Only if you believe in an afterlife. I don't think you have to assert belief in that doctrine to get your kid into Catholic school.

A lot of parents would avoid Catholic schools if they had to promise not to use birth control

No, but a diocese Catholic School is going to teach doctrine, so you need to at least be ok with your kid learning basic Catholic doctrine, which includes the belief that sodomy is a sin.

NP here. I went to Catholic school from preschool through 12th grade. Never, at any time, did anyone mention “sodomy”.

Red Flag.

PP is the true "red flag" and another reason to not send you gay kid to Catholic school

And so where does a child learn about this sexuality stuff, if not from an older person? Children only become sexualized by people around them steering them that way, influencing them.

I repeat the truth: if a child is talking about transgender nonsense or homosexuality, THAT CHILD has been sexually molested or abused or is being influenced in a negative way. You must closely supervise that
child and remove that child from such influences because it does not come from within (gays are not born that way) it comes from without.

Happy, OP? Doubt very much you’re contemplating this decision. But count this as a successful pot stirring.

Signed, not Catholic and pro LGBT, but still

Catholic here. Hell no! I will not send a gay child to a Catholic school. Are there gay students at Catholic schools? Sure, but they are forced to suppress their urges. Heck, some even grow up to become priests. We have lots of those (gay priests) floating around in various parishes in this area. A gay child can not be their true selves in a Catholic environment. Also, the ridiculing, bullying, isolation will damn near kill their soul. A Catholic school will force your child so far in the closet that their emotional and psychological well-being will be destroyed.

Look at what the Catholic Church has done to homosexuals especially boys over the years. Out of safety alone do not place your child there! Your child's mental health is way more important than the Catholic label. It hurts me to no end to see what has transformed over the years with the sexual abuse cases. I repeat do not place your gay child in a Catholic school. Quite frankly, it is not safe! Gay pedophiles run rampant in the Catholic faith and will zero in on a naive, impressionable gay child. Unless you want your child to spend years sitting on some shrink's sofa comtemplating suicide than go right ahead!

I wouldn’t send any child to Catholic school here, they are really heavy handed with the religion, unlike some Catholic schools in other countries.

Not in the diocese of Arlington whch is pretty Orthodox. I don't know much about Washington and Baltimore.

Add: The cities of SODOM and Gomorrah are cast as the literal epitome of sin. How is it fair to put a gay kid in an environment where sodomy is given as an example of the epitome of sin?

It’s not bigoted to recognize that, despite the tolerance of some teachers at some Catholic schools, the doctrine of the Catholic Church is still one of homophobia. I’m sorry if some of you don’t like that, but it’s true.

If my mom, who went to Catholic school from K-12 and still goes to church at least once a month, can admit it so can you.
