Catholic School Sees Backlash After Firing Gay Teacher

[Dos Equis]

The ongoing societal indoctrination is going to move in this direction.  Lifestyle choices will eventually trump the First Amendment.  At least that's my prediction.

Catholic School Sees Backlash After Firing Gay Teacher
Friday, 13 Dec 2013

The backlash has been sharp and swift for administrators at a Roman Catholic high school near Philadelphia who fired a gay teacher.

School officials say they had no choice but to fire Michael Griffin after he sought to marry his partner. They say he publicly violated his employment contract with Holy Ghost Preparatory School in Bensalem.

But thousands have protested the move through Facebook groups and petitions demanding that Griffin be rehired. Alumni have pledged to withhold financial support.

Some people say Griffin should have known he was jeopardizing his job by publicizing his plan to wed. Others worry the negative publicity is unfairly labeling the school as intolerant.

Here we go again.  Another propaganda piece for the homosex mafia.  For fucks sake, you worked at a Roman Catholic school, did you not think this might not go over well?  What if this had been a midrasa or whatever the fuck the moosleims call their schools?  think about that one.  Would this outcry have occurred?

[Straw Man]

yeah, fuck the 4th amendment

[dario73]

So crosses in public places is out of the question.

And a private catholic school firing a homo is also a no no according to the idiots protesting.


So the end result is the destruction of the freedom of religion in public and in private.  

So much for tolerance.

[Straw Man]

Do they fire heterosexuals who announce plans to marry? If not, they're discriminating against him.

They may have the right to refuse to perform the ceremony, but they shouldn't be allowed to fire him for it.

Besides, if being gay was a valid justification for terminating employment, the Catholic Church would have to function on a skeleton crew.

common sense but

"Of all priests involved in the abuses, 80 to 90 per cent belong to this sexual orientation minority which is sexually engaged with adolescent boys between the ages of 11 and 17," said Tomasi. His statement is backed up by a report commissioned by the US bishops that found that in the overwhelming majority of cases the clergy involved were homosexuals, with 81 percent of victims being adolescent males

Religious organizations are allowed to discriminate.

whats funny is the liberal left seem to love to hold these stories up when they happen to try and discredit the catholic church.

They dont realize they are also holding up the astounding dispropotionate number of those people who are homosexual pedophiles

sorry Tony

I forgot how profoundly stupid you are

what you have posted (and the rest of the article) does not in any way support the claim that the majority of those in the priesthood are pedophiles or even homosexuals

if you bothered to read the entire article you would know this

[dario73]

How? It's a PRIVATE Catholic school.

Their religious belief does not condone homosexuality and under the law they have every right to that belief.

[24KT]

homo pedophiles are crafty bastards

I don't know about the majority being pedos, they do have a lot of them.

All pedos are crafty bastards, and I would bet society probably has more hetero pedos than homosexual ones, however the abuse of females in society is routinely not considered as horrific an abomination.

Under the law, they may have the right to the belief, however, do they have the right to act on it under the law?

LOL shit i knew that was your next tactic and didnt put it in there.

go ahead straw post the part of the article you think contradicts what I posted.

I agree all pedos are crafty

and as those with odd sexual orientations only make up about 3% of the population, YEA I would agree that most pedos are hetero seeing as they have the other 97% of population to develop from....

You mean the abuse by females right?

[Straw Man]

LOL shit i knew that was your next tactic and didnt put it in there.

go ahead straw post the part of the article you think contradicts what I posted.

the person being quoted in the article is someone named Archbishop Silvano Tomasi and my opinion is that attempt to whitewash this scandal as being about homosexuals and not pedophiles is horseshit.  He's just trying to shift the blame in an attempt to somehow make it not sound quite so bad.

you posted the following but clearly didn't even understand what he was saying and apparently didn't bother to read any further

"Of all priests involved in the abuses, 80 to 90 per cent belong to this sexual orientation minority which is sexually engaged with adolescent boys between the ages of 11 and 17," said Tomasi. His statement is backed up by a report commissioned by the US bishops that found that in the overwhelming majority of cases the clergy involved were homosexuals, with 81 percent of victims being adolescent males.

so clearly you didn't understand that this guy is claiming that, of all the priest who rape children, that he claims that 80-90% of them are actually just gay (or so therefore apparently not pedophiles).  How this makes any difference when you have a adult raping a child I have no idea.

After that you either stopped reading or you would have seen this part

Tomasi, however, defended the Church's record, saying that "available research" showed that only 1.5 to 5 per cent of Catholic clergy had been implicated in abuse allegations, and suggesting that some of the focus ought to be shifted to other organizations that are plagued by accusations of sex abuse

so all I can guess is that you think 1.5 to 5% of a population = a majority

maybe you misunderstood and jumped to conclusions before responding to my first post...

My post was not about the entire population only the catholic church as that is what the post I was responding to was referecing.

If a person is sexually involved/attracted to underage people...THEYRE PEDOPHILES

I made it pretty clear what I thought your claim was in this post and you didn't bother to challenge it at that point
