A bishop has declared that a central Massachusetts school "may no longer identify itself as Catholic" because it refuses to remove Black Lives Matter and Pride flags it began flying on campus last year, the ABC News website reports today (June 17, 2022).
Arguing that the flags "embody specific agencies and ideologies that contradict Catholic social and moral teaching," Bishop Robert McManus of the Diocese of Worcester issued a decree on June 16 punishing the Nativity School of Worcester, a tuition-free private middle school that serves about 60 boys from under-resourced communities.
The decree prohibits the school from calling itself Catholic and prevents Mass and sacraments from taking place on school grounds.
