We have learnt this morning that there is an on-line CitizenGo petition calling for Archbishop Malcolm McMahon of Liverpool to intervene in the situation that has been unfolding in Sacred Heart Primary School in Atherton.
As we stated on Friday, if His Grace does not act soon to defend Catholic truth, preserve childhood innocence and uphold the rights of Catholic parents, then Catholics throughout the Archdiocese would have such a duty.Â
Therefore, although we do not know who created this on-line petition at CitizenGo, we commend its author(s) for making such a faithful stand and encourage readers to join with the 2,000+ people who have signed it so far.
The petition at CitizenGo reads:
Dear The Most Reverend Malcolm McMahon OP and Headteacher of Sacred Heart RC Primary School, Carrie Morrow,
I trust you are aware of recent activity in Sacred Heart Roman Catholic School in Atherton - a school which comes under your jurisdiction - which has recently been promoting the LGBT agenda through a play and have recently been awarded the ''Rainbow Flag'' by the Proud Trust for their role in promoting that agenda.
It appears that a number of the parents have already spoken out on social media and have subsequently been vilified by the local press and insulted by the Headteacher, Miss Carrie Morrow.
This denial of the Catholic Faith within the context of the school, as well as the usurpation of parental authority on the part of the school, is utterly unacceptable.
At least part of the purpose of the school is to instruct the children in the faith, and part of the reason parents send their children to this school is to receive such instruction. Miss Morrow has, by her action, undermined the faith, challenged the very nature of faith schools and has rejected parental authority, and this cannot be allowed to continue.
Of course, persons with same-sex attraction have exactly the same inherent dignity as everyone else, but how the school approaches this - if indeed it should be approached at all given this is a primary school - should be done in a properly Christian manner.
I therefore demand a public apology from the Headteacher for her actions, and trust that you, as Archbishop, will take appropriate disciplinary action.''
Readers can sign up to that on-line petition via CitizenGo's website.Â
