Catholic school in California is removing statues of Mary and Jesus in order to be "inclusive"

[The Irish Ram]

Remove Jesus from a Catholic school and what you have left is a school. Find a school that keeps Christ front and center.

Remove Jesus from a Catholic school and what you have left is a school. Find a school that keeps Christ front and center.

So you are A ok with statues of Mary and Jesus, good to know. All Catholic schools take non Catholics, and non Catholics go to them because of their superior educational status.

`
Not really. Faith is installed in a child at home, not at school. Even in diocesan K-8 schools run by nuns, the emphasis is on education of the mind. You can teach a child to mindlessly memorize biblical verses or you can teach by example, but that starts at home. Pictures and other religious icons do not install in a child, virtues that parents are obligated teach.

Good people send their children to public schools, which are completely devoid of any religious icons but most of these same children grow up to be successful adults. The argument that the lack of religious statuary or other such images, affects a child's moral conduct, is not based on fact but fear.

Absolutely A ok with the statues. Offended by them? Find a different school. They are there for a reason, and you should not be able to change that because of your tender sensibilities.
This is an attack on religion, not a school..

Me, not at all, I'm a cradle Catholic, I'm use to them.

As you see, once this charlatan has been called out, he resorts to insults. Pathetic but a real view of a person consumed by their own self-righteous morality. I don't claim to be right but I do recognize evil when I see it.

I told you, shit or get off the pot!

YOU haven't called me out on anything,
Penelope did and I acknowledged that...
not because I'm self righteous, because I can admit I'm wrong

Our initial exchange was the result of
my statements regarding the Catholic religion,

Your opinion is that Scripture isn't,
'that's it, that's all' for salvation and a Godly life
My opinion is that it is

I am not evil, you are on bullshit

Bring it

I'm sorry but I have to disagree in part. It should be a parents obligation to teach their children religious virtues. It is also an intricate part of churches, schools, hospitals..
If an icon was important enough for Muslim Obama to insist they remove crosses at Notre Dame so as not to offend him, then the icons carry meaning. It is a Catholic school. Pictures and other religious icons are to be expected. To say to a Catholic school, "We are not Catholic, but you have the superior education, so we want you to start doing things our way, so keep the education, and remove anything I disagree with." is ridiculous.
Want to go to Notre Dame when you graduate because you want to play football? You will encounter crosses. BE FORE-WARNED.
The sad thing is we have no problem promoting all things anti religious and American in our schools. This is just one more step..

Exactly!

Then they should expect to see statues, pictures, crosses...
why should the school remove them?

Accepting non Catholics is already inclusive in itself, no
Removing items, to appease the non belief of others
is ridiculous...they are a private school
run by a Catholic order, enough said, no surprise there

I'm not going to disagree with your opinion because it is, of course, your opinion. I've never actually concerned myself with such things as I've sought education for myself and children through schools with high academic standards. However, those people of extraordinarily firm convictions in their particular faith look for items of religious nature in choosing their place of education. It's just a matter of taste, not fact.

As there is no one here that represents the Magisterium of the Catholic church, which is the final authority on this issue, I have to see things here as just a disagreement of opinions. Nothing more, nothing less.

I believe you meant 'instilled'...Anyhoo

I agree it starts at home but, I disagree that its faith.

I don't think faith can be instilled in children

Doesn't it only make sense,
that parents who are practicing Catholics,
and can afford to send their child/ren, to parochial schools,
do so, not only for academic reasons but,
to nurture the beliefs established in the home?

I went to Catholic schools.
In elementary school, religion class,
was part of the daily curriculum.

We were taught the stations of the cross,
the sacraments, Our Father, Apostles Creed, Hail Mary
whose who in the Bible, the patron Saints,
palm Sunday, Ash Wednesday, lent, Christmas, Easter
Baptism, Communion, Confirmation, confession,
mortal sin, the Ten Commandments, books of the Bible,
how to pray the rosary, I was being taught to be Catholic

You can educate the mind with religion,
as well as, reading, writing and arithmetic

Speaking of nuns...what's next,
nuns will be required to wear
'inclusive' clothing and ditch the habits?

Your derogatory opinion is duly noted!

