TORONTO CATHOLIC SCHOOL BOARD VOTES TO ADOPT 'GENDER' IDEOLOGY
IN PURSUIT OF THE TRUTH - HTTP://WWW.CINOPSBEGONE.COM - TUES. NOV. 12/19
Excerpts from LifeSite News: Toronto, Nov. 8, 20190 (LIfeSiteNews) - The Toronto Catholic District School Board (TCDSB) voted early Friday morning to add "gender identity" and "gender expression" to its code of conduct.
Critics say the move will compel Catholic students and teachers to submit to LGBT ideology that claims. contrary to Catholic teaching, that males can "transition" into females and females into males.
The TCDSB trustees voted eight to four to add the terms, as well as "marital status and family status." to the code, which governs students and teachers. The Toronto Catholic School Board is one of the largest boards in Canada with over 90,000 students.
According to the policy update, "all members of the school community must respect and treat others fairly, regardless of, for example, race, ancestry, place of origin, colour, ethnic origin, citizenship. creed, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, age, marital status, family status or disability.
According to a TCDSB report submitted just before the meeting, the Archdiocese of Toronto has approved adding the terms with proviso that these be "interpreted thru the lens of the Catholic faith." The report "was the first time the archdiocese's views on the matter had been made public," reported the Toronto Star....
But Jack Fonseca of Campaign Life Coalition says 'there's no such thing as 'a Catholic lens,' through which people can be taught to respect sin and embrace sin." "The resulting language is a betrayal of the Catholic faith and a form of apostasy," said Fonseca, director of political operations for Campaign Life.
"Gender identiy theory directly attacks the image of God in creation, which was created male and female, an an attack on the image of God is a form of apostasy," he told LifeSiteNews.... Friday morning's vote comes after months of bitter controversy generated by an October 2018 ministry of education request that all school boards align their codes of conduct to comply with the provincial code and Ontario Human Rights Code (OHRC).... Boards were asked to comply by November 4. ...
Delegate Chris Elliot, a youth minister from St. Timothy's spoke for many who opposed amending the policy; he warned doing so was a "Trojan horse" that would fundamentally undercut Catholic beliefs.
"Your vote as board members will have far-reaching consequences, I daresay it will be historic," Elliot told trustees. "It will either be the day where you took a firm stand for Christ and defended our Catholic beliefs and values or ... the day timidly surrendered them for all of us."

P.S. All of the above will occur in the U.S.A. I recall when same-sex marriage was legalized in Canada by the CINOP (Catholic-in-name-only politician). We could have obtained under the George Bush administration a Constitutional Amendment that marriage is between a man and a woman. But U.S.A. Catholic leadership was not there.
