The Rochester, NY Democrat & Chronicle Newspaper Community Calendar offered this information in today’s 11/17/05 edition.



The real problem here is that this rainbow connection meeting is being held in the Library of a Catholic elementary school. Good Shepherd School is for grades K-6. This notice for the rainbow meeting is not posted at the Good Shepherd website nor does it appear to be advertised in their bulletin.

Is that what Kermit meant when he sang about the “Rainbow Connection”??? 😃
 
Another story from the Diocese of Rochester?:bigyikes: I think the Vatican needs to do something about this.

Nope :nope:
 
I called the number posted in the newspaper ad.
A male answered. At first he was very defensive…I had at that time only mentioned seeing the notice in the paper.
He said " Do you have a problem with the ad?"
I said “No” ( I said ‘no’ at this point because I wanted to extract certain bits of information ).
“I have a couple of questions” I said
“My wife handles most of these things” he said
“How often does this group gather?” I asked
“Once every month” he said
“Always at Good Shepherd School?” I asked
“Well we have been known to move all around but for the duration now it seems we will be at Good Shepherd” He said
“Is it a large group?” I asked
“Well, 6-8 people is all” he said
“Oh good, that is not too big” I replied
“So I will see this announcement in the D&C every month?” I asked
" Yes" he said
“This will be my first meeting” I stated.
" Oh good!! Welcome!" he exclaimed

End of conversation
 
Somebody very near and dear to me went to this school years ago along with his 3 siblings. Their father worked a 1 1/2 jobs and their stay-at-home mom volunteered her time at Good Shepherd to help keep their children in this school.

How many good Catholic parents sacrificed and still do sacrifice to keep their children in Catholic schools such as Good Shepherd? The number is going to keep dwindling at this rate.

How soon will it be before your Catholic school facilitates the gay agenda?
 
IMHO if you and others want to do something. You could go and just sit quietly reading your Bible or Praying the Rosary quietly to yourselves. No comments or interaction just a quiet sit-in each and every meeting.
 
I have some gay friends. I don’t want to hear the details of their life and I certainly don’t want to see pictures, but I don’t shun these people because I try to see Christ in everyone and I want them to experience Christianity as a loving, mercyful faith. I’m curious as to what you all think should be done with these people. Do you advocate discrimination in work and housing? Complete ostrazation from society? How will they ever get any good ideas about Christ if all the followers they see treat them as beyond all hope and compassion?

I don’t know of anybody who would recommend any of those things. I don’t think they need any special treatment or any special laws. They are, in my mind, no different than than any other couple who wants to have sex outside of the marriage covenant. They need our love and prayers. We are called to admonish sinners. The problem is that some people believe that sinners should instead be affirmed.

If I own a shop and am choosing a person to work with me, to be a positive influence on my other employees and my customers, I would choose a person who was living the kind of life God would “support”. If I own a home and rent it out, I would choose a renter who was living the kind of life God would “support”.

Unless I worked (or lived) alone and had an individual opportunity to witness the truths of the faith to someone who may be open to truth, (and therefore that person would not be in a position to be an example of sin to others in my charge) I would - to the best of my ability, ‘reward’, select, encourage, someone within the faith or someone open to truth and living a Catholic life (whether or not they were baptised and confirmed).

Yes, I would discriminate (select something over something else because of it’s nature) I would consiously choose one over another. Discrimination is not a bad word in itself! - It’s when it’s done “unjustly” that it becomes a sin.

That does not mean I do not love those who have disordered sexual tendencies, I just will not reward that behavior. EX: I **would **hire a person who used to drink, but not one who is currently drinking daily. I would hire someone on probation, as long as they were doing what was necessary to avoid the occasion of sin.

We are called to “instruct the ignorant” and to “admonish the sinner”. We MUST do this. It is COMMANDED by the Church. We have no choice in these matters. We support the good choices made by men, just as God does, and we help, by instructing and admonishing, others to see God in us and the absolute importance in following God’s will, God’s laws.

May I recommend a cd set by Deacon Dr. Bob McDonald Confronting the Gay Agenda.
