Here is the article: Denver Archdiocese’s guidance to Catholic schools: Don’t enroll transgender students. Treat gay parents differently. (eastbaytimes.com) What do you think?
I think the church has every right to impose these restrictions. A Catholic school is a private, religious enterprise. I know your post might deserve more thought, but that is my immediate feeling on the matter.
And, if there's no video? I happened to have liked the article and wanted to see what others felt. Wife and I said "A huge PLUS for religious folks who aren't into trans or the gay community."
1. Thou shalt have no other gods before me. 2. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments. 3. Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. 4. Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it. 5. Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. 6. Thou shalt not kill. 7. Thou shalt not commit adultery. 8. Thou shalt not steal. 9. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour. 10. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.
It's a private school. I think that's fine. For that matter, there are several schools that won't even enroll girls, and others that won't enroll boys.
Well, private or not, Ken, the Denver GLBTQ community is going basically nuts over these decisions. They say that it's furthering separation of society. Actually, I don't know what they are talking about. Portions of society has been separated for years and years.
Not that I'm aware of, although there are several historically black colleges with mostly black enrollments.
I don't know of any colleges who will not admit Whites or Hispanics. There are "traditionally Black colleges", but they will also admit Whites if they choose to go there.
Didn't read the link, but I certainly would not look to the Catholic church for moral guidance/authority on matters of sexual behavior....
Better take a better look, Al. Ken, John, Hoot and Don have responded. If a video was required, Ken would've told me in his reply.
