You could have wimpy little men.
I was "blessed" with 8 years of irish nuns. There were forty kids in each classroom, and we worked our butts off. They were perfectionists who tolerated no nonsense or excuses. But I would not trade that education for anything in the world. When we got to public high school we were 2 or 3 grades levels ahead and had a solid work ethic that stood us in good stead. When I went to college I chose a school with the same order and was delighted to find the ones who terrified me as a child could be wonderful caring friends when I was older.
I can't imagine even St Peter arguing with them at the pearly gate.

It's only intelligent if it is in accordance with the dogmatic proclamations of Vatican I.

Disobedience of a certain level (i.e. Ordaining Bishops) is a schismatic act, not just mere disobedience. Plus, when the Holy Father interprets, there is no one who can say otherwise and uphold the teachings of Vatican I faithfully.

[quote name='Infallible Teaching of the First Vatican Council']8. Since the Roman Pontiff, by the divine right of the apostolic primacy, governs the whole Church, we likewise teach and declare that he is the supreme judge of the faithful [52], and that in all cases which fall under ecclesiastical jurisdiction recourse may be had to his judgment [53]. The sentence of the Apostolic See (than which there is no higher authority) is not subject to revision by anyone, nor may anyone lawfully pass judgment thereupon [54]. And so they stray from the genuine path of truth who maintain that it is lawful to appeal from the judgments of the Roman pontiffs to an ecumenical council as if this were an authority superior to the Roman Pontiff.

9. So, then, if anyone says that the Roman Pontiff has merely an office of supervision and guidance, and not the full and supreme power of jurisdiction over the whole Church, and this not only in matters of faith and morals, but also in those which concern the discipline and government of the Church dispersed throughout the whole world; or that he has only the principal part, but not the absolute fullness, of this supreme power; or that this power of his is not ordinary and immediate both over all and each of the Churches and over all and each of the pastors and faithful: let him be anathema.[/quote]

that explanation makes a lot more sense.

I am in KS right now visiting my family and this story is all over the news. The reportrs don't say anything about St. Mary's being SSPX, only that they are "Catholic". The whole issue is slanted and misinformed and the tv and newspaper only have "reports" written by angry 'prodys.

Yeah, St Peter would probably get the ruler if he tried.

This explanation indeed makes a LOT of sense and everyone ought to read it before posting any more about this.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with wanting boys to play sports only with other boys and men as their coaches/referees and girls to play sports only with other girls and women as their coaches/referees. They give quite antiquated and romantic explanations for the reasons they do that (nothing wrong with that), but in general it's a principal of sports most people tend to agree with anyway.

This shouldn't be about debating the SSPX, whether you want to bash them or support them... the fact is that this decision made absolute perfect sense and it was misrepresented by the media... y'all fell for it hook, line, and sinker cause you're very ready to hear something bad about the SSPX, IMO.

First time I read this I assumed there was probably another explanation, and I'm glad to see that there is one.

Note: this particular SSPX school runs itself the same way the schools cmom is talking about ran themselves, they put nuns "in authority" over boys and they put female teachers "in authority" over boys... they simply do not mix the sexes on sports fields. if anyone has a problem with that concept, please bring it up. I would assume no one here should have a problem with it even if they personally also don't have a problem with mixed sexes sports...
