This is utterly insane. In fact, it’s insane on so many levels that one scarcely knows where to begin.
That supposedly Catholic parents in a supposedly Catholic school environment should openly object to and nearly riot about what the sister said in the first place is jaw dropping, and that the bishop - who is officially the teacher of his diocese - should grovel to them is simply beyond comprehension.
$ trumps Jesus.
Score one for the evil one.
I took a look at Linacre Quarterly, and I think I see some articles which could put the Gay Establishment in a tizzy, like On the Psychogenesis of Homosexuality :
The best-established facts in relation to homosexuality point to developmental-psychological, not genetic or physiological, causation. The efforts of the last few decades to find evidence to support a biological theory have made it more doubtful than ever that such evidence will be found. In contrast, many studies have shown that the most significant factor which correlates with homosexuality is "gender nonconformity" or same-sex peer isolation. Another factor closely associated with homosexuality is an imbalance in parentchild interaction, notably forms of over-influence of the opposite-sex parent in combination with a deficient relationship with the same-sex parent. The third well-established correlation is with inherent, rather than discrimination-produced, "neuroticism" or emotional instability/immaturity.
Structured around this pivotal evidence from statistical as well as clinical research, homosexuality is explained here as a character neurosis. Characteristics of this neurotic character syndrome include personality immaturity, self-victimization, and self-centeredness. This syndrome affects not only the emotional but also the moral and spiritual dimensions of the psyche and if indulged leads to generalized personality deterioration. Therapeutically, a holistic approach, simultaneously addressing the emotional, moral, and spiritual components of the psyche, offers the best opportunity for overcoming homosexuality. De-egocentrization and personality maturity, including the development of mature manhood/ womanhood, are the goals of therapy.
This is why I have often stated that the Roman Catholic church in America is in schism.
Either you follow the stated doctrine, or you are not part of the church body. Now there are parishes and dioceses that do, but there are many who do not.
Many of my family members are Catholic. Some view homosexual normalization and abortion as things the church should fight for, and their parishes and dioceses agree. Some view that as disordered and murder, and their parishes agree.
So which is the “real” Catholic church in the USA?
speechless here. Prayers continue for Sister Jane Dominic Laurel.
The great apostasy and rebellion is picking up speed and taking territory. Knock it back a step and it comes right back and takes two or three more.
Each day I better understand what my late father meant when watching television he would turn to mom and say "We don't fit any more."
Too bad we can't just fast forward to the happy ending instead of ridin' the storm out.
Yes, this is the time to celebrate evil, not condemn it.. /sarc
“Parents who sought to defend the priest responsible for the nun’s speaking engagement “were shouted down by other people.” “
Unreal.
***for controversial presentation on homosexuality****
Just tell the truth about them. That should repulse anyone from believing sodomites are normal.
Reminded me of this:
But they said, “Stand back!” And they said, “This fellow came to sojourn, and he has become the judge! Now we will deal worse with you than with them.” Then they pressed hard against the man Lot, and drew near to break the door down.Same spirit, I guess.
Catholic ping!

We all see clearly the great harm president B.O. is doing to our country, and I believe most Catholics here also see the great harm certain U.S. bishops from the USCCB are doing to the Catholic Church, and especially to American Catholics and potential American Catholics, with many of the things that small sub-group of bishops have been and are still doing and saying in recent times, going against clear Church teachings.
We seem powerless to do anything about stopping the damage B.O. is doing to our country, and we also seem powerless to stop the damage that a small group of bishops (the USCCB) are currently doing to our Church and our country.
There must be a better way to band together somehow in order to apply more leverage and targeted pressure in order to stop or curb the great damage that is being done by these people -- both B.O., and the USCCB.
Does anybody have any good ideas about how we, the orthodox Catholic laity and conservative citizens, could counteract these damaging, foolish actions and pronouncements by these bozos, in a much more effective way? Is there a workable way that we can band together across America in some way in order to go beyond just venting our complaints, and actually effecting positive changes due to strength in numbers, and better-focused efforts?
My own thoughts are that restricting money to them somehow should play a part, but I'm not sure how that could be done effectively beyond individual efforts and decisions, especially for bishops and dioceses across the country from us.
God once told St. Francis of Assisi to "repair His Church", and it may be time again for a whole bunch of Church repairers to step forward and band together, and do some kind of uncomfortable Church repair work today also.
