Why my family went to Midnight Mass without me
Parents are demanding that Saint John the Baptist, a Catholic parochial school in Orange County, expel the children of gay and lesbian couples.
On a personal note, the first thing that came to mind upon reading this was a story my mom once shared with me. Her mother's father had been a good-for-nothing-piece-of-shit, and after leaving his wife and thier four children, my great-grandmother remarried. But since the Church didn't recognize court sponsored divorce and refused to extend the sacrament of marriage to my great-grandmother and her new husband, my grandmother and her siblings were expelled from their parochial school. I guess I ought to give the Church credit for being so consistent when it comes to playing the role of the crotchetiest reactionaries around.
