[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand why you people who don't actually believe in Catholicism keep wanting to send your kids to Catholic schools. There are plenty of liberal privates out there. Pick any of them and leave the Catholic schools to people who actually want a space where they can be Catholics. [/quote]

There are plenty of LGBTQ Catholics.[/quote]

LGBTQ people who identify as Catholic but do not necessarily agree with the teachings and tenets of the Catholic Church, you mean, as those individuals have chosen to opt out of believing the Church’s/Pope’s position that practicing homosexuality is sinful. (The overall tenet, btw, is that ALL people are sinful in nature—it’s just that atonement in the Catholic Church requires confession of that sin and repentance from it. And if there is a particular “sin” that you hold onto and celebrate rather than repenting, then that’s the point at which one differs from the Church’s position.)

And I’m sure there are many people who work at Catholic schools or who attend them who do not subscribe to the official doctrine or beliefs that are officially the Catholic Church’s beliefs. Especially in our very progressive area.
That isn’t the same as an “LGBTQ Catholic institution”—as they are actually bound by the church to uphold these tenets as a matter of policy. I do think there are many who look the other way on it.
But one could argue that this means they no longer hold a “Catholic position”. 
(Unlike Protestant denominations that tend to decide these things by concensus, the Pope is who determines these things for the Catholic Church worldwide. He is a “divine figurehead” who has the supreme authority on what beliefs constitutes Catholic beliefs.

So PP is merely saying why don’t those who do not agree with the tenets of Catholicism just go find another religion or school who agrees with their position/beliefs on the matter rather than try to force a religious school to change its beliefs to fit yours?[/quote]

No. There are divorced Catholics too so?[/quote]
