So for instance, even though it is a Catholic school, the parents demanded that the Church accommodate their political views rather than they submit to the church.
I am a Christian first. That does mean I are getting to the point I may not be a Republican. As a result, I know that many here and in the “real” world will say I am a traitor.
But I am a Christian. Christ had a crown of thorns, I don't expect a bed of roses.
As a Charlotte resident, I was quite surprised by the reaction of the parents as well as the students to the nun's speech. A newspaper article said that, because there are OPENLY gay and lesbian students who attend the school, the administrators should have been more sensitive to their "feelings". Sorry, but if parents KNOWINGLY send their kids to a Catholic school, it shouldn't be a surprise when Catholic Church representatives voice genuine moral views to them. However, if "religion" class is optional there, perhaps students should have been advised ahead of time and given the option to attend. The school accepts students who are not Catholic and takes their money. Sadly, this will always be the result when secularism is welcomed.
