But there are also an equal or greater number of quotes that would suggest Jesus wouldn’t fire him. Let me guess. Judge.


“If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault, between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother. But if he does not listen, take one or two others along with you, that every charge may be established by the evidence of two or three witnesses. If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church. And if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector."

WTF is your problem? I was simply pointing out that a Catholic school is going to have a different view on morality vs a public school. Maybe I hit too close to home.

Good Lord. Now you’re going to start giving quotes. You know damn well I can provide a quote after quote suggesting they wouldn’t fire him. But I’m only going to do one. Otherwise, this will be all day.

By the way, the school did not do what that verse suggested to do
1 Peter 2:17-25
Treat everyone you meet with dignity. Love your spiritual family. Revere God. Respect the government

You can’t find a single scripture that says to keep doing what you are doing just because you think it’s right. Again, just because Jesus forgave them doesn’t mean they didn’t have to change. It is astonishing how many Christians don’t know the teachings they profess to follow

Thank god the bishop made the tough but correct decision in this case. The priest should be reassigned for failing to do what he was ordained to do.


Meanwhile that same bishop has a long and documented history of harboring and providing aid to child molesters.

Yep. The Catholic Church may be the most hypocritical and corrupt organization in the world, besides governments

The school has every opportunity to clear that up and set the record straight.



The school is not going to get involved in this any further. To speak out now would only keep this in the media.

St. Francis has said what they need to say and the decision is final. Time for everyone to move on.

Love is expressed in many different ways. Sometimes tough love is needed to drive home a point. A kind of tough love is firing someone for violating a contract.

The men inside of it most certainly are. We've been trying to destroy ourselves for centuries and yet God allows us to keep on keeping on.

I’m sure the parent who ratted him out has engaged in premarital sex among other sins over their life.

Thankfully Jesus was willing to forgive those sins but drew the line at homosexuality

I wonder how many teachers and staff at the school have had extra marital affairs, gotten a divorce without getting it annulled by the church, I’ve had premarital sex, etc. that the school knows about. Or shacking up with another without being married. Better yet, uses birth control contraception. My guess is at least one.

The disgruntled parent is probably a twice divorced Karen who can’t mind her own business.

This is an excellent point. However, one that needs a distinction. Yes...it's true, God views premarital sex between a man and a woman to be just as sinful as sex between two men or two women. Repentance is needed to overcome those sins.

The act of homosexuality itself, however, is always a sin no matter if the couple are married in the eyes of the state or not.

Nearly everyone sins in a daily basis. Why is homosexuality worse than sins commonly committed by heterosexuals?

You can believe being a homosexual is fine just like dozens of other sins but that doesn’t make it right; sin doesn’t change with the times. I personally don’t care what they do but I always find it comical when Christians try to downplay certain sins because they personally don’t think they are a big deal. I am sure someone who gambles away his family’s money justifies it in his head as not a big deal either
