WTH? Toronto Catholic School Teacher Brags of ‘Trans Jesus’ Icon In Class Prayer Space
Well, if you want to teach LGBT history in Catholic school, why not start with a little story I like to call Sodom and Gomorra.
Or if you don’t wanna’ go too Old Testament how about when Jesus was asked about marriage and said, “Have you not read that he who made them from the beginning made them male and female,’ and said, ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one’?”
That seems pretty definitive.
Or how about remembering this from Matthew: “If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.”
Ouch.
Breitbart: A teacher in the Toronto Catholic District School Board (TCDSB) has bragged on social media about having a Pride flag and depictions of Jesus Christ as transgender in a prayer space in his class.
Toronto, Ontario Catholic school board teacher Paolo De Buono made a post on Twitter on Monday showing off a “prayer table” in the Catholic school in which he teaches displaying a rainbow LGBT Pride flag and depictions of Christ as half man and half woman:
Because, @ChanLPfa, Ss should see themselves reflected, & because we need to dismantle systemic homophobia & transphobia, in our schools & classrooms.

That’s why my prayer table in a Catholic school in Toronto includes at times a Pride flag & inclusive images of Jesus & Mary. pic.twitter.com/xvJP2OOjyv
All of this is obviously disgusting and worthy of outrage but it will be ignored and children will grow into very confused Catholics who will believe they understand the Church’s real teaching. They’ll firmly believe they believe in a new Church, one that stripped itself of all those weird hateful phobias and sexual hangups. They’ll see themselves as freeing Jesus when all they’re really doing is imprisoning themselves.
Is it really too much to ask that Catholic schools teach Catholicism?
