This is strange...why would you send this around to parishes for comment? Maybe to float a balloon, or placate someone? This would be like me asking to take a vote on the 10 commandments. Give me a break. Or unless this is a way for the media to leak this info to everybody before it gets to the parishes. If momma and daddy are in charge they don't take a vote or ask comments from the children about how they're going to discipline them. Talk about misguided compassion. Cardinal Pell should say this is what we're going to do and stand by it! Don't ask for ANY COMMENTS! Craziness.
The Catholic archdiocese of Sydney wants its school leaders to publicly commit to a vow of fidelity by adhering to church teaching on homosexuality, birth control and women's ordination.
The vow would apply to its 167 principals, its deputy principals and religious education coordinators and would be a first for the Australian church, Fairfax newspapers report.
The Archbishop of Sydney, Cardinal George Pell, is behind the move to extend the oath - which is a requirement of church law for bishops, priests and heads of seminaries - to all senior educational leaders.
The requirement is contained in a draft pastoral plan circulated to all parishes of the Sydney archdiocese for comment.
