In the 80’s it was common place to refuse communion if you were divorced, and absolutely if you remarry.

Are you even Catholic? His old are you that you do not know this?

I doubt you are. I'm Catholic and older. Divorced Catholics haven't been denied communion unless they remarry outside the Church, i.e., without obtaining an annulment. Even the link you posted doesn't say that. It's if you are divorced AND remarried civilly that you are denied communion. I have an annotated Catholic New Testament printed in 1941 that specifically says that. It is the version that was given to Catholic American soldiers during World War II.

Indeed, the link posted makes this clear. https://www.catholicweekly.com.au/can-divorced-and-remarried-people-receive-communion/ It talks about
Catholics who are divorced AND remarried civilly.

Please note if you are divorced and obtain a Church annulment you can remarry in the Church. In the US, you cannot obtain a Church annulment unless you are legally divorced first. I know that because I tried to get an annulment before I was legally divorced and learned that in the US, that's not possible.


Being divorced is NOT a sin. Getting married outside the Church is.

I attended Catholic school until college and my children were baptized. We were members for years in a parish where we believed they would one day attend school. When my youngest started displaying traits that led me to believe he would be unwelcome, we made the decision to leave. No fanfare, no announcement. The Catholic Church will always be what it is. We are now enrolled in a lovely Episcopal school lol.

Yet this is the only archdiocese that does not honor students pronouns. He does not represent the church, he is not following their teachings. He is being political not religious.

Many dioceses have similar policies. Biological sex of man and woman is a fundamental teaching of the Catholic Church. And Catholic schools follow Catholic teachings. I am not sure why you believe that is political or not representative of the church.

That is sex this is gender.

Yes, the Catholic Church teaches that biological sex and gender are one and the same.

No they don’t.

Yes, they do. You should comb through the Catechism, esp. part 355. I believe Fr Mike Schmitz (bible in a year podcast) is going to do a Catechism in a year podcast.

Or priests could not marry interracial couples, same thing.

or women could not be part of the Dicastery, same thing.

The Catholic Church as it is currently run by the corrupt men in the US is often pathetic and behind the times.

No you can’t discriminate… it’s against the law and against Jesus.

No, it's not the "same thing." Not even close. For one thing, most of the items you have listed here affect adults, not still developing and impressionable children.

For example, in Green Bay schools are no longer allowed to use preferred pronouns, students must use the bathroom of their biological sex/play on sports teams of their biological sex/wear clothing that align with their biological sex. Do you agree with this?

Yes. Completely.

Oh dear. The church's teaching of gender is that it is wholly tied to biological sex, which is also tied to the spiritual reality of a person. For this reason, the Church teaches that a person’s gender, by law of God, cannot be different than their biological sex, fall onto a spectrum, or that it can be fluid.

how so?
sure, jan.

Every other school/diocese follows the use of correct pronouns only the most extreme alt-right / Opus Dei type schools/churches don’t follow the pronouns.

There is not catholic religion teaching or catechism that says to not honor pronouns. In addition if you follow the writing of FrMartin you will find if you are “pro life” areas that do not respect pronouns have a higher rate of suicide. So it’s against the church to create an environment that is justice and not welcoming.

There is no canon law stating you can not use gender affirming pronouns.

While the bishops believe “sex change” operations are against catholic teachings and trans children should use their own individual bathrooms, the use of pronouns in the bishops “emerging practices” guidelines express that this is inline with showing all children respect and feeling safe.

I say this as an atheist whose own child is in public school, knock it off. Joining a church or religion is a choice in this country. And no one is making you join or send your kid to a catholic school.
However cudgeling people with But Jesus! doesn’t do what you think it accomplishes.

I am actually a denote Catholic with children in Catholic schools that honor pronouns and gender expression.

I believe in separation of church and state. I think it’s evil and sinful what the Green Bay bishop is doing. But it’s been done by a terrible man who is racist and lacks empathy for raped parishioners and students. (But sure back him.)

I don’t belong to a cult so I actually shall speak up against actions by this man man, who represents my religion, but does it in a way that is sinful.

Take a seat.
