The Allentown MORNING CALL reporting on a mad rush to find a new school for next year..

There is also interest in Lourdes Regional High school ..
"Cardinal Brennan students who live west of Ashland may also consider Our Lady of Lourdes Regional School in Coal Township, Northumberland County, operated by the Diocese of Harrisburg, said Allentown Diocese spokesman Matt Kerr"

Nativity, with 194 students (Cardinal Brennan being closed with 171 by the way) said it could handle an influx of students from Cardinal Brennan..

Posters and displays were at Marian to advertise to prospective students.. sports and studies..

Check the statistics better. 171 students at CBHS from 6-12 Grades.
194 at Navivity 9-12. Also multiply the difference (23 students) by cost per pupil.

there's a lot of math missing at cardinal brennan, too.. the kids coming from that school are socially retarded, stupid, inbred hicks with really rich parents that make them all think they're special.

hey now. i do agree with you on most of all that, but there are other, nicer ways of insulting people. if the blog master or whatever he's called felt like it he could censor you. he seems like the petty kind who would when he doesn't agree with something. instead of "socially retarded" you could just say "supremely arrogant" or "small-minded." instead of "stupid" you could call them "ignernt," or "IGNORANT," like most normal people who aren't from around here say it. instead of "inbred," you could say "incestually challenged." instead of "hicks" you can... well, nevermind...plus, don't forget some of the average kids who go there who aren't rich.

on top of math they could use some more science and philosophy too, from what i hear. but why would they want to mold kids into fine, free-thinking individuals? that'd be horrible, just disastrous for the church and its precepts.

but kudos to you for having the grapes to say all that in such a pathetically one-sided forum.

One problem with the "free-thinking" approach is that it excludes (of course) the teachings of ANY religious group as adlepated, antiquarian, and asinine. That's a way cool method of exclusion and intellectually arrogant too. Imagine matching wits with the likes of Cicero or Marcus Aurelius then add Athanasius to Ratzinger to the mix. Oh, I'm sorry, we're 21st centery folks and the repository of all wisdom and technology. Those folks have nothing to match us because we're smarter. We have newspapers, radio, Tv, Internet and even blogs. They had nothing, right?

yes, us 21st centery folks are, very simply, the best. would you wake up already? you push around words as if you knew their real meaning. your diatribe is neither informative, persuasive, nor in the least bit pedadogical. it's people like you would would chastise James Cameron for the endorsement of an important archealogical(sp?) discovery while worshiping a splinter encased in gold at the vatican said to have been taken from the true cross. what historical facts if any have you to merit the very existence of Christ or anyone else anyway? people can be thinkers and faithful too. go back to school yourself. punk.

*pedagogical. i apologize profoundly for my inaccuracy of spelling in the use of that word. now, if you'll excuse me, i'm gonna go burn some heretics for presupposing that the earth revolves around the sun. then i might lynch someone for believing in darwin's theory of evolution. oh, and then i myself might take a walk off the face of this flat earth. but before all that i need to buy some indulgences so that i can go to heaven. cuz, you know, i'm so wise and faithful and old school that i believe everything the catholic church has taught me for centuries and am too stubborn and mentally stifled to change my mind. take that to Athanasius.

wasn't marcus aurelius a pedaphile, too? maybe it's some secret church law left unaddressed by the 2nd vatican council.

i just have one question. why can't unbaptized babies go to heaven? i think that lame. i think i was absent from school that day. and i DON'T think God would do that. a church who hates abortion yet preaches that unbaptized babies don't go to heaven. holy hell
