Responses:

This doesn't bother me. The Church is welcome to its eachings. I only get torqued when they try to impose them on others. - TWuG Mar 9, 12:09 7
- There were non-Catholics that attended my Catholic school. Sometimes, they are great schools. - ty97 Mar 9, 12:13 6
  - I went to catholic kindergarden even though my folks were Jewish, we had moved from japan to Salt Lake City and public schools then were as much under - zeitgeist Mar 9, 12:28
  - we had one Lutheran in my Catholic elementary school class. - znufrii Mar 9, 12:15 3
    - Heck, my 8th grade teacher wasn't Catholic. -- nm - ty97 Mar 9, 12:22 2
      - heck, a bunch of the nuns who taught me were gay. -- nm - loosilu Mar 9, 12:24 1
        
        This doesn't surprise me. For a certain generation, that was the route, I guess. - ty97 Mar 9, 12:25
  - My sis teaches at a Catholic school (actually the one we went to as kids) where just over half the students are Catholic. -- nm - loosilu Mar 9, 12:14
These stories are tempting me to use my upcoming kidlet as a tool for controversy ... - Beryllium Mar 9, 12:01
I wonder if there is more to this story. That seems unusual for a Catholic school. -- nm - ty97 Mar 9, 12:01 1
- some schools are very rigidly conservative. -- nm - loosilu Mar 9, 12:02
i thought that children were not responsible for the sins of their parents. -- nm - tRuMaN Mar 9, 12:00 28
- I don't think it's that simple, it's not the child who's entering into the business relationship here or paying the bill. -- nm - Ender Mar 9, 12:05 13
  - This is a solid point. I'm sure they don't want to accept money from The Fabulous Satan. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 9, 12:06
  - If the checks clear the bank...who cares? -- nm - Jim Mar 9, 12:06 11
    - People who aren't amoral. - Ender Mar 9, 12:16 8
      - the point, I think, is to use the child as a prop to spur controversy. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 9, 12:18 7
        
        I'm doubtful. I don't think anyone was looking to start a controversy here. -- nm - ty97 Mar 9, 12:19 6
        
        hey ty, did CNN say what order of nuns runs the school? -- nm - loosilu Mar 9, 12:22 4
        
        Looks like it's the archdiocese's decision. -- (link) - Ender Mar 9, 12:28 1
        
        Thanks for the details. I admit: I'm surprised by this. -- nm - ty97 Mar 9, 12:31
        
        unsure, I haven't seen/read the story yet -- nm - ty97 Mar 9, 12:25 1
        
        I found the story on CNN. I think it may be a diocesan school. (so no order in particular) -- nm - loosilu Mar 9, 12:28
        
        Exactly. In some places, the public schools are horrible and if you can't afford a private school, the Catholic schools are your best option. -- nm - Jim Mar 9, 12:22
    - God cares, Jim. God cares. You don't think Jesus hung around with sinners, do you? -- nm - TWuG Mar 9, 12:12 1
      - *wry look at the camera, subtle head-shake in disbelief* -- nm - Irony Man! si Mar 9, 12:13
- "I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation..." -- Exodus 20:5 -- nm - znufrii Mar 9, 12:04 2

  - oh sure, find a bible quote to prove your point, what are you a conservative colunist. -- nm - tRuMaN Mar 9, 12:06
- That's how I see it, but sometimes I hear about something like this. Or a priest that won't baptise a child because the parents - loosilu Mar 9, 12:00 10
  - he'd rather fondle the child of course -- nm - Beaker Mar 9, 12:10 1
    - ew, they're babies. -- nm - loosilu Mar 9, 12:16
  - It's the church's prerogative IMO. - Cuzzin Todd Mar 9, 12:07 7
    - I don't believe it's the Church's stance though. (speaking of the Church overall). -- nm - ty97 Mar 9, 12:11
    - it's not that easy to not be Catholic. ;P Anyway, in my experience most priests don't do that stuff. -- nm - loosilu Mar 9, 12:08 3
      - it gets easier the more you practice -- nm - znufrii Mar 9, 12:11
      - Sure it is. I've been doing it for years now. ;) -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Mar 9, 12:09
      - If your church says "Fuck off and die", they can't be that great of a church, can they? -- nm - Beryllium Mar 9, 12:08
    - [deleted] 1
      - I agree the church's stance is reprehensible from a "human" perspective. But hey, that's religion as far as I'm concerned. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Mar 9, 12:10
