Father Leo discusses the controversy surrounding pride flags and LGBTQ inclusion at Bishop O’Dowd High School, a Catholic school in Oakland, California. He examines the school’s decision to remove pride flags while adopting a rainbow-colored “inclusive O” intended to communicate welcome and belonging. The episode explores Catholic identity, Church teaching, faith formation, and the responsibility of bishops to oversee Catholic institutions. Father Leo also discusses the Brebeuf Jesuit controversy in Indianapolis as an example of tensions between Catholic school governance and diocesan authority. He encourages parents to investigate how strongly Catholic schools uphold Church teaching and to remain actively involved in their children’s spiritual and moral formation. The episode concludes with practical advice for Catholic families navigating education, homeschooling, and preparation for college.
