Catholic School Board Committee Approves Pro-Gay Manual, Does Not Teach Homosexual Acts Sinful
Our take - the local Bishop must move to protect the Catholicity of the institutions under his authority for the sake of the good and honest Catholic families that send their children to "Catholic" schools. If this moral decay is allowed to progress in Catholic schools, eventually there will not be any. We already are seeing a generation of religious illiterates as a result of failed religious education programs. This incident is a direct result of the secularization of religion.
Director of the Board says, "differences of opinion in areas like theology, faith, and morals" is "natural and healthy for a living, dynamic Church"

WATERLOO, Ontario, November 2, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The Family Life Advisory Committee (FLAC) of the Waterloo Catholic District School Board (WCDSB) met last night to consider objections to a pro-homosexual teacher resource manual which were raised by the local group Defend Traditional Marriage and Family (DTMF). Despite a petition signed by nearly 500 Catholic parents opposing the book, FLAC decided to retain "Open Minds to Equality" in an 11-5 vote.
Page 16 of the book states: "The heterosexism in our society fosters homophobia, the fear and hatred of homosexuality which is grounded in prejudice and stereotyping." The book provides role play and group activities which train children into viewing the homosexual lifestyle as normal and natural.
Of note, at the meeting one of the members, asked if students in the Catholic schools of the board are taught "that homosexual acts" are sinful. The response from the board was "no."

Since we posted this, there have been some visitors who were interested enough in this story to swing by, members of The Waterloo Catholic District School Board. Welcome to our site! We have a question for you - Why do you take a position of responsibility in a Catholic institution of you have no interest in teaching young people the Catholic faith? Wouldn't that be a bit like taking a position at Molson Beer and changing it to taste like Labatt's? That would be fine as long as you changed the label and complied with truth-in-advertising. To do what you're doing is just plain deceitful.
