Did you let the pastor and bishop know about the lesbian altar girls?

I don't think they are "real" lesbians...from what I understand it is experimentation - prevalent in the schools - around here, anyway. I suspect in a lot of other places as well, but I am lucky in that my daughter and her friends are fairly candid (I think) with me about what goes on. Some don't tell their own parents, but they end up telling one other mother and myself.

I did tell the "pastoral associate" nun, without naming names. I asked her if we could address the issue in a Catholic context at the youth group meetings. She told me she wants nothing controversial (read overtly Catholic), she envisions an inclusive yg (all religions) and the big lessons the kids need to learn is that 1. Jesus loves them, and 2. social awareness - they are lucky to have been given so much and they need to give back to society. I no longer help out with the (failed) yg and the nun really doesn't talk much to me over this issue and also that I called her on her leadership role in the local VOTF group and told her I wouldn't give Boston College a penny of my money (her alma mater) as it is no longer worthy of the Catholic name.

Our parish priest is much like this nun and one of the last things he said to me (before he started to avoid me) is that we should pull away from Rome because they don't understand us. My bishop is Cardinal Law.

It's pretty lonely around here!
