Lesbian couple's child barred from Catholic school
Paul Moses March 7, 2010 - 11:23pm
It is the teaching of the church to "avoid every kind of unjust discrimination" against those who are gay or lesbian. "They must be accepted with respect, compassion, and sensitivity," according to The Catechism of the Catholic Church.So I don't see how the Archdiocese of Denver or the pastor of Sacred Heart Church in Boulder, Colorado can justify their decision to bar a pre-schooler from re-enrolling in the parish school because the child has two moms.But defend it, they do. You can read their justifications here and here.Call it what they may, I don't think their decision to discriminate against this child reflects Catholic values.
Commenting Guidelines
"There are parishes that would not baptize this child, either, because the family situation suggests that there is not a reasonable expectation that this child would be reared in the Catholic faith."Jim, I would disagree with this statement.When a gay or lesbian couple presents their child for baptism, I would assume that child would have an excellent Catholic upbringing--in some ways better than many heterosexual couples. Why?Because that gay couple has stood up to attitudes often prevalent in the gay community against not only Catholicism, but any religion at all. Due to the homophobia of the institutional Church, many gays and lesbian assume that Catholicism is a farce (and can you really blame them?). As a result, for a gay man to state to his friends that he attends Mass often provokes protest. How could you support such a hateful institution? How can you be gay and Catholic? And for a gay couple to decide to have their child baptized is a courageous stance; some of their friends may refuse to attend. Such a couple has made a decision, a conscious choice for the Gospel that most people are not presented with; to remain faithful to the teachings of Jesus in the Catholic tradition despite opposition. They have made a counter-cultural choice, as contrasted with the vast majority of heterosexuals who have their child baptized just because it is the socially acceptable thing to to (I say this because I teach baptismal preparation sessions, so I feel like I know something about this). The witness the gay couple will give to their child is that of a strong, intentional practice of the Faith rather than a passive practice we see so often among our parishioners, who are Catholic mainly by default.Consider someone like Andrew Sullivan. Do you think that if he had a child that child would be raised a strong, committed and well-formed Catholic?
There are a number of different topics here, some touched on previously:-Catholic schools and their mission.In the Charter schools thread I noted an op from Baltimore where the Bishop seemed to indicate an important prioirity was SEVICE. For the Church to show its concern for the poor, providing stability, structure and value orientation (apart from indoctrination) is a work to be done.-In the Chaput thread I noted this matter, and it shows to my mind a very narrow view of passing on the faith by indoctrination by not only the Abp. but his supporters here, notably Kathy and Sean and Ken.Which leads me to where I think this thread should go or be expanded.This event was coupled on CNN Newsroom last night with the Archdiocese of Washington saying it will not privide health care for the xspouses of Catholic Charities workers hired hnceforth due to the council's decsion there to allow gay couples to adopt and no agency is to ban them.Fr. Thomas Reese defended that action as the church protecting itself from political hardball, but he had no defense for what happened in Boulder.I think he's right on the latter - it's a disgrace.On the former, I wondered if meeting hardball with hardball is the Christlike way to speak with clarity.For I think the discussion shoiuld center on how the message of the gospel is presented.I recently enjoyed Fr. Jim Martin writing about how we experience our relationship with Christ and how He meets people where they are.It strikes me that the CXhurch leadership is going in the opposite direction and undemining the message it says it wants to proclaim with clarity.
I thought the Donatists died out a long time ago. Apparently not on this blog or in Denver!
David, do I really need to demonstrate that the archdiocese wants children to live in Christian families that are in full communion with the church? Jim,My point was that the Denver Catholic schools accept non-Catholic students of non-Catholic parents. The admissions policy of the school I quoted didn't even say students must be Christian. I am sure the archdiocese wants all children to live in two-parent Catholic families in full communion with the Catholic Church, but that isn't what's under discussion here. What we are discussing is whether the schools have a policy of excluding students whose parents are not in full communion with the Church. If the Denver schools accept non-Catholic (or even non-Christian) students, then obviously full communion with the Church is not a requirement.
And who knew that relativism reigned on the Catholic right?!
To me this smacks of a petty publicity stunt by the couple, hoping to entangle the school and the Church in this controversy.Ken,You are going beyond the evidence at hand, and you are also going beyond what the Archdiocese says is the reason for not readmitting the student. There is no evidence so far that there was a "lesbian plot" to attack the Catholic Church. There is no evidence that this has all been cooked up by "gay activists."
Sean Hannaway: "The comparison to out of wedlock children is a red herring. This is not about punishment, its about scandal."Could you explain a bit more? Wasn't the pregnant girl in the 50s also about scandal? The school may not have even required it exactly, but everyone at that time agreed that the girl should stay home because it would scandalize the other students, right? As Jim Pauwels points out, no one could ever know if the mother of an out of wedlock child had repented because it would be in confession. Even if she did repent, the child would always be there, which would always be a scandal, right? This is, of course, why church affiliated homes for wayward girls existed. The girls and babies were sent away for some time. There was such a home on what is now the vice president's house at Providence College.I think the analogy worth discussing, even if it is always an analogy.PS I'm happy to say that I affirm and accept all the teachings of the Catholic Church. I do think that Catholic could disagree about this prudential judgment at discussion here.
Cute Goyo, but the matter at hand is in fact worth some thoughful consideration.
David My question remains then; why would anyone want to enrol their child in a school that will routinely and repeatedly teach their child that what routinely goes on in the childs home, namely the lifestyle of the parents, is intrinsically disordered?
My (other) main point David, is that to avoid being dragged into this controversey, it seems the school is prudent to simply not engage this couple or their child.
Our Church's treatment of homosexuals really distresses me. My daughters' Catholic school sent home a flyer last Fall asking parents to call our elected officials to fight some gay marriage legislation. I told my older daughter that I was actually in support of the legislation and was going to call in favor of it. I also told the School Principal that I supported the bill; I felt like I'd be a hypocrit if I just remained silent. Since I now had this political flyer to deal with, I had to tell my daughter that I think our Church is very mistaken on its views on gays, that it is a form of discrimination just as evil as racism. I try to be a good Catholic, but in this instance being a good Catholic conflicts (for me) with being a good Christian, and I need to go with the latter. And I am also very troubled by the distinction some folks are drawing between private and public sin. I am a divorced-remarried Catholic, but because this is a "private" sin (until I just threw it out over the internet) I don't need to deal with the public censure that this lesbian couple does. I think there are a whole lot of us sinners out there, and I would agree with others that if we held that against our children, Catholic Schools would be very empty. The idea of expelling children for the sins of the parent poses another question for me. Would you also deny these children religious education? How about communion?
