I guess I didn’t see it as an attempt to dissuade. I saw it more as an attempt to expose the situation. And by exposing it, pressure might be brought to bear in correcting it. Well the exposure has occurred. The Bishop used it as a teaching moment. It remains to be seen whether or not it will have the good effect the Sills desired.
How about a significant number of saints?
Not really and issue… because the reality is few orthodox Catholic schools produce a significant number of Saints!
What does it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his immortal soul?
You know… it’s very nice that you are oh so holy. But the bottom line is most of the parents seem to agree with whatever they are doing at the school (or at least feel they are getting something of value even if they don’t agree with everything). Until that changes, the school will continue to operate as it usually has. So, the only other viable option for parents who disagree with the principal and are unwilling to disagree in a manner that is acceptable to the school’s administrators is to find another school for their kid(s).
Somehow I don’t think you mean that. The Sills are the ones who have displayed holiness here. They have the courage to stick their necks out for our little brothers and sisters. The betrayal they have experieced at the hands of so-called fellow Catholics puts them in the same company as Our Lord, who experienced similar betrayal by his friends. The rest of us could take a lesson from them.
So you’re putting your eggs in the safety-in-numbers basket. Is this the kind of arguement you intend to use at your judgement? “Well God, I was only taking the same position on this baby killing thing that everyone else was.”…pretty ironic for a smart chick.
Um… in case you haven’t figured it out by now… I am pro-choice!
Hmmmm. I’m not sure why it goes to the registration first. Sorry about that.
Are you Catholic smartblkchick?
Just hoping to talk a sister out of it.
If you wouldn’t mind telling me, may I ask why?
Well we know that was what margaret Sanger thought. She looked on Planned parenthoods mission as being one to rid the world of undersireables-Blacks in particualr. And her organization has suceeded beyond her wildest dreams-millions and millions of black children aborted in the last 30 years.
How sad. you will be in my prayers.
The “!” is interesting. Are you actually enthusiatic about “choice” such as school choice, SUV choice, gun choice, consumer choice, smoking choice etc.
Here’s a thread I started which you should check out…
Makes perfect sense, I for one whole heartedly agree.
Maybe I am missing something, but how can it be otherwise? I do not understant how non-Catholic teachers can do anything but take away from the Catholic atmosphere of a school. At my son’s Kindergarten orientation, during the Q&A, I asked if the teachers were Catholic. After a long pause and being looked at like I had two heads, she finally answered yes, except for the music teacher who was Lutheran.
