That they are inferior and not worthy, because of something they themselves have no control over. That it’s more about politics than it is about the person. The Jesus portrayed in the Bible would not have rejected this child because of that. Yet again, we have another example of the hypocrisy of this church, where archaic dogma flies in the face of what the religion is supposed to stand for.
The kids parents punished the kid. The kid is just stuck with the consequences.

What the kid is stuck with is the ignorance of this school. And that's a shame.

I agree. And I hope the parents find a good one for him. One that teaches tolerance and acceptance.

In the end, it was merciful for the school to deny admission. No child should be subjected to an environment that would question the legitimacy of his family on a daily basis. That is simply cruelty.

One that teaches the core subjects of academia is all I care he finds.

Its about learning subject matter, not SJW dogma.

Reading, Writing, Math, Science, etc.

I do agree with that. It's just a shame that he can't attend what I'm assuming his parents think is a good school, because they are gay. I wish they were as single minded as you are about wanting to give the child a good education and not allow their dogma to get in the way.

Why would a family who aren't catholic want to send their kids to catholic schools where the catholic religion is taught. Plus, they attend mass a lot.

I agree. The only thing I can think of is that the education the child would get would be superior to what other schools could offer. But personally, I'd take my chances, lol.

Doctrine has never changed nor will ever change since it's based on Christ's words.
