[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]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.[/quote]

You have a point. People are human; we must understand man is human and a sinner. There are subjects that are not as clear as the one on sexuality, but that one is very clear. On your example, you didn't specific any exact subject matter, but some things yes are subjective and interpretable. It depends on the subject. However, if congregations are being told something completely contradictory to the church teachings, the catechism, then that priest is wrong and leading his congregation astray. And yes, that's a problem and it should be addressed. When practicing catholic families choose to send their girls to a private catholic school, they expect the foundational values, ethics, morals that they have instilled in their household to be supported in the school at the foundational level. A teacher is an employee of the religious (catholic) school. If that employee communicates "subversion" to the values, morals, ethics, the school represents as being part of the archdiocese, that is a huge issue. This man should have already been fired. If the school chooses not to fire him, that's a huge issue on the school.
