Whilst this may appear 'old news', Fr MacDonald makes a number of interesting points here. Whilst the SSPX Superior acted to change the text of the school handbook, the real issue is not the reaction but the fact that the text was deemed acceptable in the first place. Now anyone who has any experience in this field will surely know the amount of 'cutting and pasting' involved in legislation. However some of this can not be explained away by the simple use of generic templates and it should be of great concern for those in Society schools that this is the second time that it was only after the outcry became 'public' did they deem it necessary to do anything about it! No wonder Fr Pagliarani hates the internet. (Tradcatresist)
Fr MacDonald -
St John Bosco Private School, a school of the SSPX in Alberta, Canada has adopted the modern diabolical political correctness. It has sacrificed a Catholic ethos and chosen instead to follow the current pagan, anti-God, anti-truth, immoral zeitgeist. The attached (below) only comments on / corrects one minor point in the school handbook. The following is from the school handbook showing that all the corrupt legislation is heartily embraced by the SSPX. One can look up some of these government acts to see for oneself.
FROM THE SCHOOL HANDBOOK
"To achieve this goal, the Board requires that its schools and staff and students promote a welcoming, caring, respectful, safe learning environment that respects diversity and fosters a sense of belonging in accordance with the rights of staff and students under the following legislation and as reflected in School’s procedures: · Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. · Alberta Human Rights Act. · Alberta Bill of Rights. · School Act. · An Act to Support gαy-Straight Alliances" “Given that all students are created in the divine image and likeness of God, and are therefore endowed with an inalienable worth that cannot be violated, circuмstances involving gender identity or gender expression, as they affect a student, are to be addressed with a high degree of sensitivity, respect, and inclusion, and where required, expertise and support (in the context of the schools resources).” The quote is from the Student Code of Conduct of the St. John Bosco Private School, a school of the Society of St. Pius X in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. What are we to think of this school policy? “all students are created in the divine image and likeness of God” This is an error. The image of God is not the same as the likeness of God. The catechism teaches “man is created in the image and likeness of God”, however this does not refer to every man. It only refers to Adam and Eve. They were made in the image and likeness of God. The rest of us were “conceived in sin” and born with Original Sin. Original Sin makes one very unlike God. The Image of God is something natural. This image is chiefly in the soul which is a spirit with understanding and free will. Angels and men are created in the image of God. They cannot lose this image as it is part of their nature. The devils, damned souls, the holy souls in Purgatory, the Blessed in heaven and men living on earth and those to be born until the end of time are in the image of God, and all will for eternity be in the image of God. The Likeness of God is Supernatural. Adam and Eve were created in grace, also The angels were created in grace. Sanctifying Grace is a participation or share in the nature of God which makes one in the state of grace and child of God. Grace is the adoption of one into the family of God. God is his father. The holy angels obeyed God and preserved the state of Grace. They are like God. Lucifer and the wicked angels rebelled against God, committed a mortal sin and lost grace. In doing so they became unlike God. Adam and Even by disobeying God committed a mortal sin and lost grace. They became unlike God. By repenting and doing hundreds of years of penance they regained the state of grace. However, their sin, Original Sin is inherited by their progeny. With the exception of the Blessed Virgin Mary Adam’s descendants are created without grace, in the state of sin. They are not like God. Baptism makes one a child of God, gives him sanctifying grace and makes him like his Father in heaven."The Likeness to God is what gives one “worth” or dignity. ...and are therefore endowed with an inalienable worth that cannot be violated" This is another error. Mortal sin causes one to lose sanctifying grace, makes him unlike God and causes him to lose his dignity. Sinners, the fallen angels and the Damned have no dignity, no worth. As long as we are on earth, in the state of probation we are in danger of committing mortal sin and losing our dignity. It is not inalienable for the students of St. John Bosco School. Only the Baptised children who are in the state of grace have worth, which is always in danger of being lost. It is not inalienable. "Circuмstances involving gender identity or gender expression."God made men male and female. Every human creature is either male or female, boy or girl, lady or gentleman. This gender was chosen by God and cannot be changed. We are not free to choose our gender. Nor are we free to “identify” with a gender that is not ours. Human nature cannot be changed. Our perverse society, rebelling against Our Lord Jesus Christ, wants to usurp divine powers and let us decide for ourselves whether we are boy or girl. This we cannot do. It is a mark of the slide of the SSPX that they are adopting the theories and terminology of the revolution against God. This is another factor in the corruption of the SSPX Fr. Edward F.
