On April 21, the San Francisco Chronicle reported that five members of the Dominican Sisters of Mary Mother of the Eucharist walked out of their classrooms last Friday rather than tolerate pro-LGBT literature in their classrooms.
The Chronicle reported: “The five members of the Dominican Sisters of Mary order exited their classrooms Friday as students began handing out flyers at the Kentfield school promoting a nationwide Day of Silence.
At issue was Friday’s annual Day of Silence, promoted by the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network — whose corporate sponsors include McDonald’s, Target, Disney/ABC, Wells Fargo, Morgan Stanley, Google and the NBA. It bills itself as a group of ‘students, parents, and teachers that tries to effect positive change in schools,’ but the nuns at Marin Catholic High see it as anti-Catholic.
The school declined to participate in the Day of Silence. Instead, a morning prayer was read over the school’s PA system ‘to acknowledge and pray for students everywhere who have the experience of being ostracized, marginalized or silenced by bullying,’ school officials wrote in their letter.
‘Our intention was not to take part in a Day of Silence, but rather take a moment in the morning to pray together as a school community,’ the letter to parents said.
Unfortunately, the administrators said, the school’s message was ‘compromised and misinterpreted’ the night before when it was linked on Facebook to the campaign by the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network, ‘an activist group with which we are not affiliated.’
They came after Archbishop Cordileone then Father Illo and Father Driscoll at Mary Star of The Sea Church for having the TLM and only boys serve at the altar which of course is the correct thing to do since it fosters vocations and now the good sisters are next in line for destruction, how long before we all wake up and make a stand against the modernists and the devil before we are next????
JANEK, you are mistaken: the Dominican Sisters moved here and started teaching at Marin Catholic High School under the reign of Archbishop Niederauer.
A bit later, Archbishop Cordileone took over.
They were here in the Archdiocese of San Francisco before Father Illo also.
Marin Catholic is a mess. Someone should ask these sisters why they signed the petition against Archbishop Cordileone. Have they suddenly come to their senses? Or just abandoning their classrooms at what would be a teachable moment?
Please give us a link to the names of the sisters on the petition so we can see for ourselves.
Otherwise it’s just hearsay and gossip.
These Sisters DID NOT sign the petition against the Archbishop! Wherever did you get that WRONG information? No priest or Religious signed the ad in the Chronicle. https://www.sfgate.com/news/item/Catholics-Ad-38983.php
“…but the nuns at Marin Catholic High see it as anti-Catholic.”
This is not just a matter of “how the nun’s see it”, but rather the reality that this type of subversive/perversion is in fact anti-Catholic. And that’s the point. Catholic teaching is not a matter of opinion as many have been erroneous led to believe by way of promoting the false “virtue” of tolerance.
Yeah, sisters. Keep the Faith!
So a few students, on their own, passed out flyers? If they were doing it in the sisters’ classrooms instead of coming to order for the lesson, they were wrong. However if it was outside of class only, and not part of an official school event, I don’t see why the sisters should have walked out. Does anybody know more?
This article, as written, makes no sense at all.
The Marin IJ recounts a bit better:

The school prays for those who have experienced “bullying,” and the school doesn’t get how that endorses the gay agenda? As Forrest Gump said, stupid is as stupid does.
Perhaps the gays did the country a service by highlighting bullying against anybody. I was bullied as a middle schooler and it was very ugly.
I am sorry that you were bullied.
I just watched a couple videos on youtube about what people would say to their bullies and it was just people who had been hurt by one person’s insensitive or mean remark. Such comments are hurtful and can negatively effect a person for years or even decades but…
That is not bullying.
Bullying is unwanted, aggressive behavior among school aged children that involves a real or perceived power imbalance. The behavior is repeated, or has the potential to be repeated, over time. Bullying includes actions such as making threats, spreading rumors, attacking someone physically or verbally, and excluding someone from a group on purpose.
And I was fat and was bullied.
And my good friend had buck teeth and was bullied.
So what?
Promoting the homosexual lifestyle is a Mortal Sin.
The same is true of fornicators and adulterers.
I doubt if you though “so what” at the time, Ted B. I hope you wouldn’t think “so what” if your son or daughter was bullied for fat or buck teeth.
