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

[Penelope]

Since they're a Catholic and an independent school, they're trying to be welcoming to students of all faiths. People are misunderstanding who the school is because it is run by a Catholic order. But read the article. The school isn't doing anything wrong or against it's own mission statement.

Since they're a Catholic and an independent school, they're trying to be welcoming to students of all faiths.

The Catholic religion is based on traditions of men,
which is bad enough but, there is only One, True Living God,
and the only way to the Father, is through the Son

A school, run by a Catholic order, should be,
welcoming their students to the God and Father of Christ,
and Jesus Christ as their salvation and Savior,
not losing souls and appeasing the enemy for money!

All religions are based on the traditions of men, if not for Rome, you would not have the bible or Christianity.

Pen, the problem with that is, that book is written in a style that is impossible for man to write.

Not just prophecy, but codes that can't be duplicated. And that was done so you would know it was NOT man who authored that book.
You cannot right your pedigree using the same criteria that the Holy Spirit used. A numeric code that can't be duplicated.
None of the writers of the NT conferred with each other to make sure their contribution was in sync with the other's, and yet the book is seamless. What Moses wrote down for the Jews had to be letter perfect to be able to produce the "equal distance lettering" necessary for the Computer code to exist. The Bible Code is phenomenal, and has far surpassed the "coincidental monkey text" comparison.

This isn't scriptural, but because people have found their own genealogies in the Bible/Computer Code, I have a feeling when the Book of Life is opened, it is the very book we set in our laps.

There are no prophecies in the OT or NT. Who were the NT writers?? (We know Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John did't pen them) . When were they wrote? Moses , who was Moses, really? Since the exodus didn't happen as in the OT, we have to wonder about Moses.

There is no code in the Bible. Also no prophecy.

Then you have never picked up a Bible. 1/4 of the book predicts the future. Matthew, Mark, Luke, John and Paul absolutely did write the books of the Bible. I know that because Bill and Sam and Roger can't predict the future.
What John prophesied nearly 2000 years ago, reads like the nightly news.

What John wrote about was as a prisoner. Of course it reads like the nightly news, they had wars abundance back then just like today.

Who was the beast, remember there are 2 beasts and a dragon. Which beast is 666? Mark of the beast. Which beast?

With the exception of Luke, the whole Bible is brought to us by Jews. Rome just created it's own version.

You really think those fishermen wrote the gospels and Luke was a doctor. Think again. Also Judaism was not monotheistic until the return from Babylon when they incorporated Zoroastrianism, which is why there are 2 different genesis stories. Philo is mainly Platonism. Yes you are like Greco-Roman, but then again you protested. Judaism never had virgin births, that was Greece and Rome.

Let me guess, you're an atheist or agnostic?

You think the bible proves God or a specific God or several Gods, it proves men could think and they learned how to draw pictures and then write.

Then by all means, tell me the name of the horse that will win the Kentucky Derby next year. You don't have a clue. Because man can't see the future.
Lets pick 40 people here and tell them to write a chapter. Don't tell them subject matter. Then take all forty chapters, combine them, and see if they are in any way a coherent novel. Then find the viable hidden codes all 40 included and see if the all connect perfectly.
Man is not the author of that book. They penned what the Holy Spirit lead them to pen.

You are right man can't tell the future, and since you do not know the authors of the books , how do you know they did not conspire? Yes men penned the bible , many times. Actually parts of the gospels contradict each other.

The only one I believe was wrote by the author was John, John of Giscala. read about him and get back to me,
John of Giscala - Wikipedia. Then read about Eleazar Ben Simon, Simon bar Giora, and War of the Jews by Josephus.

Contradict or from a different viewpoint? Liberal and Conservatives of today contradict on what the Constitution says. Or is it a different viewpoint?

Didn't say it was about the Constitution. You said parts of the gospels contradict each other. I offered a possibility that it wasn't a contradiction but a different viewpoint based on where those that wrote the gospels happened to be in the whole scheme of things witnessing it. I used the Constitution of an example of how that happens in politics.

You really have a hard time applying principles beyond specific actions.

 

[BulletProof]

KKK were protestants. Remember that!!! Actually the alt right today say they are Christians.

Yes, the KKK were Democrat Party Protestant. What's that got to do with the dumb and embarrassing decision of a Catholic school to purge itself of Catholic practices and even symbols?

 

[BulletProof]

Why do non Catholics attend a Catholic school , because they are exceptional and non judgmental.