In what grade do parochial school teachers begin "routinely and repeatedly" talking about "lifestyle" and "homosexuality" and what is "intrinsically disordered"? Are the kids tested on these matters? Is there a teacher's guide for presenting these doctrines? Who publishes it?(It's been many decades since I went through parochial school and Catholic high school without ever once hearing the words abortion, homosexuality, or intrinsically disordered lifestyle.)
Hi, Eric,You may be right that there is something counter-cultural (within a gay community) in a gay couple presenting their child for baptism. Admirable as that is, the pastor still needs to agree, per canon law, that there is a "founded hope" that the infant would be reared in the faith. Clearly, this leaves quite a bit to the discretion of the pastor. I just happen to know, having pursued similar questions with various pastors (although none having to do with a gay couple), that some pastors hold the bar up higher than others.
The comment wasn't intended as cute or glib, Ken. It's a serious thing when moral theology and practice seems to stray so far from the example of Christ.
David My question remains then; why would anyone want to enrol their child in a school that will routinely and repeatedly teach their child that what routinely goes on in the childs home, namely the lifestyle of the parents, is intrinsically disordered?Ken,Do you really think that Denver Catholic pre-schools teach 5-year-olds that lesbian sex is intrinsically disordered?
Ken asks;'My question remains then; why would anyone want to enroll their child in a school that will routinely and repeatedly teach their child that what routinely goes on in the childs home, namely the lifestyle of the parents, is intrinsically disordered?'At a corporate dinner a few years ago one asked another why would she would have a daughter enrolled in a semi-presitigious Catholic HS academy when she so disliked the Catholic church. 'I Tell her not to listen to the religious BS'Lay Catholic teachers can but won't testify to the prevalence of that occuring. A/Bs tune it out and they go about lecturing that the laity are being purposely 'confused' by secular 'elements' [poor dopey laity!]
Mike Harden,I thought being charitable means assuming the best about others.What are the limits on being charitable that you mention?
My (other) main point David, is that to avoid being dragged into this controversey, it seems the school is prudent to simply not engage this couple or their child.Ken,It seems to me there was no controversy until the Archdiocese booted the kid from school. If your conjecture is true that enrolling the child in a Catholic school was some kind of plot on the part of gay activists, then I would say the Archdiocese was wise to put a stop to it. But given what we know so far, that conjecture is based on no evidence whatsoever, and it strikes me as uncharitable.
My question remains then; why would anyone want to enroll their child in a school that will routinely and repeatedly teach their child that what routinely goes on in the childs home, namely the lifestyle of the parents, is intrinsically disordered?Because it's reasonable to assume that no one is going to subject a four- or five-year old kid to a constant, sex-obsessed harangue about his or her parents lifestyle. If such an obsession is not 'intrinsically disordered', what is?Somehow, charity and common sense have flown out the window. Regardless of how this business found its way into the news, the archdiocese's defensive and clumsy response shows a callous disregard for the child as a person. Where have we seen that attitude before?
Still no mention of "gay activists" or of a plot by the lesbian parents.
href="http://www.9news.com/rss/article.aspx?storyid=134102">Parents to start petition after school turns away lesbian couple's child Kevin Torres 5 hrs agoBOULDER - Dozens of parents plan on starting a petition Monday, to protest the Archdiocese's decision to disallow a student to re-enroll at Sacred Heart of Jesus Catholic School in Boulder because his or her parents are lesbians.Sunday morning, protestors gathered outside Sacred Heart of Jesus Catholic School.Kira Hall was holding a sign that said "God loves all people" outside the church."I grew up Catholic in a strong Catholic family with six kids, and I'm just deeply, deeply disappointed by the decision of Sacred Heart," she said.Another protestor said she believes barring the student goes against the teachings of the Bible."I have a daughter that goes to school at Sacred Heart," Colleen Scanlan Lyons said. "I've had 16 years of Catholic education, and this just reached the core of my being as completely wrong and against the teachings of Jesus."Some parents are considering taking a full-page ad out in a local paper to blast the Archdiocese's decision. Others say they might pull their kids from Sacred Heart school.Inside the church, Father Bill Breslin explained his decision to his congregation. While he didn't want to speak to reporters, he encouraged people to visit his blog to learn about why he decided bar the student.On his blog, Breslin said, "This past week we implemented a policy that has been the most difficult decision of my life."Breslin also said he "chose to protect the faith over doing what would have looked like the loving thing to do.""Our school is a Catholic school, and our teaching on the sanctity of marriage is as clear as a bell," the blog said. "So, the decision I made was based on my conviction that we needed to rest on the side of backing our beliefs and our values. We need to fight for our Catholic values, because here in Boulder it seems no one else is."The priest said he believes that his church has every right to make these kinds of decisions.You can read the entire blog at: http://www.fatherbillsblog.com/.(KUSA-TV 2010 Multimedia Holdings Corporation)
Father Breslin's latest blogpost (thanks David Nickol) is telling in many respects. Some excerpts:"The choice could have been made to do nothing and allow a lesbian couple to enroll their child in our Kindergarten. But that choice would have been against Archdiocesan policy; and when a priest is ordained he promises obedience to his bishop." And if the bishop tells you to...?Or this: "Being disciples of Jesus Christ is very demanding. Yes, being disciples entails adherence to the many examples of Jesus love: love one another as I have loved you; be not the first to throw a stone; judge not lest you be judged. Think of the Good Samaritan story and the Prodigal Son. But when it came to making disciples, He spoke in a different way, a more radical way: unless you take up your cross and follow me, you can have no part of me." Interesting distinction between disciples and...?"I hate the fact that I had to make a choice between being loving and protecting the teachings of the church." Another way of saying this is going to hurt me more than it hurts you...?"The issue is not about our not accepting sinners. It is not about punishing the child for the sins of his or her parents. It is simply that the lesbian couple is saying that their relationship is a good one that should be accepted by everyone; and the Church cannot agree to that. People who are divorced do not say divorce is good. There are no pro-divorce parades. Divorce is a tragedy for everybody."He may want to re-think calling divorce a tragedy for everyone. I know some women whose lives have literally been saved by getting a divorce from abusive husbands. But he's right -- pro-divorce parades aren't nearly as common or colorful as pro-Catholic lesbian parents parades.
"But that choice would have been against Archdiocesan policy; and when a priest is ordained he promises obedience to his bishop.Hmmm. This priest must be the only pastor in the United States who adheres 100% to each and every diocesan policy. Fascinating. Or does he only adhere to the policies he agrees with?
