Greg Williams, a volunteer pilot for a group that provides free flights to people who need to travel for medical care, was fired from his job teaching Greek and Latin at a Catholic seminary in Louisiana after offering to fly women in need of out-of-town medical care on a private Facebook page. Williams was fired for publicly advocating a position contrary to the official teaching of the Catholic Church, which opposes abortion.
