The Tigers’ star said he was fed up with the Christian faith “being mocked so badly in society”.
NRL star Adam Doueihi has voiced support for the rights of Catholic schools teaching religious beliefs, in the wake of a Sydney girls school’s controversial ban on students bringing a same-sex partner as a date to their year 12 formal.
“We as Christians don’t have anything against different types of people. All we say is keep us out of it. Stop trying to brainwash our children and cause confusion for the next generation of Catholics.”O’Keefe said Doueihi, a Wests Tigers five-eighth who represented Lebanon in the 2017 Rugby League World Cup, had contacted his show about speaking publicly about religious freedoms.
Abbie Frankland, the girlfriend of a St Ursula’s student, started the online petition and said she had been “eagerly anticipating” the formal with her partner, but was later told the school prohibited same-sex couples from attending.
