About a dozen people staged a quiet and respectful protest last Sunday across the street from Sacred Heart of Jesus church in Boulder, Colorado.
“God loves all people,” declared one of the signs. Another advises, “Teach acceptance.” Another demonstrator carried a hand-scrawled sign with a biblical passage identified as “Matt 19:14”: “Jesus said, Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them…”

Sacred Heart of Jesus parishioner shares hot coffee with protesters

The demonstrators gathered outside Boulder’s oldest Catholic parish to protest a decision by the parish’s school to kick out two children because their parents are a lesbian couple, Boulder’s Daily Camera reports.
Inside the church last Sunday, its pastor, Rev. William Breslin, defended the expulsion which he called “the most difficult decision” of his life.
Some of the strongest criticism of the exclusion has come from Catholics in the Denver/Boulder area and beyond, but the decision is closely aligned with other educational decisions made in Denver by Archbishop Charles Chaput. He is one of the most notable of a new generation of bishops who justify committed activism for conservative anti-gay and anti-abortion politics through a reactionary theology.
Chaput runs a seminary in Denver that has become notorious as one of the US’s most reactionary training grounds for priests. In 2005, he told the New Yorker’s Peter Boyle that debate is not a valued lesson at the school.
“I think there’s real serious theological reflection, and we study all the issues of the time,” Chaput said of the seminary. “But we don’t see them as being equal opinions. The opinion of the Church is the opinion. The others, it’s just important to know them so that you know what the Church's challenges are.”
The two children at Sacred Heart, whose parents have been longtime members of the parish, will be able to stay at the school until the end of the current academic year, but will not be allowed to re-enroll next year, Breslin told parishioners. One child is in kindergarten and will not be allowed to enroll in next year’s first-grade class. The other is in the preschool program, but will be excluded from kindergarten next year.
“I chose to protect the faith over doing what would have looked like the loving thing to do,” Breslin said in the sermon, which was later posted to Breslin’s blog.
