Why? He is basically showing compassion and love to LGBTQ kids it sounds like to me? I think Jesus would approve. I would be more upset if he was homophobic and shaming kids. |
It's a troll. |
I think your MS child should leave the school in that case. It doesn't sound like a good fit. It's not like your child's feelings are valid. |
| I'm wondering how many people on this thread are actually Catholic and actually have kids at Stone Ridge, because some of the comments ring pretty false. As a Catholic parent raised in post-Vatican II schools and parishes, the only part that doesn't sound like everything I've heard my entire life is the actual word "subvert". Other than that, I've attended plenty of parishes where our priest has literally said something during mass that is contradictory to the black-and-white parts of Catholicism. He'll say something to the tune of "the church says this, but God says this, and so I leave you with the message that man is imperfect, god is not, and to follow the teachings of Jesus and..." and so on. Are there so many Catholics in this area who have never experienced this that they can't imagine that someone associated with a Catholic school would say this? I'm really bothered by the literalists and conservatives who have infiltrated the Catholic Church and turned their backs on thousands of years of intellectual thinking and debate. |
Why would they not be valid? I am not the PP, but if a child is feeling uncomfortable because a teacher in a CATHOLIC school mocks Catholicism, I think that is something that should be addressed by administration...especially if she is not the only student feeling that way. |
Simple: the PV "reporter" asked the teacher a question using these loaded terms and the teacher responded to the question repeating these words. It wouldn't have been the smartest decision on the part of the faculty member to ape these words, but they might not have been his to begin with. |
He said "and that feels great." I don't think those words were put in his mouth. |
But you wouldn't know if they were given how heavily edited PV's "evidence" is. |
| Anyone who believes anything that PV puts out is a rube who should let me inspect their wallet for a few minutes. |
It’s a Washington Independent School. It’s not associated with the Archdiocese of Washington. Although it’s a Sacred Heart affiliated school, there are no nuns or priest teaching at the school. Again, it’s a Washington Independent School with core values stemming from Catholicism but has faiths from all backgrounds attending the school. |
As a conservative Catholic, I suggest you teach your daughter to get a grip. |
Such a pointless rejoinder. |
As an adult, I suggest you get a grip on yourself, troll. A student who goes to that school has a right to her feelings especially when the actions of the leader at said school affects her. |
Why should the student have to leave the school when the dean is at fault? The dean made a huge mistake and did something stupid. Trying to subvert the very basis of the organization's principles is cause to be fired. |

Can more SR parents weigh in on whether the students are actually upset by this? I am a Catholic with a girl currently in public MS and live close to Sr and was thinking of applying for HS. But I definitely don’t want to send her there if the bulk of her classmates would be upset over something like this. We have lesbian family members and friends.
Also, after seeing so many bishops who told Catholics that objected to the covid vaccine that they should follow their conscience even if it deviated from church doctrine with respect to the vaccine…..I would think that Catholics could follow their conscience when it comes to our treatment of our gay and lesbian sisters and brothers in Christ. To paraphrase Patrick Henry, if this be “subversion,” make the most of it. |
