They don’t sound very Catholic to me, these headline writers can’t get anything right
I find it odd that so many Catholic high schools have it right when it comes to these types of moral issues.
But the Catholic colleges and universities? They can be as sick and pervserse as any state or public school.
The saga over the Cincy Catholic teacher contracts is making national news now.
Yeah, c'mon, sexual morality is so old-fashioned.
said Robert Hague, a high school English teacher for 50 years. He's leaving his job rather than sign because he's opposed to "the language, the intent, and the tone of this contract,"
Actually, he's leaving his job because he has to pee every 20 minutes.
“It is an embarrassment and a scandal”
Phony scandals PING!
Freep-mail me to get on or off my pro-life and Catholic List:
Please ping me to note-worthy Pro-Life or Catholic threads, or other threads of general interest.
You’re Fired!
“”It is an embarrassment and a scandal, and will drive even more Catholics away from an institution so out of touch with its times,” said Robert Hague, a high school English teacher for 50 years.”
Why does this idiot English teacher think Catholic parents send their kids to Catholic School in the first place? To learn about how to sin against their religion?
If they closed all the Catholic schools, his school tax would skyrocket. And he would find some way to blame the Catholic schools. Idiot!
What part of “Catholic school” didn’t you understand?
As the alum of a Protestant junior-senior high, I’d reply, no, you want the archdiocese to pay you to be a public-school teacher. And the archdiocese should have the right, as should my alma mater and its affiliated grade school, to tell you that if you want to be held to public-school morals clauses, go look for work in public schools.
This is reporting?
I hope for two things right off the bat: I hope Archbishop Schnurr will stick to his guns, put up his dukes, and in mixed-martial-metaphorical style batten dow the hatches and stick with his policy.
I also hope he will find many "teachable moments" in which he can direct, guide, and catechize his flock and the community at large.
Another obvious proof tht we are decades behind on that.
The first tier scoundrels will leave immediately, and the second tier scoundrels will be found out and dismissed; but the end result will be a much better and stronger institution.
However, in “version 2” of the morality clause should include an agreement that if found in variance, they agree to forfeit “tenure and any and all accrued benefits”, as well as a binding arbitration clause if they challenge their dismissal. With the arbitrator appointed by the bishop of that diocese.
I can't decide if I should curse or pray for this guy.The one thing I *won't* do is agree with him.
“regardless of your religion”
It’s such an obvious question - “regardless of your religion” - if you’re not Catholic, why would you want to teach at a Catholic school? Makes no sense.
“It is an embarrassment and a scandal, and will drive even more Catholics away from an institution so out of touch with its times,” said Robert Hague, a high school English teacher for 50 years.
Seems a little strange that anyone could be outraged that teaching in a Catholic school requires being a Catholic.
“we’re all being asked to act out of fear because the lawyers have taken over,” Rosen added.
Nonsense. You’re being required to make a choice: conform to the standards of your employer, or seek other employment.
It is really creepy that you would use the word “fear” to describe your feelings at confronting morality, though.
