There are peaceful protesters out there. There have also been a lot of vandals, rioters, and looters operating under the cover the former provide. Some of the former have turned into the latter.

That some people are unable to admit this is a sad statement on the state of the world.

People were offended that he referred to BLM “protestors” as terrorists.

There's a lot more to it than that.

He's a rabble rouser who intentionally pushes the envelope. Of course he has every legal right to but the Diocese has every right to get fed up.

Garces Memorial High School has apparently dismissed a theology teacher after more than 100 students, parents and alumni signed an online petition complaining that he’s been spreading “unacceptable messages of ignorance and hate” on social media and in the classroom.

What a bunch of BS.
Looks like it doesn’t matter if your feelings got hurt.

That’s the gun grabbers’ rationale to disarm us!

“Anyone can snap, therefore no one should own a gun.”

So glad I’m retired (uncancellable?) with a short lifespan left. These days it’s like being 85 years old in Berlin in 1945.

ONE ChiCom military laboratory did this to us!

He’s in good company with this Catholic priest in Carmel IN.

Read a letter by Margret Sanger who wanted birth control for the Negroes, Jews, and Italians (Catholics?)

Interesting article on Irish Catholic immigration in the 1840’s and 1850’s, how they were hated and “fundamental belief that Catholicism was incompatible with basic American values”

This happened to a religion teacher a year ago at my daughters Catholic school- (K-8) not for posting something but because he taught controversial things like marriage is between a man and woman and that abortion is wrong. The lib kids told their parents and the diocese ran him out. We came to his defense as he was absolutely the basis for sending our daughter to a catholic school- but to no avail. I let my daughter attend the next year with mixed feelings because the alternative here in nova is horrible. The woman who picked up her kids in front of me had a hippies for Hillary bumper sticker need I say more about the state of the Catholic Church and catholic education. It mirrors the culture.

As Martin Niemöler in Hitler’s Germany proclaimed, “First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out— because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.”


I have to point out that Niemöler's quote has been often misrepresented over the years; interestingly, despite being held in a concentration camp himself, he actually made no mention of the Jews.

Here is his actual quote; I've put the key words in bold. (A "Gewerkschafter" translates roughly to a tradesman in a union.):

Als die Nazis die Kommunisten holten, habe ich geschwiegen; ich war ja kein Kommunist.
Als sie die Sozialdemokraten einsperrten, habe ich geschwiegen; ich war ja kein Sozialdemokrat.
Als sie die Gewerkschafter holten, habe ich geschwiegen, ich war ja kein Gewerkschafter.
Als sie mich holten, gab es keinen mehr, der protestieren konnte.

(Your point, however, is very well-stated.)

Nearly every teacher in this nation has been trained by godless Marxists in Marxist-run colleges and universities. This is true for private schools, too. SCARY!

I was very active on Free Republic on school issues but not very much in the past few years. I honestly feel it is too late to do much to change the direction that K-12 schooling is leading this country.
