Catholic School Leaders Ousted Amid Lesbian Court Battle
Church Militant ^ | 9/14/16 | Joseph Pelletier

The archdiocese is refusing to disclose reason behind sudden removal

PARAMUS, N.J. (ChurchMilitant.com) - Two administrators at a Catholic high school currently engaged in a legal battle with a lesbian teacher have been ousted without explanation.

According to the archdiocese of Newark Tuesday, Pres. James P. Vail and Principal Stephanie Macaluso "are on leave from their posts" at Paramus Catholic High School effective immediately. The reasons, archdiocesan spokesman James Goodness stated, are personal, and further details would not be given.

Paramus Catholic High School in northeastern New Jersey is presently fighting a lawsuit filed by Kate Drumgoole, an open lesbian fired from her position after school officials were informed Drumgoole was "married" to another woman. Drumgoole alleges her firing violates state anti-discrimination laws.

Goodness did not explicitly declare the removal of Pres. Vail and Prin. Macaluso to be unassociated with the ongoing litigation, but instead remarked, "If you try to link everything together it might not be accurate."

Paramus issued an email to school parents Tuesday announcing the superintendent and associate superintendent of schools for the Newark archdiocese would temporarily fill the vacancies until "an interim principal" could be named.

The attorney representing Vail, named as being directly responsible for Drumgoole's termination, maintained he is still "the attorney of record" for the school president "as of now," but declined to comment further. Both legal representation for Drumgoole and the plaintiff herself have made no public comment on the removal of Vail and Macaluso.

Not that it’s any of your business, but they were naturally conceived during the first marriage of one of them.

Lovely young ladies they are.

“Lovely young ladies they are.”

Who have been willfully deprived of a father.

Wrong yet again.

He had full visitation rights and, once he sobered up, exercised those rights regularly. They still see him and he visits their home often.

But do keep trying. You may accidentally stumble over something correct yet.

So, you are arguing that a broken family is just as good as an intact marriage?

That’s the argument that the sodomite lobby makes.

When did I make that argument? Your comprehension skills need serious work. Hard to believe you can make it through the day....

Or are catholics not allowed to uphold the tenets of their faith in their own private schools?

Unfortunately the courts have held that when a Catholic school opens its admissions to students regardless of faith then they loose a lot of the religious protections. Even if they retain Catholic teachings.

I'm wondering if the two fired knew that the teacher was a lesbian when they hired her, and left the school open to this kind of lawsuit.

Adds more insight.

So, G-d isn’t against homosexuality, because He couldn’t be against your oh-so-nice neighbors?

Since you never answered my question as to why you enclosed straight with quotes, as in “straight” daughters, I can only assume they are not straight. Major problem with homosexuals raising children.

You can assume whatever you like. The fact is that the young ladies are heterosexual.

But go right ahead and make an ass of yourself. You certainly don’t need any help doing that.

"I’m not fit to judge their rightness with God. Neither are you."

At an attempt to stay on topic concerning your anecdotal evidence, do your lesbian neighbors claim to be Christians?

If so, "judging"/expelling sin within the Church is an explicit command. The only caveat is if the are new to the faith and have not matured/in the process of repenting. Eventually everyone professing the faith must take up the Cross and leave behind behaviors contrary to God's commands. If a person could care less, then you are correct, that is for God to judge.

Yep, you play with “Caesar’s” gold, to play by “Caesar’s” rules. This mentality should have been exhibited decades earlier as Administrative Law slowly progressed into tyrannical regulations/broke Jefferson’s concept of the “Wall” (Whose context was widely distorted by Justice Black/cohorts).

They do not claim to be Christian.

That is their choice, live and let live, however the homosexual community should also respect the people of faith, especially within their institutions/business.

How many times are you going to avoid answering my question: why did you enclose straight with parentheses when you wrote ‘ “straight” daughters’? Why don’t you want to answer, since this is the fourth time I’ve asked you?

Because it’s a euphemism you dolt.

The correct word is “heterosexual”.

Now p*** off.

Since you aren’t very religious, you obviously don’t care about G-d’s words. You show that in your demeanor, also. And your “friends”.

That’s between me and God now ain’t it.

Why don’t you attend to your own beam.

Thanks in advance. Nothing but love for ya.
