Catholic School Threatens to Expel Student Over Sticker

70. Technically, you are obligated to be loyal to the Magesterium

Catholics are all about obedience. Christ was obedient unto death on a cross. They remind you a lot about that.

As you can probably guess, I attended a lot due to my parents as a youth. As a child, our priests were very concerned about social justice. Abortion was not the focus it is now, but my priests were Jesuits and social media didn't exist, so I must accept that my experience may have been cloistered due to our remoteness growing up. I don't know.

I don't view Catholicism the way a lot of others do. It kind of is what it is. Take it or leave it, as you will; but expecting to change it a fool's errand. There is no room in Catholicism for dissent.

To answer your question, I don't know why. I personally believe the modern Church has too much Thomas Aquinas in it. They have lost the mysticism that the Orthodox have not.

Yet strangely, Thomas Aquinas would say a three month old fetus only has an animal soul. So despite their embracing of so much of the Saint's beliefs, that one was eschewed.

Anyway, if the girl feels this way she would be better served to simply find a school outside of the Faith. She's not winning this one.
