Church Group Solicits a Prostitute

The byline of this story says it all: Thanks to a church-run hospice, one disabled man was granted his dying wish: to lose his virginity.

My favorite line is from Sister Frances, the founder of the hospice named the Douglas House in Oxford: "I know that some people will say 'You are a Christian foundation. What are you thinking about?' But we are here for all faiths and none." ... "It is not our job to make moral decisions for our guests. We came to the conclusion that it was our duty of care to support Nick emotionally and to help ensure his physical safety."

Question: Does it "support" someone emotionally to aid a person in sinning against themselves, the prostitute, his parents and God?

Not likely! It doesn't help them spiritually, either.

PS: The original source confirms the lack of an emotional upswing.

"It was not emotionally fulfilling, but the lady was very pleasant and very understanding. I do not know whether I would do it again. I would much rather find a girlfriend, but I have to be realistic." - Mr. Wallis.
