A Worcester, Massachusetts bishop banned a school from identifying as Catholic and holding mass or sacraments after refusing to take down Pride and Black Lives Matter flags at his request.

McManus said the Pride flag is inconsistent with Catholic teaching because it "represents support of gay marriage and actively living a LGBTQ+ lifestyle," while the BLM movement "contradicts Catholic social teaching on the importance and role of the nuclear family." The school also cannot sponsor any Mass or sacraments at churches with the Diocese of Worcester and is prevented from holding any fundraiser connected with other institutions within the diocese, McManus' decree said.

Religion is fine taken in moderation.

Good. Catholic Churches already preach that all people are equal - God created every single person in His image, and loves them equally. Jesus loved sinners, but he did NOT condone their sin. He told them to sin no more, and they listened. He didn’t encourage and validate sin. :/

SaysSimonson yin and yang. Hypocrites. God mockers. Public whores, both parties.

The Catholic Church takes centuries to adapt. In 1615 Galileo was tried by the Roman Inquisition for his views on heliocentrism and spent the rest of his life under house arrest (lucky him). He was rehabilitated in the 1960s, more than 300 years later.

Thank you to this Bishop for saving these children from his flawed interpretation of Jesus. Jesus is love and strength. The small and fearful Bishop seems to have forgotten this.

Sounds like PROGRESS!

Because Jesus didn’t teach us that we should love others like ourselves … Pontifex Please protect the church from these revengeful and intolerant bischops

The bloody Catholic Church, of course!

There already a black sheep in the fold sand MA bishop hasn’t embraced inclusivity.

❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🖤🤍🤎

😢💔

P e d o in a dress

The bishop who has a DUI and is being sued for sexual something or other.

Very Christian of him.

Become protestant, ignore the Bishop.

so where does that leave Biden?

Anyone wanna bet that this bishop voted for Trump.

Good. DeoGratias

Just another sign that the Catholic church is a source of evangelical hate, and the least Christian of all the religions.

The Catholic Church is making a big mistake for making the school take the flags down. Another black-eye for the church in the history books.

MRothmanPetArt Every kid in the parish-'High Five!'.

I wonder how many young boys he molested!

Yes I'm catholic. Yes I go to church almost every Sunday. But I go not to hear the priest but to give thanks to God for the week. Priests are just about the money & power. And I wouldn't trust them around my boys.

Amen!

This is against Pope's position. Something very wrong with many US Catholic sects. Extreme conservative People of Praise Catholic cult member Amy Coney-Barrett is actual 'handmaiden'. Now installed on SCOTUS as least qualified & promotes trafficking 'Domestic supply of infants'

BLM?!

How many child rapists did this dude shift around?

Queen takes Bishop.

Im not seeing this as a loss to anyone but the church. They arent doing so well now that we all know they are gay and not because thats bad but they are gay pedophiles so yea, no one should be interested in taking hints about God from guys like this anyway.

ZaleskiLuke Dam right! Catholic is just for pedophiles.

And this bishop would molest a kid given the chance---The Child Molestation Religion!!

Good for my city to stand on their ground! Screw him!

ZaleskiLuke Hypocrisy at its finest

Christianity is stupid.

Shame shame on him.

Good

Cool hat, bruh.

The morality of the Catholic church at its finest

LETS GOOOOOO

If the Catholic Church wants to get into Politics they need to pay TAXES!

I am a recovering catholic and church mgmt in ball gowns hastened the decision

More validation of my decision to be a nonpracticing Catholic.

And besides kid abuse the church is wondering why the people are leaving it in droves

What a relief.

The Catholic Church can't help themselves

SaysSimonson Excellent. The Church needs to stand up to terrorists, dividers, and degenerates.

Catholics priest have a problem with LGBTQ peoples. They prefer to support their sex with minor children instead 🙄

Ask me again why I am an ex-Catholic and an atheist.

Seems to have the right to do that. Be something else than Catholic. Can't be both...

Bishop says school no longer Catholic after flying Black Lives Matter, Pride flagsA bishop has declared that a central Massachusetts school 'may no longer identify itself as Catholic' because it refuses to remove Black Lives Matter and Pride flags it began flying on campus last year. And that exemplifies why I'm not catholic anymore It’s easy, if you want to teach children to accept what Catholics consider to be mortal sins, you should not call yourself a Catholic school! If parents want their kids exposed to Trans Story hour they can send them to the government school. Because equality is something jesus was like “fuck no, we don’t want that shit”
