By Deanna Paul Deanna Paul Reporter covering national and breaking news Email Bio Follow March 7 at 11:55 AM A Catholic school in Kansas refused to admit a same-sex couple’s kindergarten-aged child. Now, more than 1,000 people are protesting the decision and urging the church to change its mind.
The Archdiocese of Kansas City believed children of same-sex couples, and their potential classmates, would be exposed to “a source of confusion” and, as a result, advised against enrolling the kindergartner, Maxim said.Maxim’s congregants circulated a petition to neighboring Catholics in protest of the decision; as of Wednesday, it had more than 1,000 signatories, the Kansas City Star reported. They also sent a letter to Archbishop Joseph Naumann and St.
A Private school can descrimate. That is why people send their kids to private schools.
I don't know how cruelty to a child represents Christianity. This is a horrendous decision.
Online hundreds? Quick alert the WaPo editorial staff. It’s time for the collective action of the internet to shame them into going against their beliefs and bully them into abandoning their right to uphold them.
I went to a catholic school. There not missing anything.
between the homosexual couple and VATICAN Catholics are the same family, it does not change anything. They are anti-education of Jesus Christ. 2019. They will be destroyed by the voice of God. Holy Bible
I’m a Catholic and I say get rid of who ever made that horrible decision Disgraceful
Catholic Church still has avacado appliances and a station wagon.
To be clear, the child is not the 'couple's' child. She is the child of one of the adults. The other adult is the unrelated person who is copulating with the child's mother in a sinful way. So teach the kid -- and her classmates -- this important truth about what a family is.
But they let priests rape children.
Same sex couples cannot produce children, must be adopted ones.
Private schools make their own rules, good luck with that.
This is one of the biggest reasons why I have absolutely no respect for the catholic religion. God says to love all, not just the ones you want. Shame on them and everyone that believes hate belongs anywhere.
Why would a same-sex couple enroll their kid in a school that stands by a clearly homophobic dogma?!? Makes no sense to me.
Not surprising
Coincidentally-WaPo is being sued BIGTIME by a Catholic School kid for slander. They need time to indoctrinate and poison the future jury pool. More antiCatholic school stories to come. Get ready MINIONS-you’ll be tasked to hate Catholic Schools as much as Trump!
They should consult a pedophile priest for his view.
While you’re at it, have a look into the LDSchurch for not allowing children of same-sex couples to be baptized. (Note: children of murderers, rapists, etc can be baptized)
Religions have the right to their believes. Move on
good, maybe those folks will leave the church and its destruction behind.

But our catholic church should see that whatever kind of couple the parents choose to be it's not the child's fault. I am catholic and I feel the child should be able to attend. Don't blame a child he has no fault

Matthew 19:14 King James Version (KJV) 14 But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.
Did the couple attend church regularly..did they participate in parish activities did they recieve thier sacraments? Is this 'Couple' married legally? One main reason that same sex marraige laws passed was that although government will recognize it Religions were not forced to
THAT. That is what made me non-practicing. The Church is non-practicing.
So much for Christianity.
The bigger question that should be asked here is why this couple would intentionally subject their child to an historically tone deaf institution of bigotry, racism, sexism, pedophilia and homophobia. Surely there are other options available?
Love is better no matter how it comes.
I'm going to make this clear again. I am a lifetime Republicam Conservative. No. Im not no Sunday Church goer but I have always believed in God & that he does exist & I have read the entire Original Holy Bible 5 different times & I know what God Hates!!!
WaPo’s answer for being sued by Catholic’s rebelling bc WaPo feels they can slander Catholics who celebrate “Right to Life” weekend that happen to wear MAGA hats. It worked on Trump-now let’s see if WaPo can get the mindless minions to hate Catholics who exercise 1st Amendment
Lawsuit barrage?
What part of catholic school do you people npt get? Private institution with thier own rules. GO TO ANOTHER SCHOOL.
Samesex marriages SHOULD OF NEVER BEEN ALLOWED IN THE 1ST PLACE!! But when Uhave Democrat Liberals in Full power like4the last 8 years thats why this Abominal Sh*t started & was allowed Democrat Liberals IS OUT 2 DESTROY THE GODLY MORALS of the United States
Question: If the President of an lgbtq organization “got” religion and became opposed to many of their views, would they have the right to ask the person to step down? They make their “membership” rules, right? So, why can’t this church?
they should considered them to be lucky Child could turn into another Covington child of the damned isurvivedparochialschool
Albeit unpleasant and beyond, they have a right to choose who attends their school. It isn’t a public school.
Well, they have that right. They are a private school. They can choose not to allow someone in who violates their religious beliefs.
Ridiculous... WTH are they to 'cast judgement' ! The Catholic church has so much BS going on w/ they're scandals! THE AUDACITY! NO ONE SHOULD PLACE THEIR KIDS IN A CATHOLIC NOTHING!
Oh because they r so perfect they only employ child abusers wearing collars!!! OH THE HYPOCRISY!!🔥🔥🔥
Let the Catholic Church work on changing its values one at a time. They are currently working on their pederasty addiction.
The hypocrisy- the Catholic church has played hide the pedophile priest for centuries and damaged thousands of kids, yet they still demand the moral high ground.
Freedom of religion allows them to do whatever they want and you cannot force a religion to change because you consider them out of touch.
religious freedom only applies to muslims and jews
You've not helped to debase the Catholic Church enough?
