Chaperones lead Catholic schoolgirls out from "Nutcracker Suite" performance with same-sex roles, causing criticism, agreement

[EndTimes]

So if all the girls had talked about homosexual marriage with their parents (or even their teachers) then they could have seen the play?

No. All Children should be taught that Homosexual Unions are Gravely Sinful

Nobody seems to want to talk about this. Thank you for listening to what i said.

I say Catholic parents and Catholic schools should be teaching children Catholic teachings and protecting them as best they can from sinful ones. When the children are fully independent adults, then they can so whatever they want.

Exactly.

There are always those who’ll peddle Sin…

And war is an offense against peace.

But many divorces occur because of the action of only one spouse, who may not be the one initiating the divorce.

So it does not seem that divorce is sinful in and of itself.

So they went to a play, not the ballet, and no one researched it beforehand?

I saw a production of the nutcracker when my daughter was I guess 9 years old. I didn’t really remember a “love scene” with the parents.

I’m not sure I as a parent would appreciate my child’s school being on the news. It doesn’t take much sleuthing to find out names of students.

Bad planning seems to have been the issue.

That won’t stop any who just might support the LGBTQ agendae

Not sure I care. I know what my daughter thinks of eating peas, and what her brother thinks of washing his hands after using the potty. Neither are relevant at all.

What is most revelant connects with God… Regardless of what one cares or believes.

The Catechism spells all of it out for us!

So shouldn’t Catholics walk out of a film with a divorced couple just like they do with a gay couple?

No. The sin is not in the separation.

 

[OurLadyofSorrows]

The point I am making is that divorce and remarriage (without an annulment) is considered continuous living in sin, just like gay marriage is.

That is a new topic for a new thread. Please make a new thread.

I would think that the age of a child would make a difference. For example, most people probably wouldn’t force a sixteen years old child to eat peas if they don’t like peas.

 

[vz71]

I said a couple that remarried without an annulment.

No. You said:

No mention of anullment, no mention of marriage.

These What If’s? have a tendency to drift the discussion away from the OP?

Let us not forget the bottom line.

Active Homosexuality and Same Sex Unions are a very Grave Sins…

If a parent doesn’t want their children to see whatever - it’s no one’s business if they do.

Such has been the way of Most Parenting throughout All History…

 

[vz71]

The point is that if you ONLY walk out of a movie with a gay relationship, but stay for other “sinful” relationships. you are clearly showing a bigoted viewpoint.

Just because someone will tolerate one sin does not mean one must tolerate all sin.
It is not a hypocrisy unless one is differentiating between the same sin.

 

[EndTimes]

The point of discussion is that according to Catholic doctrine divorce, sexual relationships before marriage, and so forth are also grave sins.

The focus of the OP connects with Sins connected with Homosexuality,
and not with the far larger topic of “grave sins”

ERGO,
When discussng specific sins Just As The Catholic Church does…
especially those which connect with e.g., Sodomy and HomoSexual “unions”
We must maintain the focus upon them - so that their gravity is very clearly understood and taught

Pretty sure that the Catholic view is that homosexual relationships are disordered in a way that illicit heterosexual relationships are not. Sorry to tell you that is not “bigoted”, and I think you are breaking one of the CAF rules when you call Catholic teaching “bigoted”.
I don’t think anyone needs to “help” Catholicism by insulting it and watering it down.

 

[vz71]

But I maintain such a statement is not only bigoted but also highly damaging to the viewpoint modern Catholicism is trying to promote.

tu quoque fallacy on display.

I didn’t know that there were degrees of mortal sin. That one could be worse than the other. Perhaps there really are seven circles of hell. Who would decide on this?