I don’t know how old you are, but the school experiences of today’s middle-aged adults are hardly good examples of how schools should work.
Gays are hardly in a position to tell anybody how things “should” be. This problem doesn’t start with “bullying,” real or imagined. Moral society needs to stop letting the homosexuals and their supporters change the topic. Lives need to be reformed in this controversy, and it isn’t those of the “bullies.” After all, entire districts are taken over by this raging perversion, anyone ever heard of the Castro? The ‘bullies” would get a district, but there aren’t enough of them.
Gays are not concerned about “bullying” within Catholic school walls.
They merely want to get a foothold to promote sodomy.
End of that subject.
Gen 19:1-29; Rom 1:24-27; 1 Cor 6:9-10; 1 Tim 1:10; Jude 1:7.
CCC: 2357, 2358, 2359, & 2396.
Kids (including mine) are going to get teased/bullied for reasons other kids might think of.
And they have to learn how to handle themselves – regarding verbal abuse. Do not cripple your children emotionally.
Ted B,
Are you serious? DO you really believe that bullying doesn’t happen at Catholic schools? If so, you’re delusional. Frankly, I think you’re a pathetic liar.
You were fat, Ted, which means you were committing the sin of gluttony. Does that mean that if someone stood up and said that fat kids should not be bullied, that it would have been immoral to do so because they would then be supporting the sin of gluttony?
JonJ, no mortal sin should be tolerated.
Yes, kids of all types and in all schools bully others.
If any teacher sees this, she/he must stop it.
You need to learn to get over it, and forgive those who bullied you.
You are behaving as if you were still in grade school.
Well Ted,
If bullying is wrong, it isn’t wrong to ask others to stop or to point out that it occurs.
In fact, acting against what the CCC tells us about treating homosexuals with respect and dignity is allowing Satan to corrupt us by a devotion to tribalism (fight for my side) instead of devotion to Truth.
By enticing the nuns into their protest against a theologically sound proposition communicates that bullying homosexuals is moral behavior. What a victory for evil!
What a joke. The practiced perverted sexuality of gays and their propaganda which inculcates and indoctrinates has never done anybody a favor, unless you consider helping send somebody to hell a favor. All the nonsense about bullying is false flag hysteria for the ulterior motive/agenda to get society to normalize and approve homosexual perversion. Somebody got bullied? Maybe they were walking around flaunting their perversion and “offended” the “bully.” Exactly what did happen? How many times did it happen? How many perverted homosexual acts were committed? A lot of people need to get a life, and in a hurry.
Ralph ,,, I middle\school I was bullied because I was just plain weird by the other girls standards. By the time I was in high school, I realized I was gay and came out … kinda, sorta. There was a little bit of snickering, gossip etc, However, the High School would not tolerate bullying. PERIOD. Not for any reason, be it sexuality, class, appearnce or what ever. That’s how it ought to be in every school….especially our Catholic ones!
And the schools shouldn’t stupidly participate in anti-bullying campaigns without a clue that the anti-bullying movement was started by gay operatives as part of the agenda to “normalize” homosexuality. “Anti-bullying” didn’t just coincidently appear at the same moment in cultural history as the homosexual “coming-out” party. And that’s a duh already. It’s shameful that so-called Catholic schools stand idly by as gays “come out,” accepting this as healthy and normal. “Coming out” has nothing to do with Catholicism, it’s an invention of secular Godless society. If Catholic schools have any inclination whatsoever to do what they “ought,” first and foremost is to preach the Gospel on the evil nature of homosexual acts. As I’ve said before, the gay movement has successfully disabled Catholic circuitry by framing the discussion in terms of bullying, and the Catholic school administrators are too weak to do anything about it.
Well said Ted, connect the dots it is the main goal of the secular left and their homo-allies to destroy any remnant of the Christian West…
This only proves the point of what Archbishop Cordileone is trying to stop!
Glad they walked out and stood their ground. its about time. Catholics need to do more…..Good for them!
I taught there 1984-5, when this nonsense would never have started because we had real nuns then, too (Holy Family Sisters) and an orthodox administration. On “Day of Whine” my class prayed for Catholics suffering real discrimination for their faith.
