Polish Catholic university bars discrimination on sexual orientation

The Catholic University of Lublin - where Pope John Paul II once taught theology - has banned employment discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation, the Polish newspaper Nasz Dziennik reports.

While the newspaper article says that in the future, Poland’s only Catholic university will hire active homosexuals, university spokeswoman Beata Gorka says the new labor regulation seeks to ensure only that homosexuals are treated with respect.

Gorka said that the policy mirrors the teaching of the Catechism of the Catholic Church in calling for compassionate treatment of homosexuals.
