Out in Boulder, Colorado, a preschool student at a Catholic school will not be allowed to return to school next year because of what is going on at home. See, the student's parents are women, and the Denver Archdiocese says their homosexual relationship violates the school's beliefs and policy so they will deny the child an education.
Again, the Catholic Church punishing the innocent for their homophobic beliefs.
According to teachers at Sacred Heart of Jesus Catholic School, a meeting was held last week to discuss this issue, and they were told that the student would not be allowed to re-enroll because of his or her [they are keeping the child's name out of the news] parents' sexual orientation. The staff members were told not to speak to the media, though the Archdiocese happily announced to the press that "[h]omosexual couples living together as a couple are in disaccord with Catholic teaching" and that "[n]o person shall be admitted as a student in any Catholic school unless that person and his/her parent(s) subscribe to the school's philosophy and agree to abide by the educational policies and regulations of the school and Archdiocese."
An innocent child denied education because of the church's homophobic leanings. What's next? Will they shut down their foster care program, or adoption programs? oops, done that. well, maybe then they'll stop offering benefits to employees lest The Gays should be allowed the same. Oops, done that, too.
School staff members, who asked to remain anonymous for fear of reprisal, say they are disgusted by the Archdiocese's decision. Staff members said they were not allowed to discuss the decision after it was made. Some of them said they were disheartened to work at a school that preaches peace and love, but also makes this decision.
Very Christlike of the church, but then they aren't about the teachings of Christ, they are about discrimination and protecting pedophiles. And keeping lock stock and loaded gun on their vast wealth.

Well, I got news for you, Catholic Church, you can't buy your way into Heaven with coin; it's your deeds and your actions that will get you there.
Too bad.
You think they would have wanted to hang on to the little boy - to *save* him.
ReplyDeleteNice post Bob. There's nothing very christ like about the RCC right now, unless you are talking about individuals within the faith. The RCC's hierarchy is bloated, insulated, isolated, and have lost touch with humanity and the core principles of christ all together.
