Hundreds March Against S.F. Archbishop’s 'Morality Clauses’
The San Francisco Chronicle ^ | 3/31/15 | Victoria Colliver

Carrying signs reading “Who Am I to Judge?” and “Love One Another,” hundreds of students, teachers and supporters marched Monday evening from the Mission Dolores Basilica to the Cathedral of St. Mary in San Francisco, where they delivered petitions opposing the archbishop’s “morality clauses” at four Catholic high schools.

San Francisco Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone has come under fire for calling on teachers and staff members at high schools within the archdiocese — Sacred Heart Cathedral, Archbishop Riordan, Serra and Marin Catholic — to accept contract and handbook language against homosexuality, same-sex marriage, abortion, contraceptives and artificial insemination.

Many of the demonstrators at Monday’s peaceful procession and vigil, which came at the beginning of a religious period known as Holy Week, said the archbishop’s proposals go against the spirit and teaching of Jesus.

“At the core of the religion is love, acceptance, respect and dignity,” said Gino Gresh, 18, a senior at Sacred Heart. “Whatever the archbishop is doing is completely contrary to that.”

Cordileone is fighting five decades of cultural compromise and theological anarchy in this diocese, under the likes of Quinn, Levada and Niederauer. It may be too much.

It’s a very tough job. We’ve seen the same thing in Chicago and Boston. But I think he’ll stick to his guns on this one.

...where they delivered petitions...

Oh no! Not petitions! What will we do?

Asking a Catholic School to not be Catholic
Is like asking a Jewish restaurant to not be Kosher

“... the archbishop’s proposals go against the spirit and teaching of Jesus.”

Jesus is Son of the God who took out two cities for their immorality. These fools better watch out, or they might go the same way.

So?

Let ‘em march.

Keeps them out of the colleges where their IQ is even further reduced.

I seem to remember that He said, "Go and sin no more."

But who is He to judge what sin is? It's all about love, man.

Hmmmm, it’s already hard to find a Catholic college that’s Catholic.

Georgetown is a festering pool of putridness, with Notre Dame apparently not far behind.

Pray for him and all spiritual worriers. Satan is growing very bold.

The Church will prevail. “Be not afraid.” “I am with you always.”

I recently looked up Seton Hall University. It is a diocesan-run university. It has a well-written statement that it follows the magisterium faithfully.

The left is trying to eliminate the concept of religious liberty. They’re deciding you MUST live how they dictate, you are not allowed to live by your own convictions.

Pure tyranny.

Seton Hall produced the likes of Dennis Kozlowaski, Robert Brennan and I believe more than one Playboy playmate. It’s also next to a very dangerous part of Newark.

No, but I'll bet there's something in there about morons hijacking a thread with a non-sequitur attack, thus actually aiding the homosexual activists by opening up an old wound while the homos try to open a new one.
