It seems cruel to visit the sins of the parents onto the children.

Moreover, it seems counterproductive to say no to such kids and I think the Church understands this. Rather than relegate such kids to public school, better to accept the children of parents who sin publicly (gay people, Mafia members, etc.) and allow them to learn in an environment that might be a bullwork against such transgressions.

It may seem cruel and it may seem visiting the sins of the parents, but in fact it may be much more loving than looking the other way.

First of all, they are not parents. Two people of the same sex cannot be husband and wife. Only a man a woman can be parents. To early on tell the innocent children in no uncertain terms that the homosexual relationship is psychologically, spiritually and physically disordered and sinful may interrupt the automatic modeling that occurs in all social situations, saving those children from a life of confusion etc.

It also sends a message to the homosexuals that they are harming those children by their homosexual behaviors. It may be a solution to tell the men that the only way the children can be enrolled in the school is if they publicly denounce homosexuality as intrinsically disordered and the acts and lifestyle and sinful and vow to live as "friends" each of them behaving as men, not one as a frontman.

It is truly child abuse to put kids in that situation and complicity to look the other way, even with the good intention of trying to mitigate problems by so doing. Remember the bishops looked the other way in the name of not causing scandal or thinking that it was charitable to lay low and let virtue grow. They never gave a thought to the absolute rape of the innocent, which is what the people in this situation are also guilty of.

I hate to say this, but I will bet you do not have kids. I do. Many and many grandkids and have had to think this stuff through and shudder when I put myself into that scenario with any of mine.

I have learned over the years that God loves truth and justice even when it is difficult. Those kids and the men deserve the truth.
