Catholic School Rejects Child Because Of Lesbian Parents

[Ardent15]

"BOULDER, Colo. -- A preschooler is caught in the middle of a fight between religion and sexuality. Sacred Heart of Jesus Catholic School, in Boulder, has refused to readmit a preschooler because the child has two moms. Her parents are lesbians.

"God and Jesus would not allow discrimination in that way," said Joellen Raderstorf, one of about two dozen demonstrators who turned out at Sunday's church service.

Most of the protesters stood silently, across the street, holding signs. One read "God loves all people."

Some of them went inside during mass. The priest addressed the situation in his sermon."

1. Maybe God loves all

people but the Catholic Church doesn't and it's their school. Why would these women want to send their child to a school that would teach the child that his or her parents are living a sinful life?

2. That child should thank God

that bigoted school stopped her parents from a horrible decision to send her to Catholic school

5. it's not necessarily a bigotted school...

The school board may have supported the girl going to school there but the way parishes work is that the pastor gets veto power over whatever the lay board wants.

This pastor probably is very unpopular if all these parishioners are opposing this.

4. Funny thing...my Catholic School had a couple of openly gay teachers.

Times change and it depends on the school I guess...

6. it depends on the diocese and the priest...

Not usually the school boards.
