Catholic school administrators force children's baseball team to forfeit championship, to avoid needing to play with non-penis-haver.

(Memo to all other teams in that league: You have a *guaranteed* way of winning against that school, every single time! Just have a girl on your team, and they'll quit! Eventually, either the students will rebel and reject the arbitrary bigoted dictates of their religion (which is good) or the school will relent and stop being quite as bigoted (which is good), and in the mean time, you don't have to play with assholes AND you get more games in the playoffs than you lose in the season. Having a girl on your team so the Catholics won't play you: It's win/win/win/win!)

PS: Arizona is TOTALLY giving Ohio and Florida a run for their money, this year.

Note that this school is run by a schismatic group, not by the Roman Catholic Church.

The material difference being.....

...that they're following the dictates of a previous pope, not the current pope; they don't speak for the Catholic Church; and the Catholic Church has no control over them.

I have so much trouble keep track of which pokemon gets bonuses against what pokemon, and when. Even leaving aside "why".

as a sometime Catholic and lifetime Pokemon player, I LOL'd

(I mean, seriously, if THAT'S your metric? Then the 98% of Catholics who completely ignore Der Heilige Vater's instructions on contraception don't count, either, and it turns out that he only rules a teeny cult of child molestors.)

This is a group which considers the Vatican a bunch of commies.

98% of "real" Catholics consider the Vatican a bunch of backwards fascists and treat them accordingly. I still fail to see a material difference worth mentioning.

I think "too reactionary for the mainstream Catholic church" is worth mentioning, if only for the pure WTFOMGBBQ factor.

So naturally I did a search on Society of St. Pius X, which runs the school.

Yeah, they might have well taken as their slogan "Nothing in this century is any good". In Latin, of course.

I find it telling that a blog site named Old Time Catholic (at least they're honest about their position) wrote:

There are a lot of traditionalists who support the SSPX. The SSPX should support Traditional Latin Masses in return. To insist that parishioners should only attend SSPX masses implies that the SSPX is the true church. That view in itself is cultish.

I'm now speculating on whether they'd've been more or less upset if said girl *had* had a penis. XD

[theweaselking.livejournal.com]

Likely equally upset.
