Toronto, Ontario, March 22, 2011 – the Toronto Catholic School Board, the largest in Canada, opened a workshop to develop their policy on equity and inclusive education earlier this year with a PRAYER calling the homosexual inclination a “MANIFESTATION OF GOD’S GOODNESS.” The revelation has Catholic parents calling foul and pleading for the bishops of Ontario to have another look at the equity policy.

The prayer read at the January 24th meeting, asked Christ to “GIVE US ALL THE GRACE TO OWN OUR SEXUAL IDENTITY, WHATEVER ITS ORIENTATION, AS ANOTHER MANIFESTATION OF YOUR GOODNESS.” GIVE US THE VISION TO RECOGNIZE AND REJECT THE HOMOPHOBIA AROUND US AND IN OUR HEARTS, AS WELL,” it added.

The revelation heightens concerns that some at the board are using the equity policy, which comes as part of the Ontario government’s mandatory and controversial equity and inclusive education strategy, to subvert Catholic teaching in the area of homosexuality.

Sr. Joan Cronin, head of the Ontario’s bishops’ Institute for Catholic Education (ICE), and the bishops’ lead on implementing the equity strategy, was present at the meeting. Asked about the prayer at her offices today, she said “no comment.”

Last month, the board voted down several amendments from trustee John Del Grande specifying that equity and inclusion must be implemented “in a manner consistent with the Catholic faith and Catholic moral teaching.” Trustees are expected to pass the policy sometime in April.

Entitled ‘Prayer in Honor of Those Whom Jesus Loved’, the prayer was authored by Sr. Joan Chittister,* who is renowned for promoting positions contrary to Catholic teaching on such issues as abortion, homosexuality, and women’s “ordination.”…

The Catechism of the Catholic Church insists that those with homosexual inclinations be “accepted with respect, compassion, and sensitivity,” and condemns “unjust discrimination” towards them.

At the same time, however, the Catechism also says homosexual inclinations are “objectively disordered,” calls those with such tendencies to chastity, and it condemns homosexual acts as “acts of grave depravity” (2357-2359)… [A leading ‘equity trainer’ Chris D’Souza advocates same-sex marriage, surrogacy for homosexual families, and accepting the homosexual lifestyle itself.]

P.S. *It is common sense that bishops do not get involved with dissident teachers. Don’t treat the laity as fools! Some of Ontario Catholic bishops should resign.

Most kept silent when Catholic-in-name-politicians, CINOP Liberals passed Same-Sex Marriage in Canada in 2005. This is what I fear will happen in America where the CINOP is still treated as a Sacred Cow and an Untouchable Heretic for what she or he is.