As there is no one here that represents the Magisterium of the Catholic church, which is the final authority on this issue,

Yep, I knew it

You claim my opinions are wrong
nothing I state is fact and I live in a fantasy world
because I believe Scripture is Gods Word,
divinely inspired and written by men He chose,
and that Gods Word contains all knowledge necessary

You, however, believe the doctrines of a religion
that gave men authority to elaborate and expand on
Scripture, Gods Word, to establish their own teachings,
and a doctrine of infallibility that states
the teachings, set forth by the counsel(pope, bishops)
and required of the church(members, flock)
to adhere to and accept as the correct and true teachings,
of the faith and are infallible...or face ex communication

Extraordinarily firm convictions

God IS sufficient!

He was, is and always will be,
the Alpha & the Omega...the Beginning & the End

He had, has and will always have,
the final Authority on every issue....
especially when it comes to perverting His Word!

Please, I beg you, defend the hypocritical,
self serving, pedophile protecting, self righteous,
we know better then God, without works, Catholic religion!

 

[Penelope]

I will defend the Catholic religion as the one holy catholic and apostolic church. Catholic means universal. Of course I do not condone the turning of the eye to pedophilia of some members of church,

but I do not want to go to a church where a preacher elaborates on a verse for a whole hour, what they think it means, their opinion.

Statues never bothered me, they had no influence on me, either way, I do like stained glass windows of a Cathedral and the architect , but today the newer churches are quite plain. Also many nuns wear street clothes today. They also have altar girls. So much has changed since Vatican II.

Have you ever seen the rotunda of the capital.

you can read about it here; The Apotheosis of Washington - Wikipedia
(all Romans Gods) and Washington's ascension, Washington becoming a God.

You can't take Rome out of the US, even the statue of liberty is a Roman Goddess, Libertas.

No, you'd rather spend an hour standing, shaking hands,
peace be with you, kneel, recite the Apostles Creed,
which is NO WHERE in the Bible, sit down, listen to
who died, got married, is in the hospital,
whose getting baptized, upcoming church events,

stand back up, sit back down, listen to Joe Shmoe
do a reading from the book of....

listen to more somber organ music
watch the priest as he prepares to take the podium
listen to him read xxx amount of Scripture verses

listen to organ music while communion is prepared,
this is the body of Christ,which has been given up for
turns to face the alter, break the Eucharist,
place it on a tray, wait as an alter boy pours wine
into a goblet, this is the cup of my blood,
of a new and ever lasting covenant, do this in memory of me
takes a swig, pauses, unfolds a cloth, wipes the rim

get in line, wait for everyone to sit back down,
kneel, recite the hail Mary, while focusing on her statue
sit back down, bring out the tithing baskets,
wait til they've gone up and down every row,
put the collections in baskets, bring them up to the alter,
blah blah blah...

You spend one hour following traditions of a religion
reciting prayers found no where in Scripture,
and fed Gods Word for 20 min, if that
accompanied by no further dialogue of sustenance

You don't want to listen to opinions for an hour...
you'd rather participate in the traditions of men

What makes you an authority pertaining to the truth
being that you align yourself with a religion
that establishes its own teachings, laws and requirements,
whether by adding, omitting or changing, Gods Word.

Men have decided that God's Word isn't sufficient
and Christ crucified, His sacrifice, wasn't enough

Statues never bothered me, they had no influence on me,

Of course they wouldn't bother you...
The Catechism of the Catholic Church
removed 1(#2) of the 10 commandments,
regarding graven images, idolatry,
moved the rest up and took the 10th commandment
split it in 2, to make up for the commandment they took out

Furthermore, Sunday is not the true Sabbath Day of rest,
Saturday is, but, the papal council felt otherwise...

You follow a religion that places themselves above God
and traditions they've sold you, as a ticket to heaven

Verily, verily, Many will come to me in that day
and I will say to them, depart from me,
you who practiced lawlessness, I never knew you

Gee I have no idea where to start. The priests does not face the altar anymore, he faces the people, and yes we do go to worship and hear scriptures from the OT and NT and the Priests give a short sermon concerning them. Yes Holy Communion is the major part of the service.

And also we do not follow the OT commandments. We have a new set of commandments in the NT. Are you a Jew who practices Judaism, they actually have 613 commandments so I've read.
The RCC second commandment is
Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain (swearing like God Dam it) but then God has no name that we know of.
All religions are traditions of men.
All religion are man made and the bible was wrote by men, and most of it is Greco-Roman. Do you understand the Hebrews were not monotheistic till the return from Babylon.

