[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do you refuse to accept that these schools are affiliated with the Church as a whole?

You can't completely separate the two. There are different levels, yes, but Jesuit is still affiliated with the Church.

You may not see it so much in the academics, but there are still going to things that pop up that are based in religious beliefs that might affect student life. Whether those are enough to turn someone away, that is their call.

[b]They are not permitted to acknowledge this[/b]. But it's fine.

I'm entitled to my choice and how I spend my money, regardless of what other people think of it. People just don't like it when they are reminded of certain things: gender inequality, history of pedophilia, to name just two.

Those who want to go are free to do so. But, some of the hysterical ones and name-callers are just another example of why I wont support it. Preaching the value of Christian education while acting that way . . . no thank you. I've seen enough of that to know that, even with the plenty of well-intentioned, good people who are Christian that I know, the ones that aren't and who use their religion as a weapon are enough to turn me off. They speak for the rest of them, or at the very least, drown them out.[/quote]

OK, the bolded is where you offensively cross the line from the stating your opinion about colleges to bigotry and misinformation. Can't you see that?[/quote]

Misinformation? I was told AT PRE CANA that I was not permitted to be a "cafeteria catholic" and that adherence to Catholic teaching and the hierarchy of the Church and its rules was required. This was an explicit statement made to my face less than 20 years ago. Blind acceptance was required.

So, no, it's not misinformation. [/quote]
