Stupid Catholic Tricks, January '05 Edition

At St. John the Baptist School in Costa Mesa, California, some parents are up in arms over the enrollment of two kindergarten pupils. They are screaming to high heavens (you should excuse the expression) that these menaces to Holy Mother Church must be removed. Or else they will remove their own children. And/or appeal to the Vatican, to boot.

And what danger do these small children present? Do they carry the Ebola virus? Have they been diagnosed, at this tender age, as psychotic killers? Are they, perhaps, evangelical Satanists?

Worse, my friends, far worse.

Their parents are a gay male couple.

OK, class, let's review. If adults do something of which you do not approve, the Christian response is to deny their children an education.
????????????????????????????????
And if we can't do that -- hey, let's deny our OWN children an education!!!
Pitchforks & torches, anyone?

The pastor, God love him, refused comment except to say that the important thing here is the children's education.

And we wonder why anti-Catholicism is the last "acceptable" prejudice.

Hey, why not deny their own children an education? They're already denying them so much: decency, reason, charity...
