At one school 5 teachers said to have 'outed' themselves as homosexuals BY LifeSiteNews.com By John-Henry Westen   TORONTO, March 28, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) - In the upcoming April issue of Canada’s Catholic Insight Magazine there are some explosive allegations about openly homosexual teachers in Catholic schools in Canada.  "Homosexually active Catholics have been infiltrating Ontario’s Catholic schools for some time and, with their new legal status, now demand to be recognized," says the article co-authored by editor Fr. Alphonse de Valk and investigative reporter Tony Gosgnach.  One of the powerful and disturbing examples Catholic Insight presents is the case of the Toronto-area Catholic school Cardinal Carter Academy for the Arts.  "At a December 2006 school staff meeting on the subject of homosexuality, at least five teachers ‘outed’ themselves as homosexuals," reports the magazine.  "A music teacher announced she is a lesbian who ‘married’ her partner following the passage of Bill C-38 by the federal Parliament in 2005. She has told her students that her ‘lifestyle’ is normal and acceptable."  The director of the religion department at the same school is Michael Arbour, who, according to the magazine, wrote an article for the now-defunct dissident paper Catholic New Times which twisted the policy of the Ontario Catholic Bishops regarding students with homosexual tendencies.  Arbour co-authored the piece with Barry Blackburn, the homosexual partner of suspended Catholic priest Fr. Tim Ryan. Catholic Insight refers to both Arbour and Blackburn as "homosexual activists.""Under the leadership of Michael Arbour," reports the magazine, "Cardinal Carter Academy’s religion department has created ‘co-curricular activities,’ corresponding to religion courses. The Grade 12 course entitled ‘Christianity Reloaded’ (Church and Culture) has attached to it the co-curricular GSA (Gay-Straight Alliance), described as ‘a conversation between gay and straight students.’"  Catholic Insight concludes: "The question about all this is: is somebody (teachers, principals, school boards, parish priests, trustees, bishops, and parents) going to do anything about this?"  Cardinal Carter Academy Principal Mr. Angelo Bolotta did not return a call for comment from LifeSiteNews.com.  Students, parents or teachers in the Toronto Catholic District School Board who have encountered similar situations are encouraged to contact LifeSiteNews.com with details at  lsn@lifesitenews.com  1-866-787-9947  To respectfully express concerns:Oliver Carroll   Chairman   Toronto Catholic District School Board   80 Sheppard Avenue East  North York, Ontario  M2N 6E8  Tel. 416-512-3408  oliver.carroll@tcdsb.orgFull list of Board trustees and contact information:  http://www.tcdsb.org/trustees/default.htm#List%20of%20Trustees  See related LifeSiteNews.com reports article:Toronto Catholic School Board ‘Gay Speak’ Seminar  http://www.lifesite.net/ldn/2003/aug/030807a.html  Ontario Catholic Teachers Run Far Left Conference Promoting Gay Activism  http://www.lifesite.net/ldn/2006/aug/06082202.html  Ontario Catholic Teachers Union Proposes More Pro-Gay Measures  http://www.lifesite.net/ldn/2004/feb/04022307.html  Ontario Elementary Teachers Union Supports Same-Sex Marriage Law  http://www.lifesite.net/ldn/2005/feb/05021107.html  Pro-gay Catholic teachers’ union applauds appointment of lesbian to education  http://www.lifesite.net/ldn/2006/oct/06101107.html  Ontario Catholic Teachers’ Union Website Promotes Bizarre Guelph Sexuality Conference  http://www.lifesite.net/ldn/2004/apr/04041309.html  ONTARIO CATHOLIC TEACHERS UNION TO INTERVENE ON SIDE OF OSHAWA GAY STUDENT  http://www.lifesite.net/ldn/2002/may/02050606.html  To see more from Catholic Insight or to subscribe to the magazine visit the website:  http://catholicinsight.comSee the full article from Catholic Insight here:  http://catholicinsight.com/online/church/education/article_704.shtml http://www.lifesitenews.com/news/explosive-revelations-about-homosexual-teachers-in-canadian-catholic-school/
