ST. LOUIS PARK, Minn. (AP) - The student newspaper at a Roman Catholic school in St. Louis Park, Minn., has removed student-written editorials defending gay teenagers and criticizing a DVD by Minnesota's Catholic bishops that denounced same-sex marriage.
One editorial in the newspaper at Benilde-St. Margaret's School challenged the bishops' arguments and called the DVD "unsubstantiated."
The other article described editor Sean Simonson's life as a gay teenager. Simonson wrote, "Your faith preaches your exclusion -- or damnation."
Principal Sue Skinner said the editorials and online comments about them were removed from the newspaper's website because they "created confusion about Church teaching."
