A Catholic private school in Massachusetts has been excommunicated by a local bishop after ignoring orders to remove pride and BLM flags. The Nativity School of Worcester has been sanctioned by Robert J. McManus, the Bishop of the Diocese of Worcester, for their refusal to take them down. He says the facility - the only tuition-free private school in the region - cannot continue to call itself Catholic while flying in the face of key church teachings. The school, run by Principal Emily Kent is the only tuition-free private middle school in the region and serves about 60 students.

I don't think a school or other organization can be excommunicated. Excommunication is reserved for individuals who are guaranteed to be burned in hell. (At least that is what the Good Sisters of Saint Joseph taught me.) As for the homosexual alum named Creamer, I'll let that one pass.

So, who exactly is funding this school? I would think that the School will need to do what the Bishop demands, or it will lose any funding they get from the Church. If the School is Tuition Free, they have to find new funding in order to go against the decree of the Bishop.

In reality, principal Kent is promoting the worship of false gods, for which she must answer to a much higher authority than the Catholic Church.

Such is the state of modern “journalism” that its moron practitioners can’t even get terminology right. Excommunication is a personal penalty. The bishop sanctioned the school and forbad it to use the name Catholic. He hurt their little feelings.

When a region has been essentially excommunicatd, i believe it is called being put under 'Interdiction'. In this state, all in authority are treated as excommunicated, and cannot recieve any aid from the larger church (including financial aid). In medievil times it meant anyone who was a member of an affected State, could not recieve communion, holy unction, last rites, or celebrate marriages.

WASHINGTON — The U.S. Supreme Court has overturned the monumental Roe v. Wade case that legalized abortion across the America. The 6-3 decision on Friday followed the early May leak of a draft opinion indicating which way the justices would rule.

Overturning of the landmark 1973 case came in the decision on Dobbs v.s. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, a challenge to a Mississippi law greatly restricting the federal right to abortion

A North Carolina charter school with a female principal and vice principal is violating the Constitution because it requires girls to wear skirts, a federal appeals court has declared. The full Fourth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, the same court that mandated the removal of war memorial crosses in five states, said Tuesday that the Charter Day School's skirt requirement for girls is rooted in unconstitutional gender stereotypes. It is the first time a federal appeals court has said charter schools may be sued for civil rights claims, and will almost assuredly be followed by lawsuits involving sports, bathroom access, and transgender rights.

Not only that, Ocasio-Cortez complained, but there are thousands of dollars worth of out-of-pocket expenses.

Colombo, Sri Lanka — Sri Lanka's debt-laden economy has "collapsed" after months of shortages of food, fuel and electricity, the prime minister told lawmakers Wednesday in comments that underscored the country's dire situation as it seeks help from international lenders. Ranil Wickremesinghe told Parliament the South Asian nation faces "a far more serious situation" than the shortages alone, and he warned of "a possible fall to rock bottom." "Our economy has completely collapsed," he said. The crisis on the island of 22 million is considered its worst in recent memory, but Wickremesinghe did not cite any specific new developments.

The Biden administration on Tuesday proposed changes to the federal civil-rights statute banning sex discrimination in federally funded education programs, including expanding protections to sexual orientation and gender identity. One proposed change “would make clear that preventing any person from participating in an education program or activity consistent with their gender identity would subject them to more than de minimis harm on the basis of sex and therefore be prohibited, unless otherwise permitted by Title IX or the regulations.” If adopted, the rule change would bar universities and any other federally funded institutions from maintaining men’s and women’s sports and sex-segregated spaces like locker rooms and dormitories.
