BOSTON (AP) -- The head of education for the Archdiocese of Boston has offered to help find a Catholic school for a boy denied acceptance at another one because his parents are lesbians.

Isn’t that what publik skools are for?

Do you know if a lawsuit has been filed against the first school that denied him admittance?
Send him to the Church of Bob.
as long as the kid attends a school that adheres to Catholic teaching that marriage is between opposite sexes and cohabitation otherwise is sin, and the Mommies don’t try to intimidate the teachers into changing the material, I’m fine with him being fully educated in the faith.
I agree with you. Believing comes by hearing the word. I have a feeling that this kid will be forbidden to attend chapel by his mommies - maybe not - but even so, in such an environment, he may be exposed to God’s word in other ways. I am for it. He is the innocent soul here.
I don't.But having lived here all my life I know just how big...how powerful...how well funded...how well connected...and how highly motivated the pervert lobby is here in Massachusetts.
I know as well as I know my own name that this isn't just someone looking for a school for their kid.There's a larger legislative....and/or PR....and/or financial motive at play here and it's being orchestrated somewhere other than at the "mommie's" kitchen table.
I sure hope you don't think that that's the way this is gonna play out.
my dd attends Catholic school, I dont believe there is an “exemption” from attending mass.
noncatholics may sit and not participate in the sacraments but they must attend.
If this bishop is bending over backwards to find a Catholic school for this kid, then he will find one that won’t offend the Mommies by teaching what the church says it believes in and stands for
sadly
Sounds like homosexual activism. The perverts are using the child to wage battle against the Catholic church.
Even better.
Cardinal Sean, of course, threw the big funeral for baby-killer Teddy. As hundreds of pro-abortion Catholics trooped up for Communion, he said nothing.
Weeks later, he claimed to a reporter that he had been begging the Holy Father for “guidance” on the issue of Communion for pro-aborts.
Of course, this means that he was “unaware” that Canon 915 (in the 1982 Code of Canon Law) settles that question.
A web of lies, lies, lies, lies, lies, and compromising.
That's a distinct possibility.
I think you are right. These folks are looking for trouble.
And just why would two lesbians want their ‘child’ to attend Catholic School.
Oh I can just imagine.
Because political correctness has entered the Catholic Church (and smaller ones as well), the Catholic Church will end with the next pope. He'll be the last.
So, the church is involved in advocating sin? Why not send the kid to a government school where homosexuality is considered righteous already?
No offense, but if I were a Catholic in this church, I'd stop sending in those tithe envelopes.
