KCTV<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The pastor of St. Ann Catholic Church and School in Prairie Village, near Kansas City, sent a letter to parents<\/a> saying that a child had been rejected from the kindergarten program because their parents were of the same sex. The child\u2019s name and gender identity have not been made public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, almost 1000 people signed a petition<\/a> asking the school to admit the child<\/a>. About half the people who signed the petition are members of St. Ann.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOne of the many reasons that we choose to send our children to St. Ann is the welcoming culture, which is central to the original ministry of Jesus Christ,\u201d the petition states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRespectfully, we believe that the decision to deny a child of God access to such a wonderful community and education, based on the notion that his or her parent\u2019s union is not in according with the Church\u2019s teaching in Sacramental marriage, lacks the compassion and mercy of Christ\u2019s message.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The letter says that the church hasn\u2019t been very strict when it comes to requiring all<\/em> students\u2019 parents to follow the church\u2019s teachings on sexuality, citing \u201cvasectomy, IVF, divorce, and remarriage without approved annulment\u201d as examples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