What kind of proof is there that these traditional and ‘real deal’ Sisters signed the letter against the Archbishop? I personally don’t believe they would ever do that, these Sisters are not the ‘radical, feminist’ nuns on the bus group!!!
I agree Diane. Where’s the proof. I love these beautiful Nuns.
They did not sign the ad! https://www.sfgate.com/news/item/Catholics-Ad-38983.php
The school’s message would not have been “compromised and misinterpreted” if it included that homosexual acts are gravely depraved and intrinsically disordered.
Sisters = Great; School Administration = uh, uh, uh . . . stupid?
What is going on with this school, that all of a sudden the good and great sisters caught the scent of such sinful behavior that they had to leave? The Archbishop needs to look carefully at the facts here, as it seems more than likely that the school administration was trying to secretly imbed the “Day of Silence” into the school, notwithstanding the Archbishops obvious disinclination to participate. (Prayer “against bullying” is nothing more than code for laying groundwork to “welcome” homosexual behavior, as is obvious from campaigns in high schools and colleges everywhere.)
This is not a kind of “oops” moment for the school administrators, but evidence that they were caught in the act of subversion. If this supposition regarding their intent is incorrect, then, alternatively, the school administrators need to be fired for gross incompetence. The good sisters played the vital role of “[moral] canaries in the coal mine [of the Faith]”. Thank God for them, and for the great choice by the Archbishop in bringing them to San Francisco. Perhaps Abp. Cordileone might also consider reaching out to the Benedictines of Mary, Queen of Apostles, to ask them to relocate, or to start a West Coast House of Ephesus.
This is exactly the sort of attitude that disgusts me about so called “devout” catholics.
Is it moral to bully gay people? The CCC says homosexuals should be treated with dignity and respect. Thus, a demonstration to support the idea that gays should not be bullied is actually no contrary to Catholic morality.
But, bigots like St. Christopher and Michael McDermott don’t see it that way. ANY mention of homosexuals or gays that doesn’t involve ridicule or abuse is considered support. It seems to me that you can make clear that you don’t condone homosexual acts while supporting the idea that homosexuals do not deserve social abuse.
Of course, liars like St. Christopher claim such things don’t happen. Where did you grow up, Mars? Gay bashing was an everyday occurrence at my oh so catholic (all male) high school. Are you telling me you’ve never played in a Saturday night poker game?
Objecting to gays speaking out about being bullied suggests to bigots that they SHOULD be bullied. That’s how hypocrits who enjoy hurling abuse like Michael McDermott can think they are good Catholics.
These sisters are part of a beautiful, faithful order of nuns working diligently and joyfully to bring the truth of our Catholic faith to high schools nationwide. I guarantee you they signed the petitions in FAVOR of Archbishop Cordileone’s desire to ensure our Catholic schools are truly Catholic!
That is correct! The Sisters did not sign the ad against the Archbishop.
https://www.sfgate.com/news/item/Catholics-Ad-38983.php
You’re confusing the ad with the petition against the modified morals clause in teachers’ contracts.
So let’s see the proof that the sisters signed the petition then.
(Hard to tell if you are the Anonymous who claimed they did up topic at 9:11 on April 22. This is addressed to that Anonymous.)
These nuns are part of the completely orthodox and part of the Mother House in Ann Arbor MI https://www.sistersofmary.org/
The thought that they would sign a petition against their Archbishop is laughable.
I agree. I would have to see concrete proof before I believe that. There are nuns out there, however, that are that liberal. Some may be in the SF area, but not the DSOM.
They certainly did not sign the ad in the Chronicle!
I would hope the statement that the nuns in question signed the petition against the archbishop was a genuine mistake, and not a lie told in order to malign the sisters. These sisters belong to an order of young (all the more remarkable for their youth) nuns who are deeply committed to the authentic teachings of the Church. They wear habits, practice communal life, and are meticulous about how they pass on the genuine teachings of the Church to their students. It is no surprise that they would protest strongly against the goings on at the school.
Since when do “students” run the schools ? ? ? ? ?
If they put out non-Catholic propaganda, expel them. Let them attend public schools.
The Nuns needed to take the flyers, tear them up, and throw them in the basket.
End of subject.
Letting kids run any school is nuts.
Ted B. Your comments sum it up!