In general parents send their children to Catholc school for security and propriety reasons. 90% or better of students who attend Catholic schools stop attending church when they graduate. Catholic schools were closing in bunches in NY in the early seventies. Then busing came to town and the trend was reversed. Catholic schools, especially grammar and high school, give a nice structure to make like things are happening and conduct nice compulsory liturgy. They do have a social benefit. Whether they produce followers of Christ is doubtful.
The pastor is continuing to dig his grave deeper and deeper:Quote from John O'Malley, SJ: "By the spirit of the council I mean simply general orientations that transcended particular issues. In my book, What Happened at Vatican II, I argue that beneath the particular issues the council dealt withepiscopal collegiality, for instance, and religious libertymore profound and far-reaching issues lurked. I call these the issues-under-the-issues. I ground them in the texts of the council and in that way ground the spirit of the council and give it verifiable substance. Among the issues-under-the issues was style, the issue especially pertinent for grounding the spirit of the council. The council spoke in a new style, a style different from all previous councils. It eschewed words implying punishment, surveillance, hostility, distrust and coerced behavior-modification that characterized previous councils. It employed words that espoused a new model for Christian behaviornot new, of course, to the Christian tradition as such, but new to council vocabulary. I am referring to words like brothers and sisters, cooperation, partnership, human family, conscience, collegiality and especially dialogue. The new words cannot be dismissed as casual asides or mere window dressing. The council used them too insistently, intentionally and characteristically for them to be that. This new vocabulary made the council a major language-event in the history of the church.The shift in vocabulary had profound ramifications. It meant a shift in values and priorities. Critical among these new values was civility in dealing with persons of different faiths or convictions and a willingness to listen to them with docile heart and mind. This civility was not a superficial tactic but a manifestation of an inner conversion. It of course did not mean surrendering ones beliefs, but it did mean a willingness to learn from others and a refusal to condemn them without a hearing. Such openness of mind and heart is the essence of genuine dialogue.The council hoped that this new style of being, which brings with it a new way of proceeding, would lead to cooperation among all persons of good willCatholics and non-Catholics, Christians and non-Christians, believers and non-believerson the new, massive, and sometimes terrifying problems that face humanity today. This new way of proceeding in large part constituted the spirit of the council. It was one of the big messages the council delivered to the church and to the world at large."Compare this to the Denver Archdiocese; the typical approach espoused by AB Chaput, and this pastor.Re-read an article by Daniel Philpott in America Magazine, May 4, 2009 entitled: "Lessons in Mercy" - highlights:Nunca mas! (Never again!) is the dominant answer to the question of justice within the community of human rights activists and international lawyers. Other voices, though, have articulated an alternative approach: reconciliation. They come disproportionately from religious communities and ..... usually embrace human rights. It is only natural that the Catholic Church would take an interest in reconciliation. At the source and summit of Christian life is the Eucharist, the sacramental re-enactment of the event through which sin, evil and death are defeated and friendship with God and justice are restored. Is not peacebuilding an imitation of just this transformation? And does not a global wave of societies struggling to restore justice make the present moment a propitious one for the church to offer a teaching on social reconciliation, just as it has offered teachings on war, economic development and democracy in past encyclicals? Closely related is the biblical notion of peace (shalom or eirene), which connotes a holistic condition of right relationship and of justice. One other biblical concept is essential and may be thought of as reconciliations animating virtue: mercy. As Pope John Paul II described it in Rich in Mercy, mercy is manifested in its true and proper aspect when it restores to value, promotes and draws good from all the forms of evil existing in the world and in man, a broad, transformational virtue that resembles reconciliation. In the first of these practices the social teachings of the church converge most closely with the commitments of the human rights community: building socially just institutions based on the rule of law, human rights and a commitment to economic justice. The relationships between citizens and states that these institutions embody are the very goal of reconciliation in the political realm and should not be compromised by other aspects of reconciliation. Such was the message of the South African black theologians who wrote the Kairos Document in 1985 against fellow church leaders who called for reconciliation while too feebly opposing apartheid.But human rights and the rule of law are not enough, given the numerous wounds of injustice. One such wound is the loneliness and isolation that victims experience when their suffering is unrecognized by the community, a redoubling of the violation itself, as the South African political philosopher Andr du Toit has argued.These are merely excerpts from the point of view of the church's historical and current peace and justice positions. It is difficult for me to relate to this pastor's stance; his comments and tortured explanations compared to the simple statements of church experience that has sought mercy and justice for the disadvantaged, the poor, the marginalized, etc. Many defend the archdiocese's actions - it places rigid law over mercy; it disrupts the community by placing an administrative law above human dignity and the rights of all including practicing catholics. It elevates "scandal" (or at least their appeal to this) above any type of reasonable attempt to forgive, seek mercy, extend a helping hand rather than judgment, rigidity, defensiveness, and condemnation.Or another approach from an article by Rev. Walsh using James Fowler's "Stages of Faith":There are six levels of faith identified by Walsh are briefly explained below in a descending order from 6 to 1. As noted faith development is pretzel shaped so the stages are to be understood as the predominant stage of the person's faith rather than a state which does not allow for further growth.Marathon runner (level 6): Universal Faith Resolution of models: This person has many models of making meaning in life and there is a resolution of the tension between the various models which work in a perfect harmony. Jogging (level 5): Community Faith Many models: This person is able to deal with paradox in life and is able to deal with reality which is not always "eitheror" style but frequently involves "bothand." There is openness to the views and the sensitivities of others. All persons who undertake ministry in the Church must have reached this stage of faith development. Hopping (level 4): Personal Faith One Model: This person has undergone some conversion experience which had resulted in an analysis of faith and realised that there are many ways in which various people can appropriate and personalise their faith. Parade Socialisation (level 3): Searching Fait h Carried by the community: This person follows significant others in the parade in a rather unquestioning and non-judgmental manner. This person is happy in his or her parade and will derive his or her identity from the group. Indoctrination (level 2): Affiliative Faith Carried by the community: This person is formed in-doctrine of the story of the particular faith tradition. Faith is doing and believing what is taught / presented. Vibrations (level 1): Experienced Faith Carried by the community: This person shares the faith experience of her/his parents. God is like a super parent. Basically, this stage should convince the child that life is worth living. A person will not move to the next stage until she or he is faced with a disequilibrium which challenges their present stage of faith and its inability to make meaning of the new experience.The church is at its best when it captures and lives "Both-And" rather than "Either-Or".....think about that.

