This week Jim Ferguson head of Trinity Catholic school banned a student from appearing in a performance put on by the art department on Thurs 9th Feb. The student was very upset. She is a hard working polite student and her costume/artwork fitted beautifully this years theme contagion. It beats Lady Gaga by miles
The only reason I can see for Mr Ferguson reacting like this is the catholic stance on no condoms.
I tried to find out about the official Catholic line on the use of condoms. It seams about as clear as mud. Any young catholic in this country will have to face the dilemma follow the pope or live in the real world. I left the church along with my brothers and sister as a young teenager after being forced to attend mass every week by my father.But the main reason I left the Church was the constant clash between the" Rules" and what I believe to be right...
Don't you think The Pope and Lady Gaga have similar costumes

The Vatican today paved the way for the widespread use of condoms by Catholics, stirring impassioned theological debate among his millions of followers across the world.
In an attempt to clarify the confusion caused at the weekend by the leaking of differently translated passages from a book of interviews with the pontiff, his spokesman used its launch to signal that condom use is acceptable as a lesser evil where there was risk of HIV contagion.
Across Africa reaction to the statement exposed the divergence of views within the Catholic church. The pope's amplified comments may have created a doctrinal dilemma for hardliners.
Matthew Ndagosa, archbishop for the Kaduna diocese in Nigeria, where Catholicism is thriving, said: "Everybody is misinterpreting the Vatican. People have made up their own minds on this issue and are twisting the words to fit them.
"Holy father's message was clear – there is no change in policy. The church will continue to believe that the indiscriminate use of condoms encourages promiscuity and aggravates the situation."

if they can have life drawing classes in the school of naked woman and men which has been alowed, how can a simple condom which is to promote stopping sti's be seen as something worst? if nudity is alowed in a catholic school and no one blinks an eye... it just shows the morals of the school are all wrong...
