The Catholic Church needs to rethink the idea of using teenagers to advance a political position.

In fact, they might rethink all of their political activism. Other churches should do the same. It's fine to have moral positions, but this kind of activism is not in the interest of the either the church or the government. Maybe they are starting to get it.

Area poster here. Yes, this is why I refuse to send my kid to Catholic HS, especially around here. They already had my grade schooler praying the rosary for life at school last week - totally not cool IMO since he is very young amnd rightfully has no opinions - informed or otherwise - on reproductive issues. Nor does the school teach a consistent life ethic curriculum. I have to do that at home and will be keeping my kid home from now on when they do these kind of politically minded stunts during school hours.

So you send your kid to Catholic school and are surprised the schools are pro life?

Of course not. I am not stupid, thank you very much. But I object to have 5yo pray the rosary over abortion. Teaching the theology does not equal political indoctrination of kids at this age. We deal with it at home, where it belongs.

What's preached at school is practiced at home. If you send your child to a Catholic school, expect your child to be "groomed." It's not political indoctrination in their eyes; it's a belief that life begins in the womb.

That's what public schools are for - the masses.

-former Catholic with a Catholic school education - While I may not agree with the church, it's a person's right to pay for a Catholic education and it's a school's right to also preach and put into practice the doctrine.

So disgusting that a RELIGION is grooming and exploiting kids for political purposes.

this b/c you can't read

Or you're being obnoxious.

What’s confusing? Catholics are systematically exploiting kids for political positions.

I'm not the one who's confused. I can clearly see how a religious doctrine would shape one's views. If you RAISE a child in a faith, you practice what is preached. Any religion is a BELIEF system. Abortion goes against God's will b/c an unborn baby has a soul, according to Catholicism; therefore, this belief is taught to the children. So these children share their belief - passed down to them by family, friends, schools, etc. - in a vocal manner by protesting.

In their eyes they are NOT being exploited.

I'm not religious; I've mentioned that upthread.

Are you religious, PP? b/c if you are and if you bring your children to services, you're clearly exploiting your children, right? You're filling their heads with beliefs that can indeed be political: no premarital sex, anti-homosexuality, anti-abortion. And let's not forget the "lesser" beliefs: anti-pork, no meat on Fridays, Halal, Kosher, yada yada yada.

I've said this before - that there will never be separation btw church and state until all religious beliefs disappear, as beliefs shape our views and dictate how we live our lives.
