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.

It makes more sense when you understand that most diocesan Catholic schools are business establishments first and foremost — and that any “Catholic” identity is a secondary consideration.

What did she say?

Amazing how far we’ve fallen in such a short time. Will we be having the same discussion about bestiality and pedophilia in 10 years?

These people have been brain-washed. They MUST be confronted and told the truth over and over again until it finally sinks in. If that doesn’t work they need to be told to STFU!

What the Gay Community doesn’t understand is what they call hate we call love, tough love because we want them to find God.

I'd guess the reaction would be the same in my area. My experience is that most Catholics send their kids to Catholic schools to keep them away from public school kids. They seem to expect everything else to be the same and they are accommodated in that.

When a local bishop was going around explaining the changes to the Mass, he was amazed that that there was support for it at one venue. It was because it was a school (run by a group of traditional parents not the Diocese). He said at every other school there was opposition because of the lack of “gender inclusive” language.

I'm not sure the parents are Catholic. If the school is anything like the ones I'm familiar with a good many of the parents are not Catholic and they are sending their kids to the Catholic school for reasons other than a Catholic education.

The Catholic schools are safer than the public schools. They have better discipline and sometimes better sports programs. The Catholic school is usually cheaper than the other private schools.

Many of these parents want all the Catholic school offers without the Catholic education.

The apologies were a huge mistake.

This nation has fallen because the preachers turned from preaching God’s words to preaching comfortable sermons that never mention sin or its consequences.They don’t even preach much about all the positive benefits of clean living.
