What do you think about expelling an innocent young child from a church school setting because of the sins of her parents, obviously?

Yes really it does. The Church will not baptize a child if the parents are not Catholic or do not submit to Mother Church, this policy of this Archdiocese bares the same idea. The same reasoning that does not allow a child to be baptized to non-catholic parents.

I wish the Catholic schools in St. Pete adhered to that. Our parish school was 75% non-Catholics, because it was too expensive for most of the parishioners.

are you saying that this school that was 75% non-Catholics is bad? it is you are who is misguided, my brother
did Jesus spend his time with sinners or the saved, the non-Catholic parents are helping there children grow in the grace of true faith. how can this be wrong?

CatherineM is a Lady.

The catholic schools in St. Pete aren't attended by non-catholics because their parents want them to get an education that increases their faith. They are simply the dumping grounds for rich kids whose parents don't want them to attend school with minorities. When bussing began, the Catholic schools were overrun, so they increased tuition two to threes times as much partially because they could, and partially to meet the demands on the curriculum placed by rich parents.

My obtuse point was that if these kinds of rules were in place, most of those "white-flight" kids would have been weeded out, and maybe the tuition could have come down to a level that poorer Catholic could afford.

Not indiscriminately. We are to use prudence in deciding [i]whom[/i] we teach. Don't cast pearls before swine.
