I have no intention of condoning this matter. If what was written is perceived as such, I retract what was said.  What I mean to say is what do you do if the superiors "think" this is neccesary in order to deal with an already rampant and out of hand situation?
If anything, everyone should send them e-mails telling them how disgraceful their polocies are, instead of just lingering around the net being outraged and engaging in useless banter. "Action speaks louder then words," and sending and e-mail and saying a prayer is better then sitting here reading this.

Agreed.

Well I understand that Fr. S had removed that page, and that once he left, the page was re-instated.

If he were still there, I bet that docuмent would still be gone. And the school would still be functioning just fine!


But even if it were required by law (and 100% enforced), I'd still have to ask: Is this what we've come to? To operate schools, we must "officially" condone deviant behavior, even if "unofficially" we speak against it?

This smacks of a compromise; the proverbial "grain of incense" offered to a false god. Like the priests of England submitting to the King as the head of the "Church of England" instead of the Pope. It might seem like a small thing, but it's not. It's a sellout.

Isn't this the first step down a slippery slope? What about teachers who are lukewarm to begin with -- they'll look at this docuмent, and think the school is "mainstream liberal" and begin to act accordingly.

At first, it's a legal technicality. But as time goes on, more and more teachers will read it and take it seriously -- having failed to "get the memo" -- and the liberal snowball will continue to roll downhill faster and faster, picking up steam.

I suppose in some countries, which are as wretched as Great Britain, good Catholics are called upon by God to homeschool their children. Apparently even private school is out.
