What is truly a shame is that the non-Christians likely will not have any problem blending in.
Due to sensitivity on FR today particularly ... I will make the disclaimer that such a problem would not be isolated to Catholicism — there are plenty of pretend Protestants out there too, and the non-Protestants blend in all-too-well with supposedly practicing Protestants.
Sin remains universal.

Woman, pretending to be Catholic said: “ I know it sounds bad.”
Yep. Except to Satan, lady. He loves what you’re doing.
I know a principal who once lied about being a practicing Catholic to get a job in a Catholic school. He left the next year and claimed the Catholic school wasn’t nice to him because he was a Protestant (when he had told everyone at the Catholic school he was a Catholic).
As well she should be about something as serious as Communion. Here is a suggestion for her regarding partaking in Communion: DON'T. At least not until she can be a Catholic in heart as well as in name.
Meanwhile qualified Catholics like myself go without employment.
This really frustrates me. These jobs are for Catholics. There’s a whole secular school system out there. If you don’t like Catholicism, go there.
This would bother me because I converted from being a Protestant. Why lie when some of us did the hard work?
I say quiz them on the catechism. That should separate the wheat from the chaff!
Acknowledging a sense of guilt about the deception, the woman nevertheless stated that, “I know what I believe in. I support abortion. I support gay marriage. I’m going through what I have to go through to get a job. I know it sounds bad.”
...
According to the OCT, there were 12,200 new teachers in the province in 2009, but only about 5,000 positions.
“What you can see, fairly quickly, is you have twice as many teachers as you do job opportunities and that has been going on for a number of years now,” said McIntyre.
A 2009 report from the education advocacy organization People for Education revealed that up to 335 Ontario schools face closure in the next three years because of declining enrolment, which stems from the province’s low birth rate.
Plummeting birth rates have already resulted in the closure of over 400 schools in Ontario this decade, and the Ontario Ministry of Education revealed that this year total elementary and secondary school enrollment has dropped by nearly 100,000 students from 2002 numbers.
Statistics Canada has predicted that student enrolment in elementary and secondary schools will drop by 500,000 in the next 10 years.
So let me see, she wants a job as a teacher, but believes in abortion and the number of children requiring teachers has fallen. Does anyone see a connection here?
“”I haven’t gone for my, um, what do you call it, the bread thing yet...Communion. I’m nervous about it,” she added.”
Nervous? It’s not a difficult process. The priest will pretend that he, a human, has the power to command God to come down from heaven at his whim and turn into a wafer. Listen to him go through that, then eat the wafer. Simple.
Why not just ask for baptism and confirmation certificates? Or would that be an invasion of privacy?
It just proves that the environment at the Catholic Schools is still far better than the public schools.
Years ago, In a moment when I think we were particularly misbehaved, our home-room teacher at my Catholic grammer revealed to us that she could teach at the public school and make more than twice as much salary. So why did she stay? “For the Love of the Church and the fact that you kids mean something to me.”
I never forgot that comment!
My gal had to produce both a baptismal and confirmation certificate to the diocese when she applied to teach parochial school.
My cousin was principal of a Catholic school even though he wasn’t Catholic ... and they knew that when they hired him. But later, he and his wife became Catholic, so it’s all good.
This isn’t so new. Individuals like Teddy Kennedy, John Kerry, and Nancy Pelosi have been lying about being Catholics for years, to help them get and keep their jobs.
Especially given St. Paul's admonition:
"Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of profaning the body and blood of the Lord. Let a man examine himself, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup"
(1 Cor. 11:27–28).
This is an absolute requirement which can never be dispensed. To receive the Eucharist without sanctifying grace in your soul profanes the Eucharist in the most grievous manner.
Is perusing the FR threads a full or part time occupation?
Irony: the reason that so few teaching jobs exist is because the culture of death that she supports has limited the number of children.