Here is the ad in the SF Chronicle wherein as you can see for yourselves, no priest or Religious signed against the Archbishop!
https://www.sfgate.com/news/item/Catholics-Ad-38983.php
They are talking about this:
https://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2015/03/03/catholic-school-teachers-archdiocese-san-francisco-archbishop-salvatore-cordileone-morality-clauses-abortion-contraception-same-sex-marriage/
It says 68 teachers from Marin Catholic signed it. It does not say that these nuns did. Can anyone document that the sisters there signed it.
As I recall, it was reported here at Cal-Catholic that all teachers but three at Marin Catholic signed the petition against Apb. Cordileone.
It seems to me that for the most part Cal-Catholic reprints articles from other sources. So the “all teachers but three” citation should be traced down to its source. Which may or may not be agenda driven.
I just traced down the Cal-Catholic article. It was quoting the article Anonymous linked to above. From CBS. Your trusted Bay Area Carholic news source LOL.
Sam Singer once worked for CBS! (Oh that probably means nothing…)
https://singersf.com/team/sam-singer/
I read the list of names of the people who signed the ad, an could not find any nuns in it. Check the San Francisco Chronicle for the ad and you can find the list of signatures.
The students who passed out the literature VIOLATED the administration’s decision not to take part in the Day of Silence.
The students who passed out the literature also BULLIED any students who refused to take their pamphlets – talk about a double standard!
I believe the Dominican Sisters did the proper thing in talking with the administration and then going back to their convent – why should they be held captive by some disobedient students who chose to take matters into their own hands, pass out materials which the leaders of Marin Catholic High School had already prohibited, and then use peer pressure to get EVERYONE to take the materials and thus “endorse” their agenda?
Good for the Sisters – it took a lot of courage and integrity to do what they did, and I like to think it will be a teachable moment not only for the students, but also for the parents who spend good money for that CATHOLIC school, and for the leaders of the school. Not to mention the teachers who criticized the Sisters for leaving. Leaving was the most gentle, but firm, way of making a statement of good conscience about these students getting out of hand.
If this is TRUE, then there needs to be some EXPULSIONS of students immediately !
( If any were non-students handing out heretical fliers, the police should have been called for trespassing on private school grounds, and any other charges as appropriate.)
Not necessarily Anon.
Students still have some measure of 1st Amendment rights within school walls, no matter what administrators say.
JonJ, there are no first amendment rights to violate school policies in any private schools.
Live by their rules or go to the public school.
It is that simple.
Why is it good that they ran away? Why didn’t they speak Catholic teaching knowing that those who are pro-whatever are staying silent?
Sounds like a good day to teach the Faith.
SOME of what the commenters in CCD claimed in the last 48 hours:
1) The Archbishop’s conscience clauses NEVER mention the word “homosexual”, though it uses the term 7 times (and commentators on CCD said that I am a liar for saying it does…and even though I had never actually even raised that as an issue in the thread).
2) The homeless sheltered under at SFs Cathedral were happy to be cleansed by cold showers, especially in summer (even though, the showers were hourly winter nights COLD, AND they used umbrellas to protect themselves.)
3) Archbishop Finn, was convicted of shielding a child-porn wielding priest from police scrutiny, who finally after years resigned, was described in the comments on CCD as basically a good man. (even though he would be unfit to teach catechism in the Archdiocese of Boston).
4) Five nuns were so frightened by students who called for a day of silence that they retreated to their convent, where they prayed in silence for the day.
5) Efforts to raise awareness of cruel bullying were met with comments basically saying “oh so what, bullying is good for kids.” Even while they call the reasoned and prayerful opposition to Archbishop’s conscience clause “bullying”.
It does not matter YFC. Homosexual ACTS are always a Mortal Sin and can never be approved.
As well as fornication.
No child should be bullied for any reason – this also includes fat kids, kids with crooked teeth, very short kids, kids that are unattractive, etc. etc. etc.
Homosexuals should not be singled out as special regarding bullying.
This would have been a good time to teach teens about the MORTAL sinfulness of homosexual acts, (as well as fornication) using the Bible and the CCC.
Don’t you think, YFC ? :)
When those supporting mortal sin promote something, use it as a teaching opportunity for the Catholic Faith.
I agree with you that no child should be bullied for any reason MAC, I’m glad we are in agreement. And that is exactly the message of the day of silence.
