"Most of the protesters stood silently, across the street, holding signs. One read "God loves all people............"
Now the world is dictating to believers God's love in the name of tolerance, acceptance and A horrendous understanding of theology. Wasn't the purpose of creating private schools to separate from the worldly mess? Now the world wants to move in on our turf and dictate their lack of morality yet we Christians get demonized when we do it to the world? When we do it it's called bigoted, self righteous, judgmental but when the world does it is is called tolerance and acceptance.
Actually I think the child would be happier in the public school system where religion is not introduced into the curriculum. I hope the the parents' motive for attempting to register the child in the school was not to use the child to try to stir up trouble for the school because of its being a religious organization that teaches against homosecuality.
Got news for you the people are the Church, the hierarchy is suppose to serve the people not the other way around.
When the Church teaches something wrong it should change, just as it did with slavery, it was a shame it took almost 2000 years.
You're wrong Ted. The church should not change it's teaches to a liberal view point. The church has always hold that gay is a sin, and will always. The Church must remain steady in it's teaching.

But that's just isn't so, the Church has not always remained steady in its teachings, even though the people in your camp would like to think so.
Dissentt! It is not a nice word. It makes you think of other "dis" words like disagreement, dissension, disobedience, and disgrace.
In the end the school can do what they wish. Just as the protesters can do what they wish (as long as it is legal).
What I find so fascinating about the story is the ability of the Catholic Church in Boulder to COMPLETELY fumble the decision and call unwanted attention (world wide attention mind you) to it. I mean if there were ever a business case on how NOT to handle a situation from a public relations standpoint.. this would be it.
As it stands it looks like there is a Catholic school in Boulder that doesn't care.. about a pre-schooler.
They could have done a number of things to rectify the situation. They could have politely waited till the end of the school year (about 2 months away) and then could have shown a good faith effort in working with another pre-school in the area to get the child admitted. Even if that effort had failed it would have at least shown the SLIGHTEST bit that they care about the child.
I see this more as a public relations FAIL than anything else.
Well Oakback did have a point there could be a little fishyness going on, but I don't think that is a bad thing to want to bring the conversation out into the open.
To many Catholics sit in church with their heads bent low because they don't want to see the elephant sitting in the corner of the church.
They are of the opinion that if it does not effect them personally, they don't care. http://www.elephantsinthelivingroom....n_Sequitor.gif
