Supporters of the diocese's policy say it is upholding Catholic teachings, while opponents say the directive will have a serious role in alienating LGBTQ kids.
CLEVELAND, Ohio – The Catholic Diocese of Cleveland’s gender policy continues to echo through parishes across Northeast Ohio, a week after leaders made public a controversial directive that has shaken many on both sides of the issue.
“As I read the policies, there really aren’t any new or novel positions the Diocese of Cleveland assumes,” wrote the Rev. Michael Gurnick, the administrator of St. Malachi Parish in Cleveland, to parishioners last week. “They reflect what we have always held about human gender and sexuality. However, I certainly understand the shock and possible dismay for many within our local Catholic community.
“I’m speaking directly about the diocese and . I don’t know why they think that a policy eliminating or not letting kids have a seat at their table is ever what Jesus taught. It never was. And it’s just this invented idea.” In an email, Holy Name President Shelbrey Blanc said the schools were asked to send all inquiries for comment to the diocese. The diocese declined to comment.