Wrong YFC the message of the gay day of silence is make us conform to an agenda that demands we accept gays as normal
Prove your allegation Canisius.
….perhaps you should prove your position regarding bullying in general and petition that the “Gay” day of silence cease and desist from their divisive promotion of that which is focused on all things homosexual to “include” the dynamic that bullying is what is unacceptable. This hyper-focus on gayness and/or that being the pivot point of bullying is what causes others to understand that the issue is really about promoting homosexuality as somehow fine and dandy and not that bullying is wrong.
Disprove them YFC,,,, try speaking out against gays in this country and the entire culture tries to shut you down…
“I agree with you that no child should be bullied for any reason MAC, I’m glad we are in agreement. ”
Stop lying. You are not telling the truth. YOU do believe that innocent children should be bullied. YOU wanted the Christian homeschooling children to be sent back and bullied by the German government. YOU also support homosexual adoption. Innocent helpless children HAVE been bullied into becoming political pawns by the homosexual agenda.
The Vatican has strongly condemned adoption by gay and lesbian parents. The 2003 document, “Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith,” states: “Allowing children to be adopted by persons living in such [same-sex] unions would actually mean doing violence to these children, in the sense that their condition of dependency would be used to place them in an environment that is not conducive to their full human development.”
According to the CCC there are certain sins that cry out to heaven for vengeance. Traditionally, these sins have been categorized as four distinct heinous acts: willful murder, the sin of Sodom, oppression of the poor, and defrauding laborers of their wages.
Homosexual adoption murders the innocence of a child.
Homosexual adoption oppresses the full human development of a child
Homosexual adoption defrauded innocent children
Ignore you’re wicked brand of bullying at you’re own peril. If sodomy is a heinous act that cries out to heaven for vengeance then USING children as pawns to legitimize sodomy….will only cry out to the heaven for vengeance ALL THE MORE.
You obviously don’t know what bullying is, and you don’t seem able to quote me very well either.
The Church has an opinion about the effects on children of adoption by same sex couples which differs greatly from experts int he field. If a person who has never studied something, never really investigated it, and then makes a public statement like the “violence” quote that came from the Vatican, then you have say that the person is speaking from ideology, not from facts. “Doing violence” actually means something concrete. It is not a philosophical notion, or something that can be offered a priori. The Church loses credibility when she speaks out of thin air on factual matters without doing a thorough job of investigating.
….nature has a stake in speaking out to the advantage of children being reared in heterosexual unions, YFC. And nature itself has something to say-without having to “study”-the vacuum created when children are reared without mother and father. (You yourself stated before that it was horrible growing up without homosexual role models – well – think of the poor children reared without the normal patterning of mother and father. And no, YFC, getting outside influences while that at home is not what it should be is no replacement option.)
So this idea of pinning the Church’s stand on the issue as mere “opinion” is doltish and misleading. But that’s the point, isn’t it?
You seem forever to speak from the ideology of believing you can rework nature itself to what your agenda advocates and cast reality as “opinion”. That is a rather odd and unusual “opinion” to take. But you have free will to do so. Something Our Lord has gifted us all with to use to our benefit or no.
The Church, however, is bound by Truth. Unlike even the so-called experts who themselves are biased by so many factors, the society push to elevate man to the position of the creator of Truth being chief among them. But that’s where the money is.
You absolutely do know what bullying is which is likely why you use it so skillfully in your attempts to advance your agenda.
If the Church was really interested in preventing violence against children, it wouldn’t leave priest be alone with them, and it wouldn’t tolerate bishops who tolerate those who commit the violence.
Ann, very good comments and faithful to Church teaching…teaching that was granted by God to man through Jesus and the Holy Spirit, that yfc believes is based on thin air. Yfc never ceases to amaze me….it’s got to be tough knowing more than God and being bullied for it, to boot!
YFC, if *you* were really a fellow Catholic with a Catholic agenda, you would lobby for the Deposit of the Faith, not throwing bias stones in order to divide, conquer, and replace.
Thanks, Dana. Much of every discussion really boils down to whether or not one actually believes that Jesus was/is God Almighty. Many, including those who have allowed for ambiguity, don’t.
