Nun Faces Backlash for Criticizing Homosexuality to Catholic School Students
Big Government ^ | 4/4/2014 | AUSTIN RUSE

Posted on 04/05/2014 2:08:56 AM PDT by markomalley

A religious sister from the highly respected Nashville Dominicans has come under attack from liberal Catholic parents and students who objected to her lecture on same-sex attraction and divorce at a Catholic high school in the Diocese of Charlotte, North Carolina.

Though no tape has surfaced from the talk, students afterward told their parents that Sister Jane Dominic Laurel talked about the causes of homosexuality, saying it was not inborn but likely the cause of psychological factors. They also say she presented data showing that children raised in same-sex parent households are more likely to end up as same-sex-attracted than children raised in more traditional households.

It is reported Sister Laurel also talked about the greater chance at life success that children have who come from households headed by the child’s biological mother and father in a lifelong commitment of marriage.

The nun scandal comes in an increasing climate of hostility to Christianity from the same-sex-attracted and their allies.   

In recent days the gay head of Disney World has forbidden his staff from officially volunteering for the Boy Scouts over their resistance to allowing gay scoutmasters.

A Catholic school in Seattle is being sued for firing an assistant principle who “married” his same-sex partner. Students there also protested his firing, organizing mass protests.

The new CEO of Mozilla was forced to resign this week for opposing gay marriage in California.

Homosexual activists in Germany threw feces at Christians demonstrating over educational questions.

Sister Laurel has withdrawn from her scheduled appearance at the Diocese of Charlotte annual youth conference scheduled for May in Asheville.

How is a nun speaking catholic doctrine at a catholic school a scandal? The scandal is that the school apparently never mentioned any of it before

I’m just so sick and tired of the drama nazis thinking they can get positive attitudes from normal people by being partisan, overbearing bullies.

F the gays.

I am tired of anything to do with the homos. To hell with them. Homos suck. If the kids do not like hearing about the Catholic Church’s positions on homos, they should STFU and leave the school.

Parents of children attending Catholic Church school reject Catholic biblical-based teaching.

If the bishop was worthy of his office he would have strongly defended the nun.

WHERE is this MADNESS going to end? My only conclusion is the sodomites, like the Muslims, are using large sums of money to advance their agenda.

The reason you send your kids to Catholic School is to keep them away from sex perverts and communists.

These parents must be retarded

----------------------------------------------->

Thanks for the link. Happen to have scheduled time to look over my charity and will make a donation to the Sisters. I saw a program years ago about the Sisters and found it to be quite enlightening.

The Sister here should have gotten her ruler out and smacked a few knuckles of the sodomites and their starry-eyed followers.

C'mon, a strict Jesuit would rap those knuckles and not batted an eye!

Yep. There is a backlash coming and it will be epic. This will not end well for the sodomites.

Exactly. If they don’t want to hear bible based teachings, they should send their kids to public school.
Shame on the parents.

I had my share of raps long ago (though not for anything so nefarious) and not just with a ruler.

Don't you think the voice of the Catholic Church and the pope himself has been loud and clear that homosexual acts offend God?

Just asking.

I wouldn’t want my kids to be instructed in Catholic teaching by a 3rd party when it comes to sexuality. I don’t care if they are high school kids. This info needs to come at the rate the parents want. The nun did nothing wrong. The school messed up by not getting permission slips out.
