Here they have an innocent child who they can teach traditional values to who needs just such an education.
We are in a legal world where feelings count more than facts. As such, the Archdiocese is merely managing their assets in accordance with legal risk. Consider if the childs’ mommas both decide that she is being discriminated by not recognizing and equivicating the childs family status when the school teaches the Catholic ideal of family. Can they sue - sure. Will they win - not likely. Will it cost the Church money - you betcha. Avoiding this obvious risk is a moral choice. The child will at some point in her life wonder what the right answer is. At that point she can remember her exposure to the Christian faith and decide accordingly. I am personally suspicious of a same sex couple choosing a Catholic school for their daughter. Methinks the mommas have smaller fish to fry than the moral education of their daughter. Diversity cannot be allowed to exist to the left.
I’m suspicious of the mommas too. Gays are a litigious group pushing this lifestyle already; why not push it on the Catholic church? Surely you can get some sentimental thinkers to support you as well — ‘It is so MEAN.’
Chaput came out like a good shepherd to protect his flock and take a stand. Well done, Bishop.
