Catholic School Caves: Student Allowed to Display Pro-Abortion Sticker and Remain at School
Breitbart ^ | 2/12/18 | Dr. Susan Berry

A sophomore at an independent Catholic school in Greenwich, Connecticut, has been permitted to remain at her school and display her sticker that says, “I Stand with Planned Parenthood.”

“The school has reversed their earlier decision and is allowing Kate to leave the sticker on her laptop,” Tracy Murray, mother of Kate Murray, announced, according to Greenwich Time. “Kate has chosen to continue to display the sticker and is happy to remain a part of such a special community. We are moved by the outpouring of support by the alumnae and the community at large and are heartened by its encouragement of one young woman’s voice.”

Kate had originally been told she would have to remove her sticker in support of the abortion giant in order to remain a student at Sacred Heart.

However, in explaining the reversal of the decision, Sacred Heart Head of School Pamela Juan Hayes says the issue of Kate openly supporting the nation’s largest provider of abortions in a Catholic school was one of “freedom of expression.”

In an op-ed at the Stamford Advocate titled “Nurturing Freedom of Expression at Sacred Heart,” Hayes, also an alumna of the school, wrote Sacred Heart has been dealing with “such important issues as freedom of expression, diversity of thought and mutual respect” under intense media scrutiny.

How can you make a general statement using the word “All?”

Are you not aware that the seminaries were inspected and that applicants for the seminary must now undergo a two-day psyche test. Parents, pastors, friends, and acquaintances are interviewed — it’s a very detailed process. If you want the links for proof, I’ll be glad to send them to you.

No, a Franciscan, one or two Jesuits, some Parish priests.

Freedom of expression, huh? Well - let's test that theory. Some student should put a "marriage is one man-one woman" sticker on her laptop and see what happens.

The sophomore's soul is in danger.

The souls of the parents of the school are in danger.

The souls of the members of the school administration are in danger

The souls of clergy who oversee the school are in danger.

The soul of the bishop of the diocese is in danger.

The school, being a division of RCINC, in this case does not want to alienate wealthy alumni/donors who hold “enlightend views. RCINC doctrine and actions is very flexible when considering cash flow and donations.
