I don't know whether to LOL or :rolleyes:.

Thoughts?

Well, the school denies it... but let us ignore that ;)

How would it respond to a boy named Jesus wishing to enrol ? That is after all a common name in many Spanish speaking countries...

Lol, rather strange, I went through Australia catholic schooling my whole life, and it was never remotely religious (as in forcing beliefs on people), in fact it was remarkably secular and in religion classes you chose to do Islam, Christianity, Hindu etc as your study. The other thing I can think is, the school thought it was a joke.

Well Muslim schools I am sure don't mind having kids called Muhammad, they would have a problem if they did:)

:rolleyes: Times infinity.

Oh well, Think of it a blessing in disguise.;)

I wonder if any catholics live in Hell, MI.

I never took catholic schools seriously.

Don't know. Hell, Norway is a different story though.

So one priest objected, he was counseled, and the boy was offered admission. Looks like a non-story to me. Either that, or the dad wants a jackpot payoff in a lawsuit. How does that work in Australia?

If he eventually becomes pope, He can be known as Pope Holy Hell. :D

That wasn't even remotely funny.

*Wrecks the thread*

Priest: "You're wrecking everything! You're going straight to hell, young man!"

Hell: "Hah! Hell is my middle name!" ;)

I always wondered what the male equivalent of "Helen" was... :p

Yeah. Big non story.
Story says a few times that they offered the kid enrolment.

And I agree with Andaras Prime, as I went to the oldest Catholic boys school in NZ. Never once was Catholic doctrine/teaching/bible bashing, whatever, forced on us.

Oh and Mymidonisia, wicked name.

...

That wasn't even remotely funny.

Sure.. if you don't have a sense of humor.

The boy's parents complained he was being bullied and harassed over his surname at his current school and sought a transfer, Herald Sun Online understands

so they sent him to catholic school?

When the kid gets older he'll appreciate the name.

After all, what does the Catholic Church teach?

That girls who have premarital sex are Going to Hell.

:D

For a bachelor party, he can get a stripper who's Going to Hell in a Handbasket.

:D

And of course, a really hot woman is going to be called...

A Hellraiser.

:D

*whacks Gauthier with newspaper*

Bad! Bad dog!



They don't have any compulsion to allow him entrance, do they?

Yes it was :)

Not his best work but it was worth a chuckle

Wow...that was...hilarious.

Wow...that was...hilarious.
And when he starts driving, he'll be Hell on wheels.

Instead of Charlie's Angels, it would be Hell's Angels...Okay, that sucked.

Freeing himself from bondage would be Hell breaks loose.

When he buys a house, the approach would be the Road to Hell and we know how that's one's paved.

Don't even think about incorporating Eisenhower's concrete genius into this.

ok so a school refuses this little boy entry. At the end of the day it's there loss because this young boy will probably turn into one HELL of a guy!!

I guess they raised hell over this.

so they sent him to catholic school?

They must have mistaken the church's offer of guaranteed 'salvation from hell' for "salvation *for* Hell" and thought themselves blessed by a miracle.

You know, though, I wonder if this is a good thing. Now a Catholic priest won't go to Hell for touching little boys.

If he eventually becomes pope, He can be known as Pope Holy Hell. :D
heck, just being a teacher.

First Math class was Hell.

Then I went to Hell for Science.


I just hope I don't go to Hell for Sex Ed...

...

You're right, it wasn't. Largely because he beat me to it. Damn you, LG.

Five year-old boy denied enrolment to Catholic school because his surname is "Hell"
rthat sucks for him. actually, I would not know, since I am not catholic and would never to go to a catholic school. I hear the nuns beat you with a stick:eek:

He could start a finishing school for women called Hell's Belles. :D

It's a nonissue, the context is what matters.

obviously there is some confusion or difference of opinion on this one.

I think that Hell is not a profane word... actually I think the church uses it quite often.

pasty fish cakes!

I think I got it...

The Catholic School turned the boy down because it would be an awful temptation for the priests.

Can you imagine how it would make Pope Palpatine look if reports came out about priests giving in to temptation and Going to Hell to commit sin?

That is Designatory Descrimination. If i had a name my church didnt like i wouldnt change it just cause they didnt like it. i would show up anyways, and if they kick me out, ill play pranks on them that are non distructive but just as annoying as the ones that are.
