This is tyranny by any standard
Good gravy Canada is one seriously effed up place.
I say this as a committed Protestant, that Bishop isn’t a Bishop.
This is where the rubber meets the road, Christians.

And there's the rub. When you take the government's money, you open to the door to the government dictating the rules. And, given the disparity between the Church's position on homosexuality, and a government with some of the most pro-gay laws in the western hemisphere, there's simply not a spoon long enough to safely sup with (so to speak).
I don't know what the rules are on privately-funded schools in the Yukon or Canada in general, but it seems it would be in these school's interest to start exploring that option, IMHO.
Let’s just rewind to the Founding. Say that instead of taxes and arms seizure, the King had sent a letter saying this.
“You, of the 13 Colonies, must now have all your churches educate children on the virtues of sodomy, by royal decree.”
What would the reaction have been? You tell me.
I think the colonies might have tried to invade England, lol
Exactly, but the Canadians will just take it, and so will most of this country today. TYRANNY.
It certainly is tyranny.
The US will soon follow.
Each priest, deacon, minister, reverend will have to make their choice...God or man.
It’s always easier to give to Ceasar that which belongs to Caesar.
It certainly is tyranny.
The US will soon follow.
Each priest, deacon, minister, reverend will have to make their choice...God or man.
“It certainly is tyranny.
The US will soon follow.

Each layman will as well.
Woe, Canada.

Although I have nothing but a lifetime of experience and finely tuned common sense to support my opinion, this decision is “tell tale.” It indicates that perhaps the bishop doesn’t believe the Catholic teachings in question. What that indicates about the bishop I will leave to you.
This is not tyranny, this is religious cowardice.
The School is PUBLICLY FUNDED.
Yeah, a publicly funded school has to respond to the public, duh. Canada is a pro-gay nation, if you mooch off the taxpayers, you must obey to the taxpayers, the politicians they elect, and the bureaucrats these politicians appoint. Simple as that. The church leader was tested, and he chose government cheese over scripture.
This is no different than borrowing a car from a gay friend and being upset because he will not let you put a Defend Traditional Marriage bumper sticker on it. Even in an 100% orthodox Christian society, a Church institution has no business taking public money, that is how doctrine is corrupted.
