“I would understand and respect the school’s decision if they truly upheld church teachings,” Wright said Sunday night. “They didn’t forbid the entrance of all the couples who’ve had premarital sex and all the kids who planned to get drunk after the prom.”

Two things:
1. Maybe if it were more obvious they would.
2. Sin is one thing. Broadcasting it proudly (same sex couple going to prom) is another.

And a third thing: How are they supposed to know who “plans” to get drunk afterward?

No fair! You’re using logic! <sarc

Since these two are bound and determined to make a spectacle of themselves and their Catholic school in their defiance of the teaching authority of the Church, I would suggest that the school help them by denying a diploma to senior Hope Decker and bid her goodbye and to expel sophomore Tiffany Wright. Let them take their apparent or actual lesbian relationship to the gummint skewels which proudly subsidize such nonsense and immorality.

Secondly, who died and left these two as gods to sit in judgment on the decisions of their CATHOLIC school to abide by Catholicism and reject their perversions??? 15 0r 16 year old sophomore Tiffany Wright apparently imagines that the Church and its institutions are some sort of democracies and that her opinions as to the governance of her CATHOLIC high school have some sort of standing and some sort of relevance. Ummmm, Ms. Wright, the Church is not McDonald's. You do it our way or you get your insubordinate backside out of here. There is no third way. AND, Tiffany, dear, can you spell Moral Relativism?

Also note that these are two more instances of giving kids a bad start in life by naming them fashionably rather than after saints which was once the Catholic tradition. Unless maybe I missed references in Butler's Lives of the Saints to Saint Hope and Saint Tiffany.

Also, spoiling them rotten does not help them one bit.

Ohhhh, golly gee willikers, there goes that elk again being soooo judgmental!

Several years ago Kellenberg HS, a very popular Catholic HS on Long Island cancelled Prom. The principal, a Marianist brother, said too much debauchery in the form of post prom drunkeness and the renting of party houses in the Hamptons for post prom “festivities” made it impossible for a school that professes that it lives The Faith to allow the Prom to continue in its name. The school’s enrollment has not suffered.

Isn’t it obvious? They’re time-travellers.
