She - Carol. Carol is over...She is very unstable. She - Carol. Carol is overbearing, arrogant, obstinate and headstrong. Not the priest. I do not know the priest. I do know my friends attended Carol's religion classes, a long time ago. And she is afraid of Carol. I went to two of those classes and I can see my friends point of view. If a restraining order was filed on you - would you disobey it? To the point of the sheriff in your driveway enforcing a citation. I am a mother. I would not do that to my family. Possibly go to jail. This is what I mean about Carol being pushy. So pushy that the priest could not control her, so the sheriff had to. People like that get no sympathy from me. I agree with my friend, and I remember being in that religion class for two sessions. Carol is a very different person. I am just stating the truth here. How would you deal with a person like Carol Race? Would you be afraid of her knowledge of the Bible and be able to "hold" you own? My friend wasn't and is afraid of Mrs. Race.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212741399857110313.post-14525924707658667692008-12-21T13:49:00.000-06:002008-12-21T13:49:00.000-06:00I'm inclined to be more on the Races' side of the ...I'm inclined to be more on the Races' side of the issue simply because I myself have been in too many places where simple accomodation steps haven't been implemented and (more importantly!), the love of Christ is not manifested.<BR/><BR/>But at no time would I call Father Walz "unstable" or "overbearing, headstrong and obstinate" without a bit more information. When and if I ever were to do so, I wouldn't do so anonymously. I'd at least use my blog pseudonym. Those are pretty serious names to call someone without using your name or police report to back yourself up, anonymous.<BR/><BR/>Interesting that you also typed a good, long paragraph all about how bad she is and then advised me to ignore her.<BR/><BR/>Like I said, I don't know the Race family personally. But I do know that I give little credence to anonymous derogatory remarks about a person on my blog. It's entirely possible that absolutely everything you relate is true... but like I said, I'm disinclined to believe it because of the anonymous and belittling nature of your remarks.<BR/><BR/>PS I think the car revving thing isn't anybody's fault but the idiot who left the keys in the ignition and walked away.Happy Elf Mom (Christine)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15047347624037697311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212741399857110313.post-8191387120166540862008-12-21T10:40:00.000-06:002008-12-21T10:40:00.000-06:00Mrs. Race is a very overbearing, arrogant, obstina...Mrs. Race is a very overbearing, arrogant, obstinate, and headstrong. I have a friend in the Twin Cities, where the Race's lived. This friend is still afraid of Carol. This mother pushed the limits so far as to have a restraining order placed on her. Then when she disobeyed the restraining order a citation was issued, and carried out by an officer of the law in her driveway to stop her from going to Bertha for mass. The car revving incident, was a result from lack of accommodation - This lady is in denial. The priest can run his mass any way he sees fit. He cut a few songs from the mass, so it is his fault that Adam got into a car and revved the engine. Oh my gosh. She is blaming the priest.<BR/>Can a person do that, blame the leader of a Catholic church?<BR/>Father Walz was left no choice but to treat this family with tough love and not give an inch. If he gave Carol an inch, she'd take a mile. She is very unstable. How do you deal with a person as obstinate as Carol Race? Ignore her!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212741399857110313.post-41346277849100791152008-08-06T15:27:00.000-05:002008-08-06T15:27:00.000-05:00I do want to say that the information in the blog ...I do want to say that the information in the blog about Adam is completely one-sided. I know for a fact that the church has offered different choices of how to deal with Adam in mass. They have offered the crying room exclusively to them, they have offered private masses, and yet the mother has refused all of these. It upsets me that a kid has to go through this, but it also upsets me that a mother would put her kid through this. Sitting or restraining Adam in mass is a form of calming him down which means he is under stress. I'm sure the options offered would actually put Adam under less stress due to less people. <BR/> This isn't just about Adam it is about the overall safety. Father Walz was very smart in beinging up this issue. Even if Adam didn't mean to, what if he did rev up an engine and drive and hit someone. then who is at fault? The church isn't against autism and idn't against Adam. They are against the behavior that has been displayed in mass. Even children without Autism still need to be carried out of church if there are acting up to the point where people are distracted. I have seen that many times. This is a very difficult and uncomfortable situation to have but we must all do what's best. Mediation and the church should happen, and the media should back off. If this was just about Adam, his mother would not have gotten the media involved. That was irresponsible. <BR/> I have worked with kids in the past that have had Autism, and I know that this is going too far.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212741399857110313.post-37195116622387052842008-05-24T10:50:00.000-05:002008-05-24T10:50:00.000-05:00Hi!

If anyone should be banned from the services, it is the 'good' Father himself! It's totally unacceptable that this horrid little man is able to abuse Adam's human rights in this manner. The family should take this all the way up to the Pope. God Himself would be crying over this- I'm certain it's not how He views His church.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
