A Catholic school in Colorado is kicking out a preschooler because the child's parents are lesbians.

The child will not be allowed to re-enroll next year at Sacred Heart of Jesus Catholic School. The Denver Archdiocese posted a statement today that the parents are "living in open discord with Catholic teaching."

The statement says students in Catholic schools are expected to have parents who abide by policies of the school and church. The Archdiocese said students with gay parents in Catholic schools would become "confused."

Hmmm... any students with parents who are divorced and remarried? :shrug:

1. Shameful

2. And there are DU'ers who still question why so many GLBT people despise Christians.

Oh well.

Love the bigot, hate the bigotry.

3. What a hateful religion, seriously.

4. If I were these parents I wouldn't have sent my kid to the school to start with

I mean why would a lesbian couple send their child to a Catholic School. Did they not know the Catholic Church's stance on GLBT issues. I mean that's like an African American parent sending their child to a private school run by the KKK.

5. I wonder if the school would kick out a pedophile father who was molesting his children?

Apparently THAT isn't "in open discord with Catholic teaching". :puke:

Hell, they would probably offer him a job as an Archbishop.

6. A pedophile Father? No, they would transfer him to a new parish.

Then the Cardinal would be given a cushy reassigment to the Vatican a la Cardinal Law.

7. Shameful. nt

8. Yep, it is clearly going beyond just "marriage"

That was the front end excuse. Now it includes adoption, spousal rights (DC), and now this which appears to be outright bigotry. There is no reason to go after the GLBT couple and even less the kid. This is beyond disgraceful.

9. Also in DC, denial of charitable services (!!)

seriesly. Catholic Charities is threatening to pull out of DC over marriage equality. :grr: :banghead: :nuke:
