Jill Porter: Archdiocese Shrugs off Christian Values by Blocking Girl's Schooling

I normally don't like anything that Jill Porter has to say. I find her to be way too liberal for my taste. But, when I saw this article online, I saw red ( and not the red of the daily news banner...hehe).

I joined the Catholic Church right before Karen and I got married. Karen wanted to raise our children Catholic, as she was raised. I thought that I should solidify their religious education by becoming Catholic myself. When I read stories like this one, however, I sometimes doubt my choice....

Gabrielle DeFelice works in a pizza shop and finds it ironic when her friends complain about school.

Because school is exactly where the 17-year-old wants to be.



She wants to be finishing her senior year, wants to be applying to college and going to the prom and getting her yearbook.

That's what we push our young people to do, right? Stay in school, get a diploma, go to college.

Which is why I find it astonishing that the Philadelphia Archdiocese has kept Gabrielle DeFelice from attending school this year.
