In the ongoing flap between the Empire State Building and the Catholic League, the latter says the people who decide which colors get lit for what haven’t been forthcoming about their reason for denying Mother Teresa. Well, NewYorkology obtained an official statement that explains their policy rather straightforwardly.
Here’s what the building’s management company sent:
The Empire State Building celebrates many cultures and causes in the world community with iconic lightings, and has a tradition of lightings for the religious holidays of Easter, Eid al Fitr, Hanukah, and Christmas. As a privately owned building, ESB has a specific policy against any other lighting for religious figures or requests by religions and religious organizations.
Now can you please go away Bill Donohue and go back to bashing gays or whatever it is you do?

Mother Teresa? That arch-villainess contributed to global overpopulation. How many animal species continue to go extinct every year because of this horrifying calamity that Mother Teresa has helped to usher in?
Mother Teresa may or may not be a kindly old lady, But a tribute to her may be taken as a justification of the institution she repreresents, who over hundreds of years have abused not only their deceived congregations, but many nunns like Mother Teresa as well. The management of the Empire State Building has every to do with its property whatever it wants.
