The Catholic church does not condone same sex marriage. How can you teach kids one thing, but then have an example in the school that goes against the teachings? Of course a Catholic school wouldn't encourage use of contraceptives. They encourage chastity. That is the Catholic teachings. As of now, girls are not allowed to become priests in the Catholic Church. I agree it would be nice if women could have those positions. But the fact is that the church does not allow it now, so what is the point of encouraging them to do something that is impossible. |
Maybe you should consider moving to an Episcopalian church, where both the clergy and the congregation are open-minded and accepting of homosexuality, use of contraceptives, and allow girls to grow up to become priests. |
I am not a fan of girls becoming priests personally but yes it is 2024 and time to accept and love all. That is a Jesus teaching and the Jesuits I am familiar with also believe in these things too as does the Pope! Pope Francis said "Who am I to judge?" Many Catholics are open minded and progressive as was Jesus. |
Maybe you should get with modern times and not be judgmental. |
Many Americans in these "modern times" seem to lack critical thinking abilities, like the ability to assess the Catholic Church's positions with regard to women and gay people as discriminatory. |
Little Flower is not liberal at all. |
Can you please say the grade? |
Oops just saw it’s a very old thread. |
It is an old thread but many of the posts are up to date including the one about the issues in the one grade. A few girls have left the school because of that class. But SR as a whole should not be judged by the one class, it is a great school and has much to offer. My guess is the PP was talking about 2027. It’s pretty well known. |
I do not know about 2027...just assumed it was class of 2028 or 2025 based on the parents. |
