I checked it out: 1770 words, and they couldn't find one parent or teacher that supported the policy? They couldn't wedge in one direct quote from a diocesan or parochial-school official? They couldn't even bring themselves to mention, by name, the man who is pastorally responsible for this policy, Archbishop Dennis M. Schnurr?

This is reporting?

I hope for two things right off the bat: I hope Archbishop Schnurr will stick to his guns, put up his dukes, and in mixed-martial-metaphorical style batten dow the hatches and stick with his policy.

I also hope he will find many "teachable moments" in which he can direct, guide, and catechize his flock and the community at large.

Another obvious proof tht we are decades behind on that.

Decades or more.