Fascinating. Or does he only adhere to the policies he agrees with?"Priests make solemn promises, before God, to obey their bishop. Don't you think he should keep his promises? If we've promised our spouses that we will be faithful, don't you think we should keep those promises? How is this any different?A diocesan priest's ordination and way of life really can't even be understood except in relation to his bishop. Yet it seems that the widely held opinion here is that the priest disregard that duty and identity, and do what y'all want him to do, because ... because ... well, honestly, I don't know why he should do that. Why should he? What's at stake here? Is there some fundamental right or liberty that is being denied here? What's the issue?The scandal in this situation isn't what this guy did, but that far too many of his brothers so lightly disregard those promisees. This guy is abiding by his promises, by taking a position that would be unpopular in a lot of places, but acutely so in Boulder, CO. If any parades are held in this situation, it should be for him.
"What are the limits on being charitable that you mention"Rationality, I suppose. If a man comes up for communion in drag, wearing a rainbow sash and a t-shirt that makes a statement opposing the church's teaching on homosexuality, it would not be uncharitable to refuse him communion, it would be completely rational. Ditto for a homosexual couple bringing their child to school...is it not beyond reason to presume that they are a chaste homosexual couple? A priests can be homosexual, as long as he does not act on his sexual orientation, and we charitably presume he is being faithful to his vow of chastity. But if we see that same priest walking hand in hand with another man, are we really required, in charity, to presume he remains chaste? The responsibility for scandal would rest with the priest acting in this way, as it does for this homosexual couple.
I read somewhere that there was a bullying problem that the school could not resolve. I guess that the child was being bullied by other children because she is raised by a lesbian couple, and that the school was incapable of putting an end to the bullying while maintaining that the gay or lesbian lifestyle is intrinsically disordered. In other words, they do not know how to simultaneously defend the position of the church on homosexuality and also defend homosexuals (or a child connected to homosexuals) from discrimination.Here is the priest's explanation, consistent with that rumor. The issue [...] is simply that the lesbian couple is saying that their relationship is a good one that should be accepted by everyone; and the Church cannot agree to that. [...] By this decision we really want to protect the child and his or her parents from the necessary conflict that their relationship would bring to a clear-seeing and committed Catholic community. The policy of the Catholic school system is also to protect the teachers from being forced [...] to face huge conflicts within the classroom, so they can teach clearly, and also support the family life of the children they are teaching.The archdiocese backs his decision with different, much more sweeping reasoning. It rules out the children of all people living in *open* discord with Catholic teaching in areas of faith and morals, so that they do not contaminate the other children with their ideas. As long as the discord is hidden, it seems to be tolerable. What dreadful hypocrisy!
"This priest must be the only pastor in the United States who adheres 100% to each and every diocesan policy. Fascinating. Or does he only adhere to the policies he agrees with"Speaking of uncharitable statements presuming the worst about someone...
This guy is abiding by his promises, by taking a position that would be unpopular in a lot of places, but acutely so in Boulder, CO. If any parades are held in this situation, it should be for him.Jim,I think the question is, "Since when has it been diocesan policy that a child with same-sex parents may not be a student in a Catholic school?" A second question is, "Is this policy consistent with the general admissions policy of the archdiocese for Catholic schools?" A third question is, "Does it make sense to offer as a reason to expel the student that Catholic teaching will be confusing and will be in conflict with what the student learns at home?" I would not fault a priest for obeying his bishop (at least not under these circumstances). But it does seem to be to be a bad policy, so I would fault the archdiocese for making this policy. As I said in a comment on Father Bill's Blog, even looking at this from an "orthodox" Catholic point of view, when has the Church ever claimed it is better for a child to be raised entirely in error ("Go find another school that approves of same-sex marriage") than for the child to hear the truth in Catholic school?
Jim and Mike: I probably assumed too much with that comment. My experience has been that pastors feel pretty free to ignore diocesan policies on many issues -- I've heard priests say they just throw away any letters from the chancery office unopened. Maybe that attitude is not as widespread as I understand. So if this pastor truly follows every diocesan policy to the letter and is carrying out that approach here with heavy heart, then he deserves our sympathy. My comment was made in light of my experience and the experiences of others, but I should have explained the background rather than offering a quick remark.
Rationality, I suppose. If a man comes up for communion in drag, wearing a rainbow sash and a t-shirt that makes a statement opposing the churchs teaching on homosexuality, it would not be uncharitable to refuse him communion, it would be completely rational. Ditto for a homosexual couple bringing their child to schoolis it not beyond reason to presume that they are a chaste homosexual couple?Mike,We know nothing at all about this couple. How did people know they were a "homosexual couple" instead of two women? Do you suppose they smooched in the car when the brought the kid to school? Did they wear t-shirts that said "lesbian couple"? Did they try to recruit other women to become lesbians at PTA meetings? It is interesting the analogies people make. Advocate of polyamorism. Child of a famous and outspoken neo-Nazi. Man in drag with anti-Catholic slogans on his t-shirt trying to receive communion. We have not heard one peep from or about this couple. There is no reason to presume they are doing anything flagrant or outwardly anti-Catholic. As far as we know so far, they were living together discreetly trying to send their child to a good school. Until we here something about them, can we please refrain from turning them into monsters or lesbian activists laying the groundwork for a lawsuit to embarrass the Church?
"My question remains then; why would anyone want to enrol their child in a school that will routinely and repeatedly teach their child that what routinely goes on in the childs home, namely the lifestyle of the parents, is intrinsically disordered?"The answer might be the same as for all the other non-Catholic students the comments have mentioned: because, although the school will not downplay its Catholic orientation, neither will it "routinely and repeatedly teach" Protestants or Muslims that they are inferior, defective, or going to hell. Neither, I would guess, would a normal Catholic school spend a lot of time on how disordered gay people are (and I imagine the good, sweet teachers at my daughter's Catholic school would certainly hedge the answer pastorally if it came up) except for the political inclination of their diocese and its archbishop to make this a front in the culture wars.
Four things we can all agree on:1.It's more than likely the women did this as a publicity stunt--why would the women voluntarily subject the little girl to a teaching the women were fundamentally opposed to?2.Even if the women's intentions were less than noble, that doesn't necessarily mean the school should not admit the child. 3.The divorced parent analogy fails. No woman believes that God made her a divorcee, and that that's a beautiful thing, nor teaches a child that.4.This is not a "no room in the inn" situation--I'm sure there's a public school right down the street that would be happy to accommodate the women's request.Kathy, since you apparently took the cake, would you mind sharing a piece with me?
