Some parents and students at one of North Carolina’s largest Catholic schools are outraged after a Nashville Dominican nun who holds a doctorate in theology criticized homosexuality in a presentation to students, according to the Charlotte Observer.
“We the students of Charlotte Catholic High School would like to issue a formal complaint regarding Sr. Jane Dominic [Laurel]’s speech,” according to an online petition. “We believe that same sex couples have the ability to raise happy, well-adjusted and successful children … We believe that homosexual couples are capable of monogamy. As rational people, we know that most homosexual people lead healthy, normal and productive lives like their heterosexual counterparts.”
An alternate petition states that “we the students of Charlotte Catholic High School, acting on our Catholic beliefs, are declaring a formal objection towards all those who do not accept Sister Jane Dominic's lecture … We are outraged that the topics talked about are being debated within a community where the shared faith teaches us what truly is holy and that anyone would stand up against a nun, who has given her life for the Lord, and blatantly deny God’s teachings.”
Bishop Peter Jugis will attend a meeting with parents and students on April 2.
Oh, the horror! She taught the Catholic view on sexuality in a Catholic school!
I signed the petition supporting the good Nashville Dominican sister. They are the best and the students in that school were very fortunate to have her give a talk to them.
You mean a Roman Catholic nun spoke who’s actually a true Roman Catholic? I’m shocked!/sarc
Some of those parents and students should find another school. I’ll bet it was a small minority of non-Catholic parents.
Brainwashed stooges.
The Nashville Dominicans are all Catholics. :-) I know several; they teach my kids.
Yeah, masturbating inside another man's $4!thole is real healthy.
I’d be pretty confident it’s not the students, especially, but their parents, who are “immature, inexperienced, gullible, indoctrinated and lean towards stupidity most of the time.”
Where do you go online to sign the pro-Catholic petition??
It is possible I suppose. Statistically unlikely though.
We believe that homosexual couples are capable of monogamy.
Capable yes, they just don't do it.
As rational people, we know that most homosexual people lead healthy, normal and productive lives like their heterosexual counterparts.”
Nonsense.
Go to change.org/petitions.
I love the Nashville Dominicans and will do anything I can to support them against these whiny, poorly catechized students.
