Catholics are taught to love one another
As Catholics, graduates of local Catholic schools, and now as the parents of a kindergartner in Catholic school, we were deeply saddened and troubled to read about the Denver Archdiocese’s decision to decline re-enrollment to two children of a lesbian couple at the Sacred Heart of Jesus parochial school in Boulder, Colorado.
The Denver Archdiocese’s decision conflicts with the basic tenants of the Catholic education we received, where, first and foremost, we were taught to love one another.
The Denver Archdiocese’s decision is directed at two children, ages three and five. We, the people of the church, called upon to be the living body of Christ, must ask how Jesus would want us to proceed. We cannot fathom that he would turn his back on these children. Jesus admonished his own disciples who sought to turn away children, saying, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.”
We commend the bravery of the staff and families of Sacred Heart of Jesus who have spoken out against this injustice. Our hope is that these acts in Colorado will lead to increased dialogue among Catholics nationally, and ultimately be a catalyst for change. While the Seattle Archdiocese has not publicly responded to the expulsion of these children, we hope and pray that children in our community, and their families, continue to be welcomed into the church and our Catholic schools in the true spirit of Catholicism and love.

JoeGlandWanker would say some nonsense about "god's law" then switch back to his twink porn so he can finish off before his mom comes home from church.
