I go from -"that's stupid" to "aww hell no" the second I find out the school accepts even a single dollar of taxpayer money.

They're listed as a registered nonpublic school by NJ's Dept of Ed, which also notes (on the page I found that first link on), "Nonpublic schools are eligible to receive services for their students through several state and federal programs,", plus that page has information on applying for grants to pay teachers and money for COVID related expenses, so, yeah, they're almost certainly receiving a couple of taxpayer dollars

"Roman Catholic school".

The leopards eating faces religion...

Catholics only recognize one means of conception and that's being raped by the Holy Spirit while still a minor. Anything else would just be wrong.

Last I checked incest was still fair game? Am I that out of touch?

Also ordained priests with underage boys. It's still in it's experimental phase, but they're pretty sure it's gonna work

Now if her partner was underage she might have a shot.

[-] jerome@kbin.social 8 points 1 year ago

Sad and very true.

Bodily autocracy crowd strikes again. Religion has no place in educational institutions beyond teaching aspiring grifters -- I mean preachers -- how to run the con. Get them out of running hospitals too, that's just another avenue for tightening their grip on the vulnerable.

weird how they punish this but I've seen estimates that up to 30% catholic clergy are pedophiles. I guess its not okay or forgiveable for people to be having consenting sex as adults. Let the church that is without sin cast the first stone.

I don't understand, if they must obey Catholic law, they have confession and all that to forgive sins don't they? Nothing about getting fired as a teacher for sinning in their rule book is there?

welcome to the bible, where everything is made up and the rules don't matter

Didn't realize fornicators were cast out of the Church altogether.

[-] GrayBackgroundMusic@lemm.ee 13 points 1 year ago

Not very "love your neighbor as yourself" of them.

Not very "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone" of them.

[-] NickwithaC@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

You think they've ever sat down a read that thing?

Technically we're not allowed to go to the bathroom.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
