Catholic School Admits Gay Couple's Son, Outrages Parents

St. John the Baptist School in Costa Mesa, California, has decided to admit a boy adopted by a two gay men. This has outraged the parents of other students there and they want the school to admit no one except from families who abide strictly to Catholic teachings - like I'm sure all of them do. Let he who is without sin cast he first stone...

The Mercury News reports:

"I firmly believe that this policy is in line with the teaching of the Catholic Church," Rev. Martin Benzoni, who oversees the 550-student elementary and middle school, told the Times. Rev. Gerald M. Horan, superintendent of schools operated by the diocese, suggested that hewing too closely to Catholic beliefs would mean banning children whose parents divorced, used birth control or married outside the church. "This is the quagmire that the parents position represents," Horan said. "It's a slippery slope to go down."

Seems pretty sensible, unlike any of the parents...

"The teachings of the church seem to have been abandoned," said parent John R. Nixon. "We send our children to a Catholic school because we expect and demand that the teachings of our church will be adhered to. If our Catholic school is no longer teaching and living Catholic doctrine, we might as well send our children to public schools."

The fact that the school admits a child whose parents don't abide by Catholic doctrine to the degree Nixon wants means, therefore, that the school isn't teaching Catholic doctrine anymore? Talk about a leap of logic. Last I heard, most parochial schools don't even require students to be Catholic.

Others worried the boys' attendance would set a precedent, portraying it as part of a larger effort by the gay community to change church strictures. "The boys are being used as pawns by these men to further their agenda," said Monica Sii, who has four children at the school.

Because, as you know, gay parents have no interest in their children having the best possible education — or even a Catholic education. Everything gay people do is for the sake of achieving some political gain over straights and furthering their agenda of world domination.

It's all plain as day...
