....your wrong Jorge. This is a Pandora's Box that should be kept locked, lest our Catholic School's become as gruesome as the public schools!

Please explain how you think this little girl is going to change the Catholic school system.

Should the Catholic schools also ban the children of divorced parents, since divorce is also prohibited according to Church teachings?

This reminds me of when illegitimate children had to live in shame for their parent's mistake.

I think the Church and Catholic schools should be able to be charitable in these cases without compromising their moral convictions.

Soon , in the name of diversity they would have to change religion classes to Mary was a lebo and Jesus a transvestite!(sp). Think about it!!!

I completely oppose the sort of "rainbow curriculum" we've seen tried in NY that attempted to teach children that homosexuality is a normal and acceptable alternative to heterosexuality.
That was rightfully discontinued after parents protested...
If public schools in NYC rejected this, is no way Catholic schools would accept such a thing.

And again, I don't see how having a child of a homosexual attend a school is a real threat to the school.

come on Jorge, your not that dense!

.... after all the threads you have posted to on the gay agenda, you don't know the anwsers???????

.... it's quite clear here, this is a set up to get their foot in the door. Once they get this poor little (innocent girl) in, they will push for all their other sick demands.

"Should the Catholic schools also ban the children of divorced parents, since divorce is also prohibited according to Church teachings?"

From the Cathecism:

"1651 Toward Christians who live in this situation, and who often keep the faith and desire to bring up their children in a Christian manner, priests and the whole community must manifest an attentive solicitude, so that they do not consider themselves separated from the Church, in whose life they can and must participate as baptized persons:


They should be encouraged to listen to the Word of God, to attend the Sacrifice of the Mass, to persevere in prayer, to contribute to works of charity and to community efforts for justice, to bring up their children in the Christian faith, to cultivate the spirit and practice of penance and thus implore, day by day, God's grace.161"

You completely miss ~to cultivate the spirit and practice of penance and thus implore, day by day, God's grace.161"~

I can only think this is willfull on your part.

The child's mother must, if she is to in her own words which I don't believe are in the article posted, regain her faith and practice it, renounce sin and the position of the Church has not changed.

If you have attended Catholic school, you will find that the blatant sin is not paraded willfully. Charity and Justice also deal with discernment.
