Catholic Church slams new code of conduct forcing teachers to promote Islam and gay rights
By SIMON CALDWELL 02nd March 2009
Oona Stannard: 'It would not be possible for a person of faith to promote another faith ¿ this is a matter of conscience'
The Roman Catholic Church has severely criticised a proposed new code of conduct for teachers which it says will force Christian schools to actively promote Islam and gay rights.
The Bishops Conference of England and Wales has warned the General Teaching Council, by the professional regulatory body, that many teachers will quit the profession because they will not be able to accept the revised code of conduct in good conscience.
Their advisers say the code would also seriously undermine the religious character of church schools by imposing on them a hostile form of secular morality.
The legally-binding code would discriminate against Christian teachers in recruitment and in the classroom, they say.
Principle 4 of the code demands that teachers proactively challenge discrimination and promote equality and value diversity in all their professional relationships and interactions before they can be registered.

You can stick a fork in the once “Great Britain”. They are done!
What are you ranting about?
I wasn’t ranting so bite me :)
I give up.
Nice...
Hmmm. Nicer than your passive-agressive post?
I especially like your “nice” post while quoting my post.
Again, bite me. I meant it.
I’m surprised. You strike me as someone that can discuss things rationally. Not someone who posts quotes out of context. As per your quoting me without quoting the entire post and posting two separate quotes as one. It’s a common practice for those not as smart as you so I’m surprised you resorted to that trick.
Thanks for exposing a real anti-Catholic, FR’s own Salvation. It was only a matter of time before her burning hate of the Catholic faith was was revealed.
Freegards, good grief
Am I missing something? Out of the loop?
I certainly didn’t mean my post to convey that Salvation was anti-Catholic but I do disagree with her post in this thread. I assume that’s ok to say. I’m surprised by the posts I read in this thread and disheartened by Salvation’s post because I do respect her and every post I’ve read from her.
Again, I assume it’s ok to disagree with posters, even those I usually agree with, even those who are Catholic.
If you got something to say, why not just freakin say it and not cloud it in this psychobabble?
Good Grief and rolling my eyes more.
Sure it’s cool to disagree with posters. It’s just that you called Salvation’s post “tripe” and nobody understands why you are so upset about what she posted. Seems like it was a good post to me.
I’m betting on “missing something”.
Freegards
Thanks for the reply. I don’t agree. And, maybe I missed something.
I still think Salvation’s post was tripe and if she has an issue with that I know she’ll reply to the post.
Who is this “nobody” that doesn’t understand my post (and I’m not upset, other than with Salvation’s post and I think she gets that and if not again, whatever.). I still think Salvation’s post that I commented on is tripe.
You may not understand that, which is your right and objective of course, but I really don’t care what you think. I care what Salvation posted and care what she thinks because I respect her. I’m more interested in her responding to my post. If she chooses not to, again whatever. I’ve been reading her for over two years and sometimes posting with her. I don’t give a damn what any other poster thinks but I used to care what Salvation posted and her post on this thread shocked me and I disagreed with it. It was tripe, in my opinion of course and as far as I know, that’s still allowed here.
Again, I don’t care if you or anyone or “nobody” understand why I disagree with Salvation’s post. I’m barely caring if Salvation understood it and I actually respect her.
She’ll respond or not and either is ok.
You thought her post was a good post. I thought it sucked.
I’m betting on not missing anything important.
The “nobody” was in reference to anyone reading this thread who has bothered to post so far. But maybe I missed something too. Good luck bro.
Freegards
Change it to “sis” ;)
I think we’re the only two replying to this thread anyway, on the thread.
Take Care :)
Please take me off all the pings lists. I no longer want to be a part of them. Thanks.
This is why Asians rocket past us in the STEM careers. Their educational systems aren’t riddled with this CRAP. Something to be said for a *lack* of diversity, I suppose.
Our God is a jealous God. However, He is not jealous OF us... He is jealous FOR us. He wants us all to Himself. He will not share His people with any other idol or god.
My God isnt.
Im surprised at some of the posts I read on this thread.
Why? I got the impression that you were Catholic. Do the Catholics no longer worship the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob? The God who calls himself Jehovah? God the Father, Jesus Christ (God the Son) and God the Holy Spirit?
What does God say about His jealousy in His word:
Exodus 20:5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
Exodus 34:14 For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God:
Deuteronomy 4:24 For the LORD thy God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God.
Deuteronomy 5:9 Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me,
Deuteronomy 6:15 (For the LORD thy God is a jealous God among you) lest the anger of the LORD thy God be kindled against thee, and destroy thee from off the face of the earth.
Joshua 24:19 And Joshua said unto the people, Ye cannot serve the LORD: for he is an holy God; he is a jealous God; he will not forgive your transgressions nor your sins.
Ezekiel 39:25 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Now will I bring again the captivity of Jacob, and have mercy upon the whole house of Israel, and will be jealous for my holy name;
Joel 2:18 Then will the LORD be jealous for his land, and pity his people.
Nahum 1:2 God is jealous, and the LORD revengeth; the LORD revengeth, and is furious; the LORD will take vengeance on his adversaries, and he reserveth wrath for his enemies.
Zechariah 1:14 So the angel that communed with me said unto me, Cry thou, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great jealousy.
Zechariah 8:2 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; I was jealous for Zion with great jealousy, and I was jealous for her with great fury.
Seems that God (The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit) has no problem with His jealousy, why should you?
And more on topic, while some Catholic schools maintain good Catholic doctrine and train the children correctly, others have instructors taught in these so called Catholic colleges that have abandoned Christ for a liberal "feel good" god who lets them do whatever they want to do. (Want to have a club celebrating perverse sexual behavior and have the college pay for it? Sure no problem!)
Homeschool is the only way to be certain that your kids will be strong enough to stand against the liberal enemies when they get to college. Lots of Catholic school kids (and public school kids too, of course) get to college and abandon their faith.
