Those parents should be given some one on one time with the school to clarify and then be given the choice to stay with Catholic Biblical teaching and understanding or be shown the worldly door.

There's no Biblically sanctioned lukewarm middle ground, no matter what the Nancy Pelosis of the world might believe and want everyone to live by.

North Carolina is not exactly a bastion of Catholic Faith.

This area is mostly Protestant.

This is a young Diocese with Catholics making up about 3% of the population.

I'd bet the vast majority of the complainers aren't Catholic at all, but Protestants trying to force the Church to buy into their menagerie of viewpoints on this issue.

"I'd bet the vast majority of the complainers aren't Catholic at all . . ."

You make a good point. I'd be very surprised if even the majority of the teachers were Catholic much less the students. Jugis is a solid Bishop who seems like he's nobody's fool. I figure he'll blindside the smug "Professional Catholics" at some point.

I suspect there will be a consolidation of the schools in Charlotte with a commensurate reduction in the number of teachers and administrators.

I live in the South too, in an area where there weren’t very many Catholics during the late 19th and most of the 20th century, until the influx from the Northeast and the (less than orthodox) Midwest.There was a lot of intermarriage but of course, in earlier decades, Protestants had to promise to bring up the children as Catholic. And Catholic teaching was orthodox.

Unfortunately, as the Church stopped insisting on this doctrine and permitted mixed marriages without any requirement to bring up the children as Catholic, you had a lot of people who either wandered off to the Baptists because it was easier in their environment, or simply developed a kind of hybrid allegiance. And of course you had the people who Vatican II drove away, many of whom became Evangelicals.

So I don’t think there is any malice aforethought in the Protestant parents participating, and I don’t think they were necessarily the source of the problems. I read that there was some sort of gay advocacy group in Charlotte that seems to have spearheaded all of this with the assistance of a couple of parents and students and a lot of agitators. I don’t think the meeting was very well-controlled and I’m not sure that they checked to see who was entering.

Thank goodness.

". . . We want our children to remain Catholic, but we are being pushed away by the climate of what is going on here.”

You are being pushed away by Satan. Maybe you should turn off the TV and pick up a Catechism. The Magisterium of the Catholic Church may be more complicated than "if it feels good, do it," but in the long run it makes more sense.

Exactly. And I think they are calling their bluff. Pray they have the courage to see it through.

Apparently Sister’s sabbatical was voluntary. I personally think she’s shocked she would receive such a backlash after speaking at a Catholic school. She probably needs a break and she deserves it IMO especially since she’s given the same talk across the country. Pray for her too.

I am wondering if they are parents or outside agitators.
You see unless 125% of the parents of all twelve grades attended the meeting, it means that not all those ‘2000 parents” actually were parents of students.

Excellent point and would make perfect sense because once the Libtards succeed in spoiling the local public schools, the remaining functioning private schools become the next likely target.
