Charlotte Catholic High School is getting backlash from students and parents after a school assembly last week.
Students said that a guest speaker discussed offensive material about divorce and homosexuality.
Sister Jane Dominic, with Aquinas College in Nashville, has a doctorate in sacred theology.
But her message about the influence divorce has on gender identification and homosexuality didn't go over so well....
In an online petition, which now has close to 1,800 signatures, one student wrote "we found some of (the) ideas expressed to be both offensive and unnecessarily derogatory. We are incensed that you knew the content of this speech and allowed these ideas to be expressed in a school that should be preaching a message of love and acceptance."
...In the meantime, a second petition has also been created in support of Sister Jane Dominic's message. That petition has approximately 200 signatures.

I guess these kids want to love and accept murderers and thieves too. After all, they can’t help doing what they do.
IMO, i don’t think there is as strong a connection between homosexuality and the lack of a strong father figure. Just saying.
“Some Catholic schools take in fairly large numbers of non-Catholic students.”
I doubt that is the case here; the weak leadership of the American Church, combined with the absurd insinuation by the media that this new Pope was going to change many “conservative” positions in the Church, have left many “Catholic” parents believing this nonsense. They think the “fundamental transformation” of the country also happened in the Church.
Either it's church doctrine or it isn't, "airing out" or not.
The school is a Catholic H.S., is it not? So ...
WTF, OVER?
I’ll repost the response I gave on the Michigan Homosexual “Marriage” thread, as it applies here too ...
“Marriage Inequality A Pretense for Tyranny”
Once again, an activist federal judge has perverted justice, using the pretense of an imagined inequality, so to assault marriage; but could there ever be equality between what is sacred, fruitful, the foundation of human society and that which is depraved, sterile and intrinsically violent to human nature? Homosexual practice is fundamentally opposed to life, thus the homosexual can increase his number only through seduction, which is why their propaganda targets the young. Several state legislatures amended their constitution so to protect traditional marriage. However, by overruling the will of several state electorates, a politicized federal judiciary, indifferent to the meaning of justice, poses a direct threat to the moral character of this Republic. A judiciary that impudently treads upon millennia-old precepts, and circumvents the moral will, championing debauchery and redefining marriage to grant extraordinary rights to sodomites, subverts the family and our nation. We have a dictatorial central government, neither federal nor republican in nature. That to which oligarchs command we give our assent is vile, and hostile to the Natural Law.
The notion that homosexual acts equate to the procreative union of husband and wife, living under the sacred bond of marriage, is insanity. Marriage, ordained by God, is unique by its procreative capacity and the distinct but complimentary benefits provided the child through father and mother. By its efficacy, bloodlines are established a genetic heritage, whose connections represent the bonds of human society: parents, siblings, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins. Homosexual unions provide no such continuum; rather they create a genetic disconnect they are intrinsically and socially sterile. Such false unions beget a nation devoid of the bonds created by genuine families, and thus a nation without identity.
Homosexuality is the result of a choice, not an immutable trait there is no gay gene. Published studies, even those conducted by homosexuals, could not prove the case. In research on identical twins, the correlation never exceeded 11 percent; but, if such a gene existed, individuals with identical DNA would share the same sexual identity. This is the fatal flaw of gay gene theory; and, even if such genetic pre-disposition existed, a gay gene could not sustain itself in the population for by its function it would become extinct. Two possibilities explain homosexual attraction: sexual abuse at an early age; or self-loathing.
Homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered to mans nature. Why would any man desire to place his penis in the feces-laden colon of another man, performing an act of masturbatory friction? It is a metaphysical dead end which produces nothing. What does the sodomite achieve by committing an act so malicious to life? It is the psychological high derived from a belief that, by such action, he takes to himself those qualities of his partners personality which he lacks. This is the pathological character of self-loathing.
The notion that one may achieve his ideal self by absorbing the personality of another human through sexual coupling is the essential nature of homosexual behavior. This is why the homosexual appetite and all other forms of sexual deviancy are insatiable. The ego can never believe it has obtained what it unjustly desires; and so the deviant endlessly exploits others to acquire what he can never possess. The need to fill a perceived emptiness compels homosexuals to promiscuity, even while they pretend committed relationships are possible. Unlike the sacrificial nature of agape love, homosexual love is superficial, and thus their argument for marriage equality is dishonest. Claims of discrimination are a fallacy, because, as a group, homosexuals tend to be successful and wealthy. Their supposed victimhood is a product of their own behavior.
In what acts do homosexuals engage besides anal sodomy? The sodomite would rather we not discuss them, but they include: anal fisting (self explanatory) scat play the wearing and eating of human feces; gerbiling - the enticing a gerbil, or similar creature, to enter the rectum; sadomasochism the humiliation and physical torture of a partner; and, masturbation while self asphyxiating literally hanging oneself at the moment of orgasm. Compared with the general population, homosexuals have higher frequencies of domestic violence, sexual assault, drug abuse, and suicide. Add into this mix: all the various bacterial and viral infections they communicate among themselves; the illnesses contracted through repeated infections, which result in a compromised immune system; and, the inhalation of poppers - a nitrate muscle relaxant, prevalent in gay clubs - the habitual use of which destroys heart tissue and degrades immune response.
The homosexual lifestyle is violent, destructive, a danger to public health, and anything but gay. However, these individuals demand we celebrate and propagate their behavior upon our children. Gay is a term militants use to indicate pride in what is destructive to physical and psychological well-being; and yet these behaviors we are told to accept as normal.
Contrary to the opinions of black-robed gods, the push to redefine marriage has nothing to do with equality, but everything to do with transforming human society and cultural institutions, so to reflect and promote homosexual lust. In this brave new world the sexual deviant never need face the truth of his behavior. Under this paradigm the age of consent will be lowered and abolished; because homosexuals can increase their number only through seduction and there is no better target than the inexperienced teen or innocent child. That is the agenda of the gay rights movement. To allow this agenda an unopposed path is not an act of tolerance, nor is it charitable to the person burdened by same-sex attraction; for it is indifference, not hate, that is the true opposite of love and it is indifference that the gay advocacy demands of us.
I signed the petition supporting the sister.
Honestly, sometimes I think the Church should just shut down some of these so called Catholic schools.
I went a step further and made a small gift so they can continue to send the Sisters around to more schools. Anybody who has seen my posts knows I tend to be critical of the Catholic Church. I attend Mass with my wife and daughter and think the world of the priest, but the church as a whole has far to many pocketbook Catholics. They are Catholic unless it impacts their bottom line or lifestyle. That said, when they do something right, like these Sisters, I will support that and thank God for them. I encourage everyone to do that, and at their website you can leave a message of support. Nashvilledominican.org