The divorced parent might not apply, but the single parent one does -- there are lots of single parents by choice with their children in Catholic schools, and they are not singularly regretful. Just like there are lots of parents who are remarried, use contraception, infertility services and so on. The difference is, they can hide and so can safely assume a stance of hypocrisy undetected by the Church's hierarchy. But everyone knows they're there.
I condemn this AB's behavior.Please excuse me while I help Jesus hold his barf bag.
"3.The divorced parent analogy fails. "How about the analogy with people who regularly miss Sunday Mass? Their absence is pretty public, the repetition shows their obstinacy and demonstrates more clearly and more openly than words their open dissent with the Catholic teaching that Mass is not optional. This attitude may also spread and contaminate others; it's definitely a contagious bad example. As the Mass is the source and summit of our faith lives, no dissent is more serious than that. The AB ought to kick out all children whose parents are not regular church-goers.
Posted by Jim Pauwels on March 8th, 2010 at 2:38 pm --- the pastor still needs to agree, per canon law, that there is a founded hope that the infant would be reared in the faith. Clearly, this leaves quite a bit to the discretion of the pastor. Jim: how is this different from any other situation in which parents present their children for baptism? I suspect that in a large number of cases, there is a good reason to doubt that this will happen. In how many of these cases do you think the pastor will refuse baptism? Particularly if the grandparents of the child are good, long-standing, financially contributing members of the parish? Discretion indeed. What is the childs parents are divorced and remarried outside of the church? What is the child was born to a single parent?Yesterday at mass our presider noted that the greatest commandment is not thou shalt obey all the rules. Rather the greatest commandment is about loving God, our neighbors and ourselves.
"Four things we can all agree on:1.Its more than likely the women did this as a publicity stuntwhy would the women voluntarily subject the little girl to a teaching the women were fundamentally opposed to?'Now I know you're not arguing in good faith, Mark, unless you were kidding when you said this. Because, while you do not know anything about the motives of the women, you know for a fact that we can not all agree on #1. I hear my cage being rattled.
"1.Its more than likely the women did this as a publicity stuntwhy would the women voluntarily subject the little girl to a teaching the women were fundamentally opposed to?"The child was a current student in the school, (so s/he was there since last September at least, if not longer). The school didn't reject the original application, but rather chose not to re-enroll the student based on a new diocesan policy. I don't think it was a publicity stunt on the part of the parents.
"A third question is, Does it make sense to offer as a reason to expel the student that Catholic teaching will be confusing and will be in conflict with what the student learns at home? "I don't know the answer to those questions, David. I did want to mention that I see in the archdiocese's statement that the school was looking for a way of resolving the issue that wouldn't mean an abrupt expulsion of the child.
"Jim: how is this different from any other situation in which parents present their children for baptism? I suspect that in a large number of cases, there is a good reason to doubt that this will happen. In how many of these cases do you think the pastor will refuse baptism? Particularly if the grandparents of the child are good, long-standing, financially contributing members of the parish? Discretion indeed. What is the childs parents are divorced and remarried outside of the church? What is the child was born to a single parent?"Hi, Jimmy Mac, as I say, pastors use their judgment in determining these questions. FWIW, my experience has been that being a child of a single parent is never an issue. A good percentage of the babies we baptize live in single-parent homes, and I presume that is typical. If the parents are divorced and remarried, and the pastor is aware of it, then I would think that there a lot of pastors who would not baptize the baby. Others would. Each side would have their reasons.
"As I said in a comment on Father Bills Blog, even looking at this from an orthodox Catholic point of view, when has the Church ever claimed it is better for a child to be raised entirely in error (Go find another school that approves of same-sex marriage) than for the child to hear the truth in Catholic school?"David: I don't say you're wrong. A lot of pastors would probably look at it the same way. Maybe some bishops would, too.
Part of what I see here is that people in general and some American Catholics in particular, simply do not like to be told what to do; they do not like the idea of being obedient to the local bishop or to the precepts of the Catholic Church as outlined by the Pope in Rome. We might have a shortage of priests, but there sometimes seems to be no shortage of popes.Whether anyone likes it or not, Catholic schools expect Catholic parents who want to enroll their kids in Catholic school to be practicing Catholics.Now some people seem to not know what it means to be a practicing Catholic, some prefer to be cafeteria Catholics, and some just play coy and pretend not to know; they seem to prefer a long discussion that ultimately leads nowhere.This is not that complicated a matter.
Four things we can all agree on:1.Its more than likely the women did this as a publicity stuntwhy would the women voluntarily subject the little girl to a teaching the women were fundamentally opposed to?Mark,There is absolutely no reason to conclude this based on the evidence we have so far. If you look through all the news coverage, you will find no statement from the lesbian couple, and virtually no information about them. The child is enrolled in this school this year, but will not be permitted to re-enroll next year. It is not as if the couple tried to enroll their child in school and made a stink when they were turned down. One wonders, of course, why this has become an issue now. As I said, we have no information, so this is just speculation, but it is as informed as your own. It is not difficult to imagine that one or two parents in the parish discovered that two women living discretely in the parish and sending their child to the parish school were a lesbian couple, whereupon they went to the parish or the archdiocese to make a fuss.Once again it is necessary to point out that this child is in preschool, and one doubts that any Catholic preschool teaches 5-year-olds about the evils of same-sex marriage. And, once again, why do non-Catholics go to Catholic schools? If you must believe everything you are taught in Catholic school, or believe everything the Church teaches if you send your children to Catholic school, then the only people who would send their children to Catholic school would be Catholics.
Whether anyone likes it or not, Catholic schools expect Catholic parents who want to enroll their kids in Catholic school to be practicing Catholics.Ken,How do we know the lesbian parents are Catholics? Since Denver Catholic schools allow non-Catholics to enroll in their schools, I am not even sure your statement makes sense. It would mean non-practicing Catholics could not enroll their children in Catholic school, but non-Catholics could enroll their children in Catholic school. Would you approve of a Catholic school that booted children who were practicing Catholics but whose parents were not? Suppose parents had dropped out of the Church but nevertheless wanted their children raised as Catholics, dropped them off at Church on Sunday, and so on. Should those children not be allowed to attend Catholic school?
"people in general and some American Catholics in particular, simply do not like to be told what to do".Indeed. It's kind of funny to watch. French Catholics could not care less. They simply do not pay attention, and priests know that there is no point in telling them what to do.
