CWN Editor's Note: Five months after he published “A Catholic Response to Gender Identity Theory,” Archbishop Alexander Sample of Portland (OR) is facing a backlash from angry parents, as well as some from teachers and school administrators. Archbishop Sample has also temporarily closed the archdiocese’s Department of Catholic Schools.
One archdiocesan priest, Father Mike Biewind, preached a homily in which he praised a school principal who resigned in protest against the archbishop’s document. The priest is scheduled to retire at the end of the month.

If (some) parents want gender 'theory' then by going back to the public schools (especially in Portland), they will get their wish.

Lengthy but worth the read. The backlash is quite telling how well the LGBTQABC has brainwashed people and how incompetent they are to be open to truths. Huzzah for Archbishop Sample and we wish him the very very best. P.S. uncharitable I suppose but to those who left in protest, don't let the door hit you on the way out. We will say a prayer for your enlightenment.
