| If your child has any issues whatsoever (different sexuality, mental health issues, learning issues) Catholic school is not for them. If you thought it was for them before, it is not for them any longer. |
It’s “Altar.” And divorce has never barred an otherwise properly disposed individual from communion; it is attempted remarriage that would render the person improperly disposed. This is still Church teaching. |
Actually some Catholic school are doing a good job with LDs. Like St. John’s has a program. |
Catholic schools were educating the intellectually disabled when the public schools were pushing for them to be institutionalized. There is a very, very long history of Catholic schools advocating for the education of kids that were discarded by the public schools. You need to read and understand more about he history of special needs education in this country. |
Tell that to voice to text. Also you are very, very, very wrong about divorced people getting communion. In the 80’s it was common place to refuse communion if you were divorced, and absolutely if you remarry. Are you even Catholic? His old are you that you do not know this? https://www.catholicweekly.com.au/can-divorced-and-remarried-people-receive-communion/ |
While they may have been true in the history books and while there may be some school just recently serving children with LDs it far and wide not the norm. How many children with Down’s Syndrome are in your child’s school? |
Three in mine. How many in yours? |
I believe there are two. You don’t know much about Catholic schools. |
| No point arguing with people who want to believe that ALL of any category of any thing is all the same. They refuse to understand that there can be differences within a group. |
Yea and I’m not buying your swamp land in FLA. |
Okay crazy. |
Thanks for confirming your ignorance. Here’s a video that shows some of the work being done in the Diocese of Arlington. These kids are welcome and beloved members of our school communities. I think you have a lot to learn, pp. https://youtu.be/d_GKAqi_Ol4 |
I am well aware of PVi’s program and St. John’s and Good Counsel. But I also know they don’t have multiple kids in your child’s classroom with Down’s syndrome. I have also volunteered for 10+ years with the sp Olympics basketball program and know very well how underserved these children are at Catholic schools. Also fyi autism Is not Down’s syndrome… it’s different. You can’t just lump these children all together. |
Some are. In my experience, most are not. It's conform or get out. |
I say this as an atheist whose own child is in public school, knock it off. Joining a church or religion is a choice in this country. And no one is making you join or send your kid to a catholic school. However cudgeling people with But Jesus! doesn’t do what you think it accomplishes. |