Catholicism 2019: “We won’t educate your children but we allow our priests to abuse them then cover it up”.
I think the school is theologically wrong for this, but as a parent I sure as hell wouldn't want my kid there NOW.
Doesn’t meet the morals of what Catholicism teaches. Back in the 60’s children whose parents were divorced had a difficult time getting in. Religious freedom means you cannot force social mores on Orthodoxy! 1st Amendment for a reason.
So the rage mob gets to override religion’s belief systems? We’re in a really bad place.
catholic bible leviticus
Thou shalt not judge........
Not surprising. Why would they want to enroll their child in such a despicable institution?
Because that's what jesus would do. They continue to ignore jesus's words Shameful
Maybe if it was a pedophyle it was ok for them my God what a bunch of sick people the catholic church have
Well i hope the allegedly catholic homosexuals are happy with all the anti catholic hate they have created with the help of the non catholic media noncatholic politicions and noncatholic lawyers looking for paydays...
Frckng hypocrites!! Get away from this cult!
Modern day Pharisees who are not so modern consider the suffering you cause.
And miss the opportunity to teach the child how evil his parents are? What are they thinking?
Oh look, all of the atheists have become theologians again...
They are just begging for the remaining people to walk like I did
Good, don’t send your kid to that nightmare of a backward ritualistic cult factory.
I thought God was merciful.
Very sad
Close the school. This type of discrimination in education is obscene.
Hypocrisy 🤬🤬🤬🤬
Sounds like both parties have an axe to grind. Why would you send your child to a school that condemned your lifestyle?Why would you punish a child for the sins of the parent?
Surprising really you would have thought the Catholic Church would welcome more children to widen the pool for all their paedophiles. Cannot help this reply. This institution can be so closed minded and dogmatic on this but ignore widespread paedophillia for decades. Disgrace.
Why do people STILL send their kids into this cauldron of disgust?
So hypocritical.
Wrong? Without a doubt. Trust me, you don't want to send your child there anway. Find a Waldorf/Steiner school if you want to raise a happy, well-adjusted person.
Catholicism is nothing more than a cult. Stop urging cults to do the right thing and simply do the right thing yourselves: reject cultism.
Hypocrites
And this, boys and girls, is why we need to invest in PUBLIC education.
If the Couple were catholic they wouldnt be trying to drag the Catholic church through the mud. The church believes Homosexuality promiscuity marrital infidelity are sins...if you dont believe that you arent a catholic become jewish or muslim.or keep your sin between you and God
BenjaAnaya Any religious institution, organization, school, club that receives any sort of tax break or tax exemption status should lose it when they refuse to accept others on the basis of gender identification, race, sexual orientation, ethnicity, and such. Enough state-sponsored bigotry!
catholic schools should be the last folks on earth restricting anything, finish cleaning house of all your rapey priests before you past judgment..
Don’t enroll them. Ignore the mob. The schools principles are what made it attractive to those parents, don’t drop them
This is very sad, but I can say that I am in no way surprised by this. That school should be shut down
Why would any parent want their child go somewhere they aren’t wanted? Especially someplace that LOVES everyone as themselves. So hypocritical. Find a great school that accepts all.
This school is not very 'Christ-like' and reinforces the evil side of reiligion that excludes others in a bigoted manner. Shameful!
I wonder if the parents already knew this would be an issue and did it anyway to create a stir. You know what the Catholic Church stand is on same sex relationships. Why would you even want your child to learn from that institution?
Am not religious but this comes to mind when it comes to the catholic church right now with your current scandals! 'Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?''
Why would anyone want to send their child to a Catholic school? Perverted, discriminatory, truly twisted people teaching children!?
The Catholic Church needs to wake up and realize it's 2019 not the Dark Ages anymore!
I suppose a same-sex couple won't be producing as many innocent off-spring CHILDREN to satisfy and reward their own same-sex priests' lusts. We cannot have that--women as broodmare--the catholic way.
It’s wrong and discriminatory. But why would this couple want to send their kid here anyway, knowing the staff would hate their child and the students would bully them? I’d find a more accepting school - and a new religion.
Makes sense.
Propaganda piece designed to create hate. Probably a made up story after all the other ones we have seen
So much for Love thy neighbor as thy self
How about a Catholic charity ending adoption services to avoid lawsuits, because they don’t want same sex couples to adopt a child. ccbuffalo BuffaloDiocese
Look it is a catholic school. They have right to govern by their customs too. I say why go to such religious school? Boycott them. They'll change on their own if they want to. I'm sure there must be many more open and modern schools.
Pedophiles rejecting children?
The problem is that this school is Catholic, however, not Christian! Interesting that they don't reject children based on the inappropriate behavior of heterosexual couples! Hypocrites! I feel certain that Jesus would have punished the children as well!
It’s like a Christian parent demanding to enroll their kid to a Muslim school and demand pork served for lunch
I guess they skipped the red section that says “Let the little children come to me...”
Probably they just like to rape kids from “natural families”.
Note to the same sex couple... this is a 'blessing in disguise' -
One of my issues with the church was always that many of its teachings made no sense. How does it make sense to deny a child a religious education?
LGBTQ Activists Enraged Trump Served Chick-Fil-A To Football Champions. Guess what they’d do to a school. LGBTQ activism is always accompanied by enragement
There is no such a thing like 'same-sex couple child'.
