In a rebuke to the archbishop of San Francisco, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors unanimously passed a resolution Tuesday urging the conservative Catholic leader to respect the rights of teachers and administrators.
The measure comes after Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone included morality clauses in a new handbook and proposed changes to the labor contract of teachers at four Bay Area Catholic high schools, setting off a wave of opposition.
“These actions really conflict with the values of San Francisco,” said Supervisor Mark Farrell, who introduced the resolution. “In San Francisco, we stand up for everyone. We stand up for our LGBT community and honor and embrace those who do the same.”
The morality clauses include language against homosexuality, same-sex marriage, abortion, contraceptives and artificial insemination.
Farrell, a practicing Catholic, said on Tuesday that they create “a culture of fear that has no place in our schools right now.” He has previously said city officials are considering legal action to prevent what he described as Cordileone’s discriminatory measures from going into effect.
Roughly a dozen teachers and students from the affected high schools appeared during the public comment period at the meeting to express their opposition to the morality clauses. Just one person spoke in support of the measure, telling the opponents they should be be ashamed of themselves.

As always, the Church's greatest enemies are within.
There comes a point when the Church should consider closing these schools. The religious who originally staffed them have long gone and they're now populated and run by those who've essentially embraced the zeitgeist. I fear Cordileone's efforts are too little, too late.
In San Francisco, we stand up for everyone.
and they mean ANYONE and EVERYONE regardless of how vile and dangerous!
Bwahaha ... in his dreams.
A 'practicing anything' would at least try to conform to the rules and guidelines of the organization that he claims to belong. This Farrell guy belongs to the Church of Farrell.
Issue an ultimatum. Do it my way, or I’ll close the schools tomorrow.
Public officials are going to take legal action?!
Have funlooking for a decent public school for your kids.
Throw it out of court and find them in contempt for this frivolous nonsense, and read them the 1st Amendment too.
**SF Supes Tell Archbishop His Morality Clauses Are Unwanted**
So do they also tell God that they don’t want Morality in HIS Commandments?
“Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar’s and unto God the things that are God’s.”
Morality is, more than anything else in our lives, one of the things that are God’s. The Church must follow God’s Word on moral questions, or it is merely a convenient building for socializing. If the Church is hiring people who are not suitable role models, then it is failing in its responsibility to set a moral example.
The Archbishop could fix that before the day is out, and would if he were truly serious.
The “values” of San Francisco are what’s wrong with the place.
To which a group of conservative Catholic leaders responded by passing a resolution urging the San Francisco Board of Supervisors to respect the rights of the Church and its disciples, as well as the Constitutional right to freedom of religion.
The first amendment has been perverted to mean “you aren’t allowed to pray but we are allowed to regulate you.”
Hey, SF Supes ... Catholic schools are not supported by tax dollars (UNWANTED anyway because of the strings you would attach) ... so you don’t have right to tell the Archbishop how to run his schools.
And we look contemptuously upon families composed of father, mother and normal children.
San Francisco: the bastion of evil. America's example of Sodom (or Gomorrah).
I believe the implication is that the city government stands up for teachers without morals. At least that’s how I read the statement.
thats right.... San Francisco is now officially...... utterly immoral
“Cordeleone”: Heart of a lion. And so he is.
“In San Francisco, we stand up for everyone.”
How rich is that? SF stands up for everyone. Except, of course, for orthodox/traditional Catholics/Christians/Jews. They don’t count.
McElroy, the new archbishop of San Diego, has been an auxiliary in San Francisco for years.
He’s a sodomy enthusiast. He’s for Communion for abortionists, which means he does not believe abortion is a serious sin.
Cordileone is trying to govern a church THAT CEASED TO EXIST LONG AGO.
The only solution is to close the institutions that have become too rotten to govern. That would certainly include Holy Redeemer in the Castro, and apparently includes the schools.
Go here and support Archbishop Cordileone.
