This has to be fake. Apparently not, I think it is true. http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2017/aug/25/calif-catholic-school-removes-alienating-religious/

The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy | |

I'm pretty sure it's been decades since anyone accused the Dominican Sisters of San Raphael of being orthodox. |

And, as a brief aside....My daughter's husband is old-time, conservative Catholic. He and I don't always see eye to eye on matters theological, but he certainly has faith. In today's world, I find that refreshing... |

HOLY CARP!!!

Jolly, can you give us an idea of the sorts of things you and he don't agree on theologically? My sister in law is a Bible literalist, but I'm not sure how that actually plays out in her world view. I've never dared discuss religion with her. |

I do not see how anyone could be offended at St. Francis. He's my favorite saint, and I'm not even Catholic. |

Mmmmmmm, pie!

My wife is Catholic. She understands some of the problems I have with Catholicism, and it's never been a problem between us, because as Jolly pointed out, her faith in God is strong and deep. The little things where we differ are so trivial that it's just never a problem. |

I had you down as more of a follower of Benedict, or possibly Saint Remy. |

St. Remy Martin, sure. Bought a bottle of his holy water today too. I have been without the spirit too long.

Probably the major difference is on the Priesthood of the Believer. Baptists believe there is no intercessory between man and his God. We differ on Purgatory. Baptists believe that the Bible is the final and only spiritual authority. Catholics have different categories of sins, Baptists do not. But Catholics believe in the Trinity, in the sanctity of Jesus and that He lived fully as man and as God, dying on the cross for the salvation of mankind. Just as do Baptists. |

I'm wondering if they are doing that because enrollment is low. But as on parent said, "They’re trying to be something for everyone and they’re making no one happy.” |

Can we momentarily revert to our middle-school selves and discuss the name of the school trustee?