PS: no I do not have 2 user names, but I respond when someone blasts the RCC because they do not understand or appreciate the fact that they brought you the bible that you read today and due to the RCC they have protected Christianity from inception when they made it the empires religion.

PSS: Sunday is the day of worship, not Sat unless you are a Jew, Friday for most Muslims.

Wow, I don't know whether to start over
or make it brief,

yes we do go to worship and hear scriptures from the OT and NT and the Priests give a short sermon concerning them.

but I do not want to go to a church where a preacher elaborates on a verse for a whole hour, what they think it means, their opinion.

So, what you're saying is, only priests are qualified
to elaborate or teach Gods Word,
which is also, according to the opinion of the RCC

More time is spent at a Catholic mass honoring
the traditions of a ceremony, created by men,
then Worshipping God or feeding the flock!

Yes Holy Communion is the major part of the service.

Of course it is...so much for the RCC being inclusive

Communion is exclusively for baptized Catholics
and a condition for salvation

Yep, Christ crucified and resurrected wasn't sufficient
and Almighty God, that created heaven and earth,
and everything above, below, within and all living things
is incompetent because Gods Word is incomplete and inaccurate

You are trusting men, who have perverted Gods Word
and placed their teachings, laws, conditions and practices
as being a higher authority then God, Himself, for salvation....
Good luck with that!

And also we do not follow the OT commandments. We have a new set of commandments in the NT.

You have a new set of commandments according to the RCC

Jesus gave a new commandment,
He didn't issue a new set of commandments

The RCC second commandment is
Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain

That is NOT the second commandment in the OT
that He gave to Moses, that is the RCC rearranging shit,
so they can have all there statues and idols to worship!

They will remove religious statues and icons
so people who don't believe in Christ and His God and Father
aren't offended and will pay good money
to send their children to there school,
but, not because God commanded no graven images!

Furthermore, the commandment Jesus gave us,
in the NT, became the 2nd commandment,
which makes it 11, not 10 commandments

God has no name that we know of.

Wow...really!

Your real name must be human being

PSS: Sunday is the day of worship, not Sat

Yeah, after the RCC changed it from Saturday to Sunday
because they consider themselves a god, above Almighty God

So Noahs Ark is real history and by Creationist , I mean everything that goes with it, Adam and Eve, the tree of knowledge, the snake.

Prove Adam and Eve, and leave the bible out of it.

then Worshipping God or feeding the flock!

Yes Holy Communion is the major part of the service.

Of course it is...so much for the RCC being inclusive

Communion is exclusively for baptized Catholics
and a condition for salvation

Yep, Christ crucified and resurrected wasn't sufficient
and Almighty God, that created heaven and earth,
and everything above, below, within and all living things
is incompetent because Gods Word is incomplete and inaccurate

You are trusting men, who have perverted Gods Word
and placed their teachings, laws, conditions and practices
as being a higher authority then God, Himself, for salvation....
Good luck with that!

And also we do not follow the OT commandments. We have a new set of commandments in the NT.

You have a new set of commandments according to the RCC

Jesus gave a new commandment,
He didn't issue a new set of commandments

The RCC second commandment is
Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain

That is NOT the second commandment in the OT
that He gave to Moses, that is the RCC rearranging shit,
so they can have all there statues and idols to worship!

They will remove religious statues and icons
so people who don't believe in Christ and His God and Father
aren't offended and will pay good money
to send their children to there school,
but, not because God commanded no graven images!

Furthermore, the commandment Jesus gave us,
in the NT, became the 2nd commandment,
which makes it 11, not 10 commandments

God has no name that we know of.

Wow...really!

Your real name must be human being

PSS: Sunday is the day of worship, not Sat

Yeah, after the RCC changed it from Saturday to Sunday
because they consider themselves a god, above Almighty God

You can become a Jew is you want. I will remain a RC , by the way the RCC has Mass everyday.

Also RC's do not worship statues.

Yes the second commandment is important because its what comes out of the mouth that defiles a man.

Catholic religion is an anti-Christian cult just like Mormonism, Islam, Hare Krishna, etc etc.
