Give him his job back

[NewsWhore]

Monsignor Agripino Nunez Collado is asking that journalist Adolfo Salomon be reinstated in his post at Color Vision, saying that Salomon had done nothing wrong. The Monsignor says that he was surprised by the letter written by the Armed Forces Minister, as well as the reaction from Color Vision's owners, which was to fire Salomon, but went on to say that he did not believe that Cardinal Nicolas de Jesus Lopez Rodriguez had called Color Vision to ask for Salomon to be fired simply because he was asked an awkward question. The controversy began last Tuesday 28 November when Salomon asked the Cardinal why he thought people with "obvious sexual deviations" shouldn't be allowed in the military. The Cardinal responded by declaring his opposition to homosexuality because according to him, the presence of homosexuals in the Armed Forces would negate the structure of the chain of command. Seemingly bothered by the question the Cardinal continued by saying that the moment the military allows married homosexuals into their units they will lose out on the fundamental principle of discipline. The Cardinal also chastised Salomon for asking the question, and said that it was neither the time nor the place for such discussions. Salomon was fired from his job at Color Vision just days after asking the Cardinal the question, leading to speculation that the Cardinal had requested his dismissal. Armed Forces Secretary Aquino Garcia did admit to writing a letter to Color Vision censuring the TV station's owners, but denies asking for Salomon to be fired. Garcia says he sent the letter because Salomon had been a nuisance in the celebrations of the event he was covering.
