Religion: Catholic school allowing the sons of two gay men to enroll at Catholic school

But DAMN the rest of the folks at the school are pissed! Apparently parents at the school have to sign some sort of pact that they'll live by traditional Catholic values, which papists of course don't believe includes being a loving homosexual couple. Luckily, there are more than enough seemingly intelligent people involved in this fiasco, pointing out that just because the parents are gay, that the kids aren't doing anything "wrong" (at least that's a relatively MODERATE view!), and this quote, from the Superintendent of the school:

But Father Gerald M. Horan, superintendent of schools run by the Diocese of Orange, rejected the idea of a parental covenant. If the school barred gay parents from enrolling their children, they would also have to ban children of parents who violate other church teachings, including those who are divorced, use birth control or weren't married in the church, he said.
Yay for tolerant (or at least getting there and trying) Catholics!
