  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

The issue of Catholic schools in Canada celebrating “Pride” month continues to generate controversy.

For the third year in a row, St. Denis Catholic School in Toronto, Ontario, raised the Pride flag on school grounds. St. Denis Principal Anthony Pauk told students that the Pride flag and related activities “showcase how Catholicity and love come together.”

Parents and students over 14 were invited on June 12 to a free screening of the movie “With Wonder,” according to Beach Metro Community News. The documentary addresses reconciling homosexuality with faith and LGBTQ+ advocacy.

Other Catholic schools in Ontario have also featured LGBTQ+ programming this month. For example, the X account of Our Lady of Fatima of Milton, Ontario, displayed the motto “We all belong” with rainbow colors, while the the Halton Catholic District School Board declared that it raised the Pride flag “as a symbol of our commitment to nurturing safe and inclusive schools.”
