"Sr. Julie Brandt, associate superintendent of schools and a School Sister of Notre Dame, said the diocese was open to changes."

A suggestion.  For a child to be enrolled, the Covenant of Trust should specifically require parents to pledge they will only use Church approved methods of contraception.  After all, they would otherwise be in an "irregular" situation.  There is no "hope" in these guidelines, nor love.  What happens if you're a "regular" couple and support SSM in public?  Would you be "invited" to leave?  If you have "irregular" friends or family you associate with, isn't that a public rejection of the Church's teaching?  School officials are in a difficult place because Francis said to be welcoming while Church teaching is not.  Mr. DeBernardo of New Ways Ministry is exactly right.  Most US Catholics reject much of what the Church teaches about sex.  What would happen if Dioceses required everyone to sign a Covenant?
