Then John said in reply, “Master, we saw someone casting out demons in your name and we tried to prevent him because he does not follow in our company.”
Jesus said to him, “Do not prevent him, for whoever is not against you is for you.” (Lk 9:49-50)

Quick read: most Catholic homeschoolers are tradition-minded people. Cdl. McElroy is very much the opposite - specifically, anti-TLM, and he has made remarks that appear to oppose aspects of Catholic teaching (on homosexuality and abortion, for example). Whatever the pretext offered at the chancery, no doubt this policy is Cdl. McElroy's way of hurting those families - the inconsistencies make it hard to conclude otherwise.
Ironic timing of Sunday's Gospel reading? Only if there isn't a stronger word for irony.
The pastor of my parish in the Diocese of Birmingham, AL - not exactly a progressive US diocese but a laudably balanced and fair one - ruled over 15 years as Cdl. McElroy ruled this week against use of parish facilities and infrastructure for home schooling colloquial. So your “coincidental timing” is a convenient opinion. Such rulings have been meted out for many years.

How providential that this is the reading for this Sunday's Gospel (from Mark).

It cannot be true. Let us pray that the shepherd for the San Diego Archdiocese would never intend to hurt faithful families.

Over 15 years AGO
Colloqia not “colloquial”. Darn autofill. Sorry
This is so much more thoughtful and helpful than what I would have wanted to say. Thank you.
