Is this about public funding or some other legal mandate required to even operate a school?

It would be one thing just to accept tolerance ... you know like the old debate between religious tolerance vs. religious liberty.  But anything that implies a rejection of Catholic teaching cannot be accepted ... even at the cost of having the school closed down.

It does appear that SSPX school is no longer "independent".  It has become "public" by accepting funds of the State.  Once you do that, the school must adhere to the laws of the State.  SSPX must refuse funds and remain "independent".

Here is the USA, we had catholic schools, had.  Once the private schools accept "vouchers", they are taking State monies. Catholic schools then must adhere to the laws of the State.  They become "Public".

Never take any money from the State or Federal.

That approach can work here in the US but Canada is a different country, with communistic laws that are 20-30 years ahead of the US.  Canada is totally unCatholic and anti-family in many ways.  I suspect that public vs private $ makes no difference - all schools have to follow the law.  Just my guess.

Anyone from Canada that can shed light on this?
