Inclusive? I am not Catholic, but I feel sorry for the traditionaalists, and what they are having to put up with. A Christian school taking down a statue of Jesus seems beyond reason
The original motive for removing them was that they were becoming “idols”. They removed all of them from our church long ago....and added a geetar, a hand shaking germ festivity, lay people passing out communion....etc etc.
Sheesh. My kids go to catholic school and I’d be pissed. If I wanted the kids to go to a basically private nondenominational school we would have made that decision. Our kids go to catholic school for the catholic religion period.
‘Bout damn time California changed the names of all those cities that begin with San and Santa. As well as the name of the capitol, Sacramento.
When do they post the verses from the koooran that mandate killing Christians?
More inclusive to muzzies? Satanists? Atheists?
I’m not Catholic - but why would a Catholic school WANT to be more “inclusive” to people who aren’t Catholics... isn’t being Catholic the POINT? What kind of mass insanity has taken over our country?
This has been getting worse and worse - but it’s really gone beyond all reason and sanity this year. These people truly need help and need to be stopped.
They will need to remove Bible verses too. Starting with John 14:6.
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
In fact, they might as well remove all the Bibles.
I was searching for the right school for one of my kids and I actually went to tour a catholic school just in case. Even though we are not Christian. The principal told me they have many Muslim families because the area had no Muslim schools (yet). So you do wonder, do they respect the tuition by others so much that they will rip off the purpose of the school for it?
Ummm, I was always taught that Jesus died for ALL sinners, how is that not the best example of “all-inclusive”?
If more people would include Mary and Jesus in their lives, we would have a better world.
The difference between Islam and Christianity is clear. Christ teaches forgiveness. Mohamed teaches killing. Killing is the nature of their religion.
The example of Mohamed on forgivness Sahih Muslim, Book 17: 4206
There came to him (the Holy Prophet) a woman from Ghamid and said: Allah's Messenger, I have committed adultery, so purify me. He (the Holy Prophet) turned her away. On the following day she said: Allah's Messenger, Why do you turn me away? Perhaps, you turn me away as you turned away Ma'iz. By Allah, I have become pregnant. He said: Well, if you insist upon it, then go away until you give birth to (the child). When she was delivered she came with the child (wrapped) in a rag and said: Here is the child whom I have given birth to. He said: Go away and suckle him until you wean him. When she had weaned him, she came to him (the Holy Prophet) with the child who was holding a piece of bread in his hand. She said: Allah's Apostle, here is he as I have weaned him and he eats food. He (the Holy Prophet) entrusted the child to one of the Muslims and then pronounced punishment. And she was put in a ditch up to her chest and he commanded people and they stoned her. Khalid b Walid came forward with a stone which he flung at her head and there spurted blood on the face of Khalid and so he abused her. Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) heard his (Khalid's) curse that he had huried upon her. Thereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: Khalid, be gentle.By Him in Whose Hand is my life, she has made such a repentance that even if a wrongful tax-collector were to repent, he would have been forgiven. Then giving command regarding her, he prayed over her and she was buried.
The example of Jesus on forgivness (John 8:1-11)
But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. Early in the morning He came again into the temple, and all the people were coming to Him; and He sat down and began to teach them. The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman caught in adultery, and having set her in the center of the court, they said to Him, "Teacher, this woman has been caught in adultery, in the very act. "Now in the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women; what then do You say?" They were saying this, testing Him, so that they might have grounds for accusing Him. But Jesus stooped down and with His finger wrote on the ground. But when they persisted in asking Him, He straightened up, and said to them, "He who is without sin among you, let him be the first to throw a stone at her." Again He stooped down and wrote on the ground. When they heard it, they began to go out one by one, beginning with the older ones, and He was left alone, and the woman, where she was, in the center of the court. Straightening up, Jesus said to her, "Woman, where are they? Did no one condemn you?" She said, "No one, Lord." And Jesus said, "I do not condemn you, either. Go. From now on sin no more."
This is an absolute travesty. It has happened elsewhere too: Georgetown; De Paul (Chicago) and Loyola (Chicago).
Georgetown has removed crucifixes. De Paul has taken down all, but the most nondescript content neutral Catholic art (usually unrecognizable portraits of St. Vincent De Paul) while Loyola has modified its bathrooms to cater to Muslim students desiring to bathe their feet.
The suicide of the West.

Anything for a buck?
According to the school's history page they clearly were established as a Catholic school in 1850. The claim that they were established as California's "first independent and first Catholic" school smacks of revisionism. I suspect they were simply a Catholic school originally. The published "history" makes no specific note of when they dropped their Catholic affiliation or whether they simply decided to "expand" their identity to include open apostasy.
“Inclusive”: pandering to homos or muslims.
