I work in a public school and the indoctrination has become so obvious to me.
You work in a public school. I trust you take every opportunity you can to evangelize your faith to the students, then. Have you told that kid in the rainbow flag shirt just where the Bible stands on all that? Not in private, either: Right in front of the Principal and the Dean of Students. Speak truth to power!
How about that teacher who’s living with her boyfriend - stand right up in the faculty lounge and let her know exactly where that will lead. Oh, and I’m sure you very publicly let the atheists over in the biology lab in on their errors.
This Bishop sounds like he fought as best he could, but at the end of the day was a victim of the Golden Rule: “He who has the gold, makes the rules.” There are about 30,000 people in the whole of the Yukon territory. 6,000 of them are Catholics (spread over an area the size of Oregon.) He faced a Sophie’s choice of codifying every jot and tittle of the Catechism, or keeping the school open and providing some form of Christian eduction for his students. In his mind he made his choice in the best interests of his students.
I’m not saying I agree or disagree with his decision, but I’m not going to castigate him for making it. I’ve noticed we’ve gotten really good at pointing out others’ opportunities for martyrdom around here, and I refuse to act in kind.