"One wonders, of course, why this has become an issue now.... It is not difficult to imagine that one or two parents in the parish discovered that two women living discretely in the parish and sending their child to the parish school were a lesbian couple, whereupon they went to the parish or the archdiocese to make a fuss."That was exactly my thought when I first read about it in the Denver blogs and papers! Schoolyard politics can be really harsh.
While a pastor/priest promises obedience (I think we've discussed this before) I thought we agreed it's no t blind obedienc e -qwhich surely subservient Ken suggests.To say they don't know the answer here is coppin gout to the whole issue of how far we're moving from the pastoral and the credible.Mark, your assumptio nof motives betrays how ingrained your own prejudices are.God help us from thej Church of Chaput, Burke, etc!
"Even if she did repent, the child would always be there, which would always be a scandal, right?"Wrong. Illefgitimate people don't give scandal, their parents do. Or others' *take* scandal. The prejudice against the illegitimate is appalling.Jim P. --Thanks for the text from the Catechism. It makes sense as one particular meaning of the term.Ken --You haven't even BEGUN to answer David's question about Protestant children being allowed in Catholic schools.
DavidOK - don't address the hypotheticals - they were simply illustrative.Just answer the question. Is there some public and ongoing behavior by a parent that the Church could consider scandalous enough to not permit a child to attend a Catholic school? Anything at all?Frankly, if you don't think there is anything then I can accept your indignation. If there is, then your concern for the child is just another way to attack the Church's teaching on homosexuality.

Madeleine Appleton 'Lili' Howes
Madeleine Appleton "Lili" Howes, 61, of North Fayston, passed away in the comfort of her home and family on Monday, July 30, 2012.
A light has gone out and we will never be the same. Lili was a mother, grandmother, wife, lover, friend, sister, teacher and mentor, as well as so many other things to so many people. She lived life, sometimes on the edge, but always with joy, gusto and love. She took care of almost everyone at some time and they in return took care of her. She didn't follow the rules but they were never made for her anyway.
Lili was the daughter of Kenneth Howes Jr. and the late Augusta (Wolcott) Howes. She found the love of her life in Bruce Dunbar who in return not only understood her but allowed her to soar and picked her up when she fell.
Her girls, Anna Gebhardt and Molly Ciminello, have her strength, beauty and brains and will learn to use them as they age, just as their mother did.
Her grandchildren, Immanuel, Angelo, Leviah and Augustus, each carry within them an essence that is her. She is loved and missed by her siblings, Frances Valiente, Anna Betz and Kenneth "Obie" Harrington-Howes.
When Lili learned that she had cancer, she fought the disease with a calmness and peacefulness that left most of us behind. She approached death with dignity and grace, taking care of those around her and loving everyone who called or showed up to visit. She genuinely liked and brought out the best in everyone she met. She was truly someone who added zest to living. The world may be a little dimmer without such a bright spirit, but now we are all shining twice as bright having known her. Lili was so alive, so wonderful, we will miss her always.
Services will be private for family. For those who wish, memorial gifts would be appreciated to Vermont Adaptive Ski and Sports (www.vermontadaptive.org) or to Central Vermont Home Health and Hospice, 600 Granger Road, Barre, VT 05641 (www.cvhhh.org).

Patients with Urologic Cancers will be cared for by doctors from our Urologic Cancers team.
National Expertise in Diagnosing and Treating
Your Urologic Cancers physicians are full-time Penn faculty who have dedicated their clinical and research careers to improving our ability to diagnose and treat.
They are relentless in the pursuit of the very best clinical outcome and quality of life for each patient treated.
Penn hematologists-oncologists have extensive experience in urologic cancer treatment and research. If you need chemotherapy, targeted therapy, vaccine therapy, immunotherapy or hormonal therapy, they'll oversee this aspect of your care. These specialists are actively involved in planning your overall treatment.Ravi Amaravadi, MD
Interventional Radiology is a medical specialty that uses image-guided, minimally invasive diagnostic and treatment techniques that are often an alternative to surgery. Interventional radiologists are highly trained in imaging, radiation safety, the performance of medical procedures, and patient management. Penn's Interventional Radiology Division offers the diagnosis and treatment of a variety of diseases using minimally invasive techniques. Many conditions that previously required traditional open surgery can now be treated with small catheters or other devices guided by radiologic imaging, allowing for a faster recovery, and a less costly procedure.Mandeep Dagli, MD
If radiation treatment is recommended, you'll receive a consultation with a Penn radiation oncologist who is a leader in the management of urologic cancers. They're recognized for techniques that target radiation precisely to the tumor site while sparing normal tissue. Penn radiation oncologists are experts in Intensity-modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT), Image Guided Radiation therapy (IGRT) and are pioneering the use of proton therapy.Justin Bekelman, MD
Radiologists are experts in diagnosing disease through the use of x-rays and other imaging techniques such as scans and ultrasound. Penn urologic radiologists perform a wide variety of diagnostic and interventional procedures for patients with known or suspected urologic cancers. Penn is the only academic medical center in our region with the clinical expertise and depth of knowledge to support a separate Genitourinary (GU) Radiology Division.Peter H. Arger, MD
Our Penn urologists are world renowned experts who have made significant contributions to the knowledge base of urologic oncology, including cutting edge surgical techniques, such as nerve-sparring and robotically-assisted prostatectomy and surgical treatment techniques that minimize side effects such as those that preserve urinary and sexual function.Victor L.

The History of the Brown Theatre
1925 The Brown Theatre opens on October 5, with Elsie Janis in a revue called Puzzles. The theater is named for J. Graham Brown, Indiana native and longtime Louisville resident. Modeled after New York's famous Music Box Theatre, the Brown boasts a 40' x 40' stage that is the equal to anything in New York except the Hippodrome.
1930s With the Great Depression, road bookings dry up, and the Brown is leased to the Fourth Avenue Amusement Company as a movie theater.
1962 The Brown is renovated to once again stage live performances.
1971 After another renovation, the theater is sold to the Louisville Board of Education and is operated under contract to the Louisville Theatrical Association. The theater is subsequently rechristened The Macauley Theatre, after an earlier Louisville theater located on Walnut Street (now Muhammad Ali Boulevard).
1982 The Broadway-Brown Partnership is formed and purchases the theater and the adjoining hotel in an effort to rejuvenate the southern end of Louisville's downtown business district.
1995 The dressing rooms are renovated in preparation for the premiere of Stage Door Charlie, a musical starring Tommy Tune. The event is staged as a fundraiser, and the following year a new roof is put on the building.
