First things first: why was she tolerated in a position where she was instructing young people? Why was she producing "educational" material for the national bishops' conference?
The responsibility in these matters rests with the diocesan bishop; in this case, that's the Archbishop of Toronto, Most Rev. Thomas Collins.
A clue may be gained by looking at this "About Our Faith" page from the archdiocesan website.
Along with the amusing web design errors ("Cathecism"? And 5 numbered items in a list, all numbered "1"?) you'll note that it makes the church sound a lot like a social service organization. Apparently, Jesus died on the Cross to inspire us to help the poor. (And the parable of the loaves and fishes was about "sharing", etc.)
Of course, it's entirely possible that Sister left the church because she was being forced out of her position, and the Archbishop just took his time in acting, to have all his "ducks in a row," so to speak. I don't know what the backstory is. The archbishop was installed in 2007. I don't know how long Sister was in her position.
If you want to see smoke pour from someone’s ears as they realize the absurdity of their position, ask a militantly pro-abortion homosexual who believes in the “gay gene” if they’d be okay with parents aborting a child because prenatal testing demonstrated that he or she carried the “gay gene”.
So true.
There was no down side to amneocentsis until this "gay gene" nonsense came up. The absurdity reached its height when someone predicted an anti-abortion, pro-life rally with Catholics and homosexuals.
Totally weird.
there are ovarian problems that cause high androgen levels and a high percentage of these women are lesbians.
And if a child is abused, the tendency is developmental.
The choice is that one can chose behavior...
Still, no "gay" gene, but, as you say, behavior is a choice.
P.S. And if a child is abused, the tendency is developmental.
Are you talking about "the tendency" is that of being one towards homosexuality?
From what I've gathered over the decades on homosexuality, the experts always end up saying that "a variety of components, relationships with parents, males, females, environment, developmental ... all contribute to a possible tendency toward homosexuality." They don't pinpoint ANY specifics because there really aren't any to pinpoint yet.
They do say that some people have a possible "proclivity" to homosexuality. I dunno. They say that about obesity, overeating, alcoholism and so on.
VAGUE, vague, VAGUE vague
Perhaps that's the nature of medical science.
