The National Catholic Register website reports today (March 11, 2010) that after administrators of Sacred Heart of Jesus Catholic School in Boulder, Colorado discovered that a schoolchild's parents were lesbians, they declared that the child would not be able to continue in the school.
The lesbian couple was informed that the child would only be permitted to complete kindergarten, but not advance to first grade at the school.
"Parents living in open discord with Catholic teaching in areas of faith and morals unfortunately choose by their actions to disqualify their children from enrollment," said a statement issued by the Archdiocese of Denver.
Archbishop Charles Chaput of Denver -- in an effort to clarify his policy for parochial school admissions -- noted that the Church teachings on marriage and sexual morality are "central to a Catholic understanding of human nature, family and happiness, and the organization of society."
