Candidate, Vanessa Mariani
Red Deer Catholic Regional Schools, AB
Electoral District: Red Deer
Bio
CLC rating: Not Supportable
Rating Comments: Although this candidate has not filled out CLC's 2021 election survey, her website has given several key indicators that she is socially liberal with respect to moral issues. She said she wants to impress upon students her "progressive ideas", which is a euphemism for liberalism and opposition to traditional values. She says on her website that she wants to "challenge outdated conventions" and promote "a wholly inclusive approach to sharing the Catholic faith". In our extensive experience with trustee candidates, when they talk about challenging outdated beliefs and embarking on a more "inclusive" approach, what they really mean is that they intend to undermine Catholic teaching and indoctrinate children to reject Church doctrine.

Question | Response |
---|---|
Will you work to ensure that Catholic schools do not invite guest speakers who have publicly expressed positions that contradict the morality and teaching of the Church, no matter how great their achievements in politics, business, sports, science or the arts? | no response |
Will you work to ensure that educational materials that enter the premises of Catholic schools (e.g., library resources, curriculum texts, awareness campaigns, flyers) and all approved school activities are consistent with and do not undermine the morality and teachings of the Church? | no response |
Will you work to ensure that your Catholic school board enacts a policy requiring all agents and employees of the board to uphold the rights of custodial parents to direct and control the education of, and any medical treatment provided to, their dependent children attending its schools? | no response |
Are there any circumstances under which you believe a woman should have access to abortion*? (*Note: a surgical or medical intervention designed to prevent the death of the mother but which results in the unintended and undesired death of the pre-born child, is not an abortion) | no response |
Will you work to ensure that your Board publicly promotes total fidelity to the faith and moral teachings of the Catholic Church? (Current examples include the illicitness of abortion, contraception and homosexual practice) | no response |
Will you oppose sex-ed programs which are contrary to Church teaching? | no response |
Given that the Gay Pride flag is a controversial political symbol which contradicts Church teaching on marriage & human sexuality, will you oppose any and all proposals to fly the Gay Pride flag at Catholic schools, at the board office, or to acknowledge and celebrate June as Pride month? | no response |