1997 The Fund for the Arts acquires the building and undertakes to finance the remainder of the $4.2 million restoration. The Kentucky Center is contracted to manage the theater. Generous gifts soon follow from the W. L. Lyons Brown Foundation, the Brown family and Brown-Forman Corporation.
1998 The newly re-rechristened W. L. Lyons Brown Theatre includes new stage equipment and rigging, a modern computerized marquee and a new heating and air conditioning system. A further gift from Owsley Brown Frazier results in the main reception area adjoining Fifth Third Conference Center being named the Frazier Lobby.

I have myself pointed out what I see as a similar contradiction in mainstream conservatism since the neoconservative coup following 2001: how can people support enormous expense and sacrifice to save the poor people of Iraq, and yet resist much smaller expenses to help the poor people of America? It makes little sense to me for a country to consider humanitarian reasons sufficient to expend the amount of blood and treasure we've spent on Iraq or similar ventures, and yet consider humanitarianism insufficient for passing social programs that could ameliorate suffering of people in our own country. (Perhaps the apotheosis of this is when S-CHIP went down, at a time when we were spending billions a month in Iraq.) This is a simplification, of course; we got into Iraq under (bogus) national security pretenses as well. But the neoconservative line is one that places a great deal of importance in humanitarian ideals, and our extended conversation on Iraq and neoconservatism is often concerned with this principle question: what obligation does the United States have to bring democracy and peace to the oppressed people of the world?
Now, as ryan strongly argued, that's equally a question for me. How can I support social programs designed to reduce hardship for Americans, and not support military/humanitarian intervention in places like Darfur? (And I don't, by the way, support US invasion in Darfur, although the question of a UN intervention would be more complicated.) This appears to be one of those classic "turn it back around" questions in bipolar politics. Well, like many of those questions, both sides aren't, in fact, playing with equal hands. And I hold the ace: the people in America who could benefit from expensive social programs are citizens of my country; the people outside American who could benefit from expensive military intervention are not.
That may seem like a pretty cruel statement, and one of simple jingoism or nationalism. But don't misunderstand. This has nothing to do with compassion. It has everything to do with democracy.
Like many other mushy lefties, I do look forward to a time in human history when the state becomes an unnecessary contrivance. The fact is, though, that for the foreseeable future, we'll have the nation-state, and those states will be the shells for organizations of civic government. As long as that's the case, national self-determination is a prerequisite for democracy. (I made the case here.) I have great sympathy for the beleagured people of the earth, but that doesn't overwhelm the fact that I am a (small-d) democrat. As long as nation states are the organizational tool that we used to divide systems of government, coercive attemtps to change other countries through military projection are antidemocratic, even if it really is for their own good.
This is unsatisfying for some of the people posting in comments. MikeF says
An absolute certainty that hundreds of thousands of Rwandans would have welcomed our assistance during the 1990s, and that those who wouldn't have welcomed us had forfeited a right to have any say in the matter. Same with Sudan. Iraq is a different question of course. But we cannot treat these cases from the standpoint of dogmatic opposition to ever using force. Sometimes there is a clear moral imperative to do so.But here's the crucial thing: as long as we are the ones determining which countries are and are not longing for American intervention, intervening is antithetical to freedom. It would be of great moral convenience to superpowers if they really knew when the people of a country wanted to be invaded. But as long as the superpower is the one determining the criteria for righteous invasion, it's just more imperial privilege. Suppose MikeF is right, and hundreds of thousands of Rwandans wanted us to come in, guns blazing. Is that fact alone enough to justify an American invasion? Would 200,000 people be enough, or would we need 400,000? Is it a matter of what percentage of the Rwandan population wanted it? Is a majority enough? Two-thirds? Surely, the minority rights that we believe in should include the right not to submit to an armed invasion. I'm particularly disturbed by MikeF's assurance that there are people who have forfeited their right to oppose American invasion. That's a convenient position for any potential occupier to take. Not to harp on Vladimir Putin, but suppose he said simply that the South Ossetians who opposed Russian intervention had forfeited their right to an opinion. I don't believe many in the Western world would have accepted that notion. As long as it's the invader that decides when it's righteous to invade, it's no different from any other justification for invasion.
I'm not trying to be cute. I'm saying that people in foreign countries lack the wisdom, the neutrality or the authority necessary to be arbiters of when it is appropriate or correct to invade other nations for their own good. This is why I would restrict American intervention to times of self-defense, either following an attack on ourselves or our close military allies, or in the specific and limited instance when our country or our allies are in immediate and obvious threat of aggression. I am also sympathetic to the idea that the international community has some say in military intervention, but I am decidely agnostic (maybe confused is the better word) about institutions like the UN having the authority to authorize war. (The problem with international bodies like the UN is that the nations with the least say are precisely the nations most likely to be the subject of "benevolent" intervention.)
What would this mean for American history? It means I supported the invasion of Afghanistan and the removal of the Taliban, though I disagreed with much of the prosecution of that war. It meas I would have supported World War II. It means that I would have been open to a meaningful discussion about Desert Storm, because of the aggression of Saddam and the consensus of the international community, although my impulse is to oppose that intervention. I would have been opposed to World War I. I would have been opposed to Korea, and to Vietnam. I was opposed to Iraq II. I am opposed to intervention in Darfur. This doesn't to me seem like an advocacy of "turtleing".
I am, in fact, sympathetic to the oppressed people of the world, and while I won't beat my breast about it, I hope you believe it. What can be done for them? First, we can use soft power (economic, cultural, diplomatic) to attempt to create change. We can act as an example of democracy and right action to inspire indigenous resistance movements. Most importantly, we can stop supporting so many oppressive regimes in the name of securing American interests, like we are currently doing with the murderous authoritarians in Uzbekistan, or the oppressive House of Saud. First do no harm.
More controversially, I think that if we want more people to be free of oppressive governments, we've got to relax the standards by which we decide what exactly constitutes terrorism. I submit to you that there have been very few successful civil liberation movements that haven't involved some forms of violent resistance to the status quo government. (Even the Indian resistance wasn't free from violence.) While I would love for internal resistance movements to be able to secure control from dictators and autocrats without resorting to violence, if we really have compassion for their plights, I don't think we can condemn them as terrorists for using force to try and gain control of their countries. It's something to think about.
