Barrett was trustee at private school with anti-gay policies

and grew out of the Catholic charismatic movement rooted in Pentecostalism that began in the late 1960s. It emphasizes a personal relationship with Jesus and can include baptism in the Holy Spirit, speaking in tongues and prophecy, according to former members, experts who have studied the movement, and its own publications. Most members are Roman Catholic.More than half of the people AP interviewed were involved with Trinity or People of Praise within the last decade.

In addition to the written policies, school administrators made clear verbally they did not want to admit children of gay families, multiple people told the AP. A faculty employment agreement in place for the 2014-15 school year, obtained by the AP, states that “Blatant sexual immorality has no place in the culture of Trinity Schools.”

Several former students of varying ages who attend all three Trinity schools separately described being taught a vivid reading from Dante’s “Inferno” that depicts the eternal suffering of Sodomites condemned to hell for their sins. Four of them said teachers made clear the passage referred to gay men who were rightly suffering in hell. Some more recent graduates of the Minnesota school, however, said their teacher did not dwell on the passage.

During her confirmation hearing last week, Barrett also framed sexuality as a “preference.” That wording is rejected by LGBTQ advocates because it suggests sexual orientation is a choice. Turpin-King recalled that during 9th grade one of her teachers told the class that all gay people go to hell. Another Trinity graduate, who spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because his parents are still in People of Praise and his sexuality remains a sensitive topic for them, was forced to undergo conversion therapy after Trinity administrators learned he was gay at age 16. He also recounted being counseled by a senior People of Praise leader that same-sex attraction was “changeable” with treatment and prayer.

Connolly said that account of what happened was “not accurate,” though he declined to provide details “out of respect for all parties involved.”

Of course they did.
