Bishop Asks Wrestlers to Forfeit Match

There was a small buzz of concern with the Trinity wrestling faithful when the Shamrocks hosted ShippensburgTuesday night.

All over the possibility of a female showing up in the Greyhounds lineup. And of course, how it would affect the match.

In late September, the head of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Harrisburg, Bishop Ronald Gainer, handed down a new policy that stated any male wrestler who attends a Catholic school would have to forfeit a match if opposed by a female.

Why do women want to be men? I would love an honest answer.

The Bishop should concentrate on teaching the Catholic Faith and doing his own job as shepherd.

The rules of the sport of wrestling are not a matter of Faith or Morals. I suppose if a priest or a nun were entering the contest it would be different; but to interfere in the perfectly legitimate sport of mixed wrestling is Ultra Vires.

There's a village somewhere in a Sommerset in need of a special person.

Good question. Or, why do they hate being women?

I respectfully disagree 100%.Men & Women were designed by Almighty God for different reasons & purposes.Competeing in a wrestling match is not 1 of them.Feminism is designed to create chaos, resentment, and hatred between the sexes.This man is defending God's plan from satanic feminism.

A Bishop should be able to determine what goes on in his own school.