Ultimately, what I find most interesting about this discussion is how it demonstrates the resiliency of neoconservatism. That movement is not as dead in American politics as people seem to think. Surely, I would have though Iraq would have rendered conversations like this one largely irrelevant. We are arguing about "we shoulds" when the real question is the "we cans". Iraq demonstrates that we lack the wisdom and strength necessary to remake the world in the kind of humane way we would want to. There simply are too many variables, too many problems, too many unknowns. I look at people who want to invade Darfur by force, and I can't understand what lessons they've taken from Iraq at all. Getting involved in counter-insurgency in an impoverished Muslim country with many competing factions and a virtual guarantee of armed resistance, in a geopolitically volatile geographical area.... We can't take part in that kind of adventure anymore. We don't have the right, in my opinion, and we certainly lack the ability.
Or consider Iran. It is absolutely not clear that the Iranian people would want us to depose the mullahs. Some would, some wouldn't. The imposition of what we think is right at the behest of some but to the contrary of others is simply inimical to democracy. Meanwhile, you're talking about a vast country, with many more people than Iraq, a far more capable conventional military, and the assurance of a far more organized and deliberately anti-occupation insurgency than the one we saw in Iraq. Invading Iran is just a non-starter, or would be, if we had a foreign policy apparatus in this country that hadn't spun off into madness. Do I want the people of Iran to be ruled by oppressive, anti-Semitic theocrats? Of course not. But what I want, what we want, is not always the only question.
I have compassion for the oppressed people of the world. But while I don't think democracy itself will solve the world's problems, I think that honoring democratic values is the best vehicle for acting in the world with integrity and morality, and spreading democracy or peace by force of arms makes no sense and doesn't work. It's a sad choice, but that is only another way to say that it is the kind of choice we are often forced to make in a cruel world.

- 11" Shaft is great for any calf
- Fully leather lined
- Ultimate flex insole
- Long lasting leather outsole
- Stylish snip toe

The El Paso boots by Dan Post are a great boot for any contemporary cowgirl! These boots are 11" tall, making them a great fit for almost any calf. They are fully leather lined which allows your feet to breath when wearing your boots. The El Paso style is definitely a modern look with the snip toe and the tall fashion heel. The outsole and heel are both made from stacked leather, making them a great choice for the dance floor, or everyday wear. The Ultimate Flex Insole features a genuine Poron insole cushion with microbial features to reduce foot odor and also reducing step shock. The three part insole core gives flexibility to the foot and stability in the heel and arch. Comfort from Step One.

Comments about Dan Post Women's El Paso Western Boots:
First, I must say that I never thought I'd buy cowboy boots. I got these in tan for my upcoming Nashville wedding to change into at my reception when my feet will inevitably hurt from the 4.25 in heels I plan to wear for the ceremony (so I got my dress hemmed for my height in heels and bustled for my height in boots).
I haven't had them long so I can't speak to their durability, but they appear well-made. I inadvertently ended up doing a lot of running and walking in them the few days I've worn them so far - no discomfort (and this is coming from a flip flops and sneakers girl).
Qualities I sought that these deliver: real leather; decent heel and a max of an 11" shaft (I'm short so a shorter overall boot with a not too short heel was important); not too crazy, flashy, or "cowboy" so I might actually want to wear them beyond the wedding in my non-southern city girl life; distressed look without being so worn looking that they look ragged; not shiny; no white or bright threading where the boot leather meets the sole or anywhere; not cheap looking; comfortable.
A factor I didn't think to look for which these boots happen to have and which I now appreciate - a quiet tread. You won't make the loud clomping noises that come with hard-soled shoes and yet you don't have the cheap look of an all rubber sole. The brown wooden heel is covered by a strip of black rubber and the rest of the sole appears to be (and smells like) a hard leather. In addition to the quiet, the soft soles give you the benefit of shock absorption for comfort.
My one gripe, and the reason I took off one star in my review, is that I noticed some clumps of a black, hard glue-like substance in a couple spots near the base of the boots. I scraped one off with my nail and regretted it because it left a light spot that was more noticeable than the original black spot. I decided it wasn't worth the hassle of an exchange as nobody, or at least very few people, will ever be hanging out around my feet to notice.
I have slender but muscular calves. I can slip in and out of my boots without using my hands and can see some leeway around my legs when they're on, but I suspect that if your calves are larger than average, it might be a tight squeeze. So far I've worn them with leggings, skinny jeans, and even regular jeans shoved into the boots.
As for size, I am a 5.5 in most shoes. 6 was the smallest size offered here so I gave it a shot. I have size 6 Sorrel rain boots that are much bigger on me than these size 6 boots. Though I have a little wiggle room, I actually think that if they came in a 5.5, that would be too small for me.
In just one weekend of wear I've already received many compliments. Very happy with these boots!

Campus Life
Do you like to sing, dance or play a musical instrument? Are you interested in learning about foreign cultures? Do you enjoy athletic competition, the great outdoors, debating policy initiatives or doing community service work?
Willamette has more than 100 student organizations to help you make the most of your college experience, but if you can't find one that supports your passion, it's easy to start your own — and find others who share your interest. Just ask the students who created Wulapalooza or revived the rugby team.
And Willamette students don't just join the club — they lead it. Governing bodies such as Associated Students of Willamette University give students a chance to play a major role in shaping campus life, while other organizations reach out to the Salem community and beyond.If you're looking to make a difference, consider joining one of our many philanthropic programs — from our Greek organizations to Community Mentors (CMs) to the Community Service Learning program that connects students with service opportunities nationwide. There's a reason Willamette was one of just six universities in the nation honored for service — our students contribute more than 25,000 volunteer hours annually, reflecting the Willamette motto, "Not unto ourselves alone are we born."
Enhance Your College ExperienceThis is just a sampling of the opportunities available for you:
- Play in a music ensemble or try out for an upcoming theatrical production.
- Compete in 20 varsity-level sports or field a team for an intramural league.
- Indulge your active lifestyle by hiking, camping, climbing, skiing or rafting.
- Learn how to roast a pig or dance luau-style.
- Brush up on your French, get your poetry published or meet others who share your interest in chemistry.
- Sharpen your gardening skills while growing food at Zena Farm.

When Google started to support multiple sign-in, many people complained that the feature was limited to 3 Google accounts. Now you can sign in to 10 accounts at the same time and use services like Gmail, Google Calendar or Google Reader.
After signing in to 10 accounts, Google shows this error message: "You are already signed in to the maximum number of accounts. If you want to use another account you must sign out of all Google Accounts then sign in to the account you want."
The percentage of Google users that have so many accounts must be quite small, but this feature would be really useful if it supported more Google services. Some Google users have different accounts for AdSense, AdWords, Blogger, App Engine etc.
