https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/education/2019/06/23/indianapolis-catholic-school-fires-gay-teacher-archdiocese/1543989001/Cathedral High School, located on the northeast side of Indianapolis, announced Sunday it is terminating a gay teacher in order to avoid a split with the archdiocese, which, last week, stripped Brebeuf Jesuit Preparatory School of its Catholic identity.
Brebeuf refused to fire its educator, who is in a public same-sex marriage.
Cathedral's board Chairman Matt Cohoat and President Rob Bridges posted a letter on the school's website announcing the decision to "separate" from a teacher in a public same-sex marriage. The letter is addressed to the "Cathedral family."

(15,200 posts)Lest someone nitpick you over that, so as to avoid discussing the subject of the thread, and your comment about it.
Oh, look, someone already did that. How utterly unsurprising.

I guess we should all be glad it didn't spell it as 'cathodic'.

(6,675 posts)what if I were catholic and I believed that God did not hate or want gay people to change? What if God made them that way on purpose? What if God wants them to marry if they want to??? Do you really want to answer to that in the afterlife???? I wouldn't.
