COSTA MESA, Calif. - Some parents and parishioners have accused the Roman Catholic diocese in Orange County of violating church doctrine by allowing a gay couple to enroll their children in a church school.

The group demanded that St. John the Baptist School in Costa Mesa accept only families that pledge to abide by Catholic teachings, the Los Angeles Times reported in Sunday's editions. Church doctrine opposes gay relationships and adoption by same-sex couples.

School officials rejected the demand, and issued a new policy stating that a family's background "does not constitute an absolute obstacle to enrollment in the school."

"The boys are being used as pawns by these men to further their agenda," said Monica Sii, who has four children at the school.

FUCK YOU, Monica Sii! These parents want their boys to get an education!!

I loath the ignorance and the arrogance of the Catholic Church and its bigoted hierarchy and laymen.