The Catholic school in question says 80% of their students are non-Catholic. But, ALL of those students enrolled knowing it's a Catholic school with Catholic statues. So, it's doubtful that any student is offended by those statues. I work in a large Catholic hospital, and I'm not the least bit offended by the Catholic icons (even though I personally disapprove of crucifixes and Mary-worship statues). I wasn't even offended when they gave a prayer at my orientation, after being hired, because I knew it's a Catholic hospital and that's their business.

One of two things is happening. Either the person running the school is a faggot Atheist wanting to de-Catholic the school out of Antichrist and Anticatholic hostility. Or, the person running the school is faggot Atheist interested in appealing to a wider range of potential students, at the cost of the Catholic distinctive, for the money and thus a higher paycheck.

The students go there because the Protestant parents prefer the presumed Christian culture of a Catholic school to a public school (where a first-grader might be sent to the principal for accidentally calling a boy by his boy name when he's transgendering, oh gawd). By secularizing the school, many parents might be looking for a less secular and embarrassing alternative. Whether that happens or not, it's still totally embarrassing to remove the Catholic statues.

A Catholic School removing Catholic icons to avoid giving offense? The Catholic Church has been exceedingly embarrassing in the last few centuries. Now, they're outdoing themselves, with that fruit Francis leading the way.

Perhaps you can show us exactly who this alt-right you all talk about is. Any links to these peeps? We may wanna look for ourselves to check them out to find out who they actually are.

Catholics have decided not to be catholic any more?

Odd that.

Rome created the religion of Christianity to be all inclusive. One must open the door instead of slamming it. It's a good gesture.

I THINK Jesus created the religion called Christianity.

Jesus said: I Am the Way. No man can come to the Father except through Me.

Jesus was NOT "inclusive" in the way you'd like Him to be.

Now stop posting what you don't understand.

No Rome did, and Paul whoever he was. It was created to stop the fighting in Judea and northern Israel. Jesus as the story goes was a Jew and as a Jew? he would not of created a different religion.

The Catholic school in question welcomes all as most Catholic schools.
Inclusivity & Diversity - San Domenico School

It also says many students come from abroad. They are not secularizing the school. They don't secularize the hosp you work in do they,
we would have a problem if they only allowed Catholics in their healthcare system which Ascension is the largest in the US and world.

I would bet most Protestants do not go there, as we are fully aware of what they think of statues of Mary and Crucifixes.

The problem is most of the writers in this thread do not understand the Catholic religion. Protestants come late in the game and put all their faith in the bible, whichever version they read and some are AKJ only. How many Protestant religions are there? Hundreds and they all interpret the bible differently. Catholics also do as well, but I'm a RC who comes from the generation that grew up in the Catholic Church, and was taught via the Baltimore Catechism.

What did we do before the printing press, ask yourself that.

Yes the KKK were and are Protestants and the alt right is a lot like the KKK (pretty much the same ideology, tribal, the leader is an atheist, Richard Spencer.

`
1) As I read this, one ONE Catholic school in California is doing this. Just one.
2) Private schools run by parishes are not under any ecclesiastical jurisdiction by the Cathodic church hierarchy outside of any religion they might teach.
3) While I am not Catholic, I did attend a Jesuit run university that had only a few statues here and there but none in the academic buildings.
4) I send my daughters to a Catholic school because the education there is superior to that of public schools. It has little or no religious icons.
5) Much ado about nothing.

Scholars believe no such thing. All of the Jewish writers would have mentioned the destruction of the Temple, their most important real estate in the world, had they been writing after that incident. All of the writings occurred prior to that event. The Dead Sea Scrolls confirm it. How is it that you believe John wrote during his imprisonment, and on the other hand you think someone else wrote the book later. Pick a lane.
Not only did John "reveal" Christ's return but described where he would return, who would be with him, his appearance, and the reaction of the Jews when He does appear. AND the state of the world when He shows up. Revelation IS the chapter and verse about Christ's return.
And if this all happened already as you believe it has, you shouldn't have to ask who the beasts were. It should be old history. So which beast survived a mortal head wound? Who was he?

Truth is, the beast of the sea is the anti-Christ. The land beast is the false prophet. His job is to make sure that beast #1 is worshiped. Both are yet to be revealed.

Now on to my question.
If, as you believe, that John described what happened in his lifetime, then where is Christ that I may visit Him in His Temple? And if Satan has already been chained, it is an awfully long chain, don't you think? According to your calculations, Christ's millennial reign should have ended by now. How was it?

San Anselmo’s San Domenico School creates stir by removing Catholic statues

We believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth, ... (unless that offends you, in which case, never mind.)

I thought Catholicism was monotheistic? Why are they revering multiple deities?
