  1. Nice guy. Bad decision to allow discrimination if you’re taking public money. And the claim that Fitzgerald was in a ministerial position is just a ruse to allow discrimination. The only teachers in a ministerial position are the religion teachers. QED

  2. Catholic schools have had LGBTQ teachers for years

    Left unclear is why a church rife with abuse scandals amongst their ordained ministers decided that going after their lay teachers was the best course of action, or the solution to the problem.

    1. Its obvious that the LGBTQ teachers you’re referring to, knew how to keep their private lives separate from the church. If its exposed in the public, then they’ll react. Guess they can either find jobs that don’t have such requirements or follow the rules. Like it or not, religious organizations have rights to. A gay person doesn’t have to seek employment at these places. Why go anywhere that’s clearly against you?

    2. In one of the cases a parent did a records search and turned the counselor in.

      And in my experience the “friend” of the teacher came on a field trip with us. No issues.

      You are correct, the Catholic Church can redefine their rules and decide that everyone in the building – including the janitor – is a religious minister. (Which at Cathedral of all places is … an ironic position to take.)

      And they can run their school as they see fit. But those who don’t agree with their positions have legitimate issues with their tax dollars going to a place like that.

      By taking public money you open yourself up to public accountability.

  3. Excellent. Maybe these LGBTQ+++ obsessed people and their acolytes will learn to read contracts and acknowledge having to abide by the writing therein before signing them.

    1. Bob P., you are such an easy target to counter-point. Contracts that have an illegal premise are not enforceable. How about you write a contract that says if you marry a Black person, you will be terminated?

    2. I don’t know that this is illegal Raannndy! It’s a religious group with beliefs. If they believe it’s morally wrong to be gay, then that is their belief. It’s not for me or you to decide for them.
