Apparently, a certain bishop didn't get the message

From The Hill -

Bishop says school flying BLM, LGBTQ flags can no longer call itself Catholic

A Massachusetts middle school may no longer describe itself as Catholic after refusing to lower a Black Lives Matter flag and an LGBTQ+ Pride flag, a local bishop has declared.

Bishop Robert J. McManus on Thursday said the Nativity School of Worcester, a tuition-free middle school for boys from low-income families, is prohibited from identifying as a Catholic School over its decision to fly the flags, which he said in April represented ideologies that are inconsistent with Catholic beliefs.

"Catholic beliefs"?  Really?

Where in Catholic teachings do those teachings say that it's OK to kill someone because of their skin color?  Or that the intended victims shouldn't object to it?

And isn't kind of hypocritical of any member of Church management to cast the first stone on LGBTQ+ issues?

Anyway, from the website of the National Catholic Educational Association (emphasis added by me) -

U. S. Catholic school enrollment reached its peak during the early 1960s when there were more than 5.2 million students in almost thirteen thousand schools across the nation. The 1970s and 1980s saw a steep decline in both the number of schools and students. By 1990, there were approximately 2.5 million students in 8,719 schools. From the mid-1990s through 2000, there was a steady enrollment increase (1.3%) despite continued closings of schools.

From the website of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (emphasis added by me) -

Catholic Education

These facts are for 2016-2017 unless otherwise noted.

The Catholic Church runs the largest network of private schools in the United States. Total Catholic elementary/middle and high school enrollment for the 2016-2017 academic year is 1,878,824.  

• Elementary/middle schools: 5,224 schools educating 1,309,429 students.
• High schools: 1,205 schools educating 569,395 students.
• 6,429 total Catholic (elementary/middle and high) schools in the United States.

Maybe someone should tell that bishop that further reducing the quantity of Catholic schools is NOT a good idea.

Note: I grew up in Worcester County MA (which is why this caught my attention) and was a Catholic...until I realized that the nuns who taught CCD didn't like left-handed people or people who objected to being told how to think.

This isn't a criticism of Catholicism (or any other religion).  I just happen to believe that good people are good people, and that bad people are bad, whether or not those people profess a particular religious belief. 

Religious beliefs are just words, while actions matter more.

Harming others while citing religion and/or political ideology?  Still qualifies as harming others.

Something that certain members of the Arizona Legislature should take to heart.