God bless – hope you’re enjoying that Latin mass in your area!
You are right YFC no gay priest should be left alone with a child
No Adult in the Catholic Church should be alone with a child unless in a public, open area.
This is policy.
The junior priest under Father Illo was not a gay priest. Yet it was wrong to leave him along with a girl. Canisius, no priest, whether gay OR straight, should be left alone with a child, lest violence might take place. REAL violence, not some artificial made up wishy-washy violence.

In my day in the Catholic school system in the Archdiocese of San Francisco…..we would of never thought of handing out information without Sister’s permission, let alone do it!!! And if we had done it……..it would of been torn up and thrown in the basket and we probably would of been expelled!!! Which as someone else brought up in a post, is a VERY good idea! There has got to be consequences to actions!!!
The REAL bullies are the gays. They go around saying they are bullied when in fact they are the bullies by trying to force people to agree with their perverted lifestyle. Let’s force someone out of a baking business and ruin their livelihood and ruin them financially because they wouldn’t bake a cake for our bogus, non-existent marriage! Let’s ruin a business owners life because they wouldn’t cater pizzas for the gays bogus, non-existent marriage! Get the point? Who are the REAL bullies? Simply go have someone else who agrees with your perversions make you fake, bogus wedding cake! I am so sick and tired of it! They just want to force society to accept their filthy, mortal sins! Not this woman! The end of my fed up rant!
How tragic the sisters sent such a message of discrimination, intolerance and unworthiness to the children under their care. Be most assured these otherwise good women have betrayed the LBGT children in their classes and school. I pray none of these LBGT are driven to suicide by the actions of these 5 Dominican Sisters (who are in a minority my sister, who is a Dominican Sister of Mary Mother of the Eucharist, assures us).
Eline Y.
Your sister should get on the bus with the other disobedient sisters.
If everyone who was told that what they were doing was wrong committed suicide, we would all be dead. From what you are posting you think no one should ever be told anything is wrong. Children and teenagers, according to age level, need to be told that certain actions are wrong and/or unhealthy and why if they attempt to engage in them, ideally by their own parents.
My last post was for E. yurick.
I agree AnneT. The vast majority of people know right from wrong and know intrinsically when they’re doing something against human nature. It is just that too many now believe there is no hell and that death is the end so they’d better seek pleasure and self-fulfillment now while they can…eat, drink and be merry for tomorrow we may die. Also, they use orifices of the body for activities which they were never intended because they don’t believe in God’s Dominion over the earth and all things in…so if they’re men but claim to be women they’re now told that, yes, they’re not only women but can marry men and have children! In a sane society these unfortunate people were given much needed psychological help. In our insane and depraved culture of today these poor souls’ illness is expanded and reinforced. If they’re not complete psychopaths this has to be very troubling not to have a safety net to save them in their weakness. Once you’re in the pit with the person you’re trying to help, you’re both stuck in the pit. Liberals enjoy feeling magnanimous by digging more pits. “You wanna be a tomato? Here ya go pal. We’ll pay for your operation so you can not only be a tomato, but we’ll sign you up for your own reality show! I can see it now…all you veggies get together in a salad bowl, ‘undressing’. Har har!”
Exactly, Dana. I think most of this comes from the fact that too many people want sexual pleasure without the responsibility of having children or raising a family or want the children on their own terms instead of God’s,. so they find all kinds of weird ways to get the pleasure without the responsibility, but nature does not work that way. As Fr. Marx — God rest his soul — of Human Life International said, “God forgives and man forgives, but nature never forgives.” In the long run we all pay for our own actions. The old saying, “You play; you pay”, is as true now as it ever was.
ALL Catholic Schools have an obligation to teach and provide example to ALL students on the DOCTRINE of the FAITH as contained in the “Catechism of the Catholic Church, second edition”.
Otherwise it is false advertising to call themselves a “Catholic” school.
“….the CATECHISM has raised throughout the world, even among non-Christians, and confirms its purpose of being presented as a full, complete exposition of Catholic doctrine, enabling everyone to know what the Church professes, celebrates, lives, and prays in her daily life.” – Pope John Paul II (CCC pg xiv).
Those who do not like it, should go to school elsewhere – such as a public school.
Love it, or leave it. – Parents and Students have a choice.
