Catholic Parents Gone Wild
It seems some Catholic parents out in Costa Mesa CA want to ban two adopted kindergarteners from attending St. John the Baptist school because their parents are two gay men (link to story). Their argument is that the kids should be banned because their parents do not follow church doctrine. The school has refused to do this, and the parents are threatening to take the matter up with the Vatican.
Money quote: “The Rev. Gerald M. Horan, superintendent of diocese schools, said that if Catholic beliefs were strictly adhered to, then children whose parents divorced, used birth control or married outside the church would also have to be banned. “This is the quagmire that the parents’ position represents,” he said. “It’s a slippery slope to go down."”
Doh! Betcha the whining parents didn’t think of that. Besides, I thought that Church doctrine exempted children from the sins of their fathers?
