'We contradict our values, and undermine the distinct identity of the Catholic school system, if we pretend to endorse political ideologies at odds with our Catholic faith.'

I say, call it what it is: The Cornhole Pride flag.

Please get rid of mandatory celibacy which only leads to governance by closeted homosexuals and obtuse a-holes who don’t know how to talk to married couples. A clerical elite is the enemy of enlightenment.
