Protesting, holding signs, and signing petitions because they don’t want to be role models for Catholicity? Fire them then. Get them out of the school system so they don’t infect anymore children… Obviously, there is a reason the diocese has taken this kind of action. To me, it’s crystal clear. :rolleyes:
This was my first thought. These parents:eek: want to protest, demanding LOWER standards of moral behavior for the teachers to whom they are entrusting their children?!?

:eek:
 
I don’t know if these dust-ups are sincere or just seeking recognition. Why would a teacher who sincerely believes that same sex marriage should be legalized ever want to teach in a Catholic school? Again, why would anyone who wants a wedding cake want to force a baker who disagrees with him or her bake it? Why would a same sex couple want to legally compel a photographer to photograph their wedding if the photographer expresses a distaste for same sex marriage? And why would the same baker or photographer not simply tell the people that he is already scheduled for that day or just doesn’t have time? Isn’t this what civilized people do? White lies, yes, but that’s part of living.
Yep, excellent points. I don’t understand it either. I wouldn’t want someone who disapproves of what the Catholic Church stands for making my wedding cake. Talk about bad karma. However I do also like the question about why the baker or photographer doesn’t just decline the business without going into why. Back to first point - but even if a gay or Islam baker went off on me about Catholics and declined to take my wedding cake order, don’t think I’d sue…there’s some more seriously bad karma. And lastly, when Catholics sue the Catholic Church over these kinds of dismissals (failure to adhere to moral contract)…not much you can say … pass the aspirin. :confused:

It sounds like the base line point is that these people are trying to force their ideas on others and force them to lower themselves to their lower standards of morality.They don’t seem content with just being angry, they want to see, by some kind of force, their morality, or absence of morality, imposed on those of us who adhere to a higher standard, God’s Law. In the end, it is a power struggle between the forces of Light and the forces of darkness.

I can see the reasoning of the baker or photographer not giving “excuses” although, it would seem like the thing to do if they knew what trouble was brewing for them if they didn’t. They (I believe) are taking a stand for their faith regardless of the consequences. But…you hit the nail on the head as far as homosexual couples asking people that they probably KNOW don’t believe in their cause. This I have pondered time and again how these situations are likely staged for the wide publicity they receive.

Something definitely smells in Denmark. Are these really bonified “Parents and Teachers”? Hmmm…
 
For years, I’ve been saying that the worst of all possible schools a catholic parent can send their kid to often superficially resembles the best of schools. They both have names starting with St. somebody.

The WORST sort, is nominally catholic, but whoe teachers and school culture are constituted in significant opposition to orthodox Catholicism. Instead they teach a sort of polluted hybrid of Catholicism except where it conflicts with the beliefs of the teachers in question. The kids, then, learn that actual catholic teaching isn’t important. What’s important is to follow you YOU feel and to take whatever steps are necessary to warp Catholicism to fit your wants and notions. Far better to send your kids to a public school than one of these. Kids can understand fairly quickly how Catholicism lives as a minority in a hostile culture, but aren’t well equipped to deal with deception and dishonesty from authority figures.

The best sort of school is both nominally and genuinely catholic. The teachers, clergy and staff genuinely seek to conform themselves to God as revealed in His revelations to man and to be transformed and healed in the process. If you find this sort of school, find a way to afford it. Better to eat Ramen, go without vacations, drive jalopy cars and shop Goodwill than to miss an opportunity like that to help form your kids.

Glad to see that somebody is taking some steps to put an end to the worst sort of schools. It’s embarrassing to have catholic schools that are worse than public ones.
