Did there really need to be any more explanation?
Or are catholics not allowed to uphold the tenets of their faith in their own private schools?
They should be but there must also be consistency. Were I this Ms. Drumbgoole’s lawyer I would have my investigator discover if any staff at the school are known divorced and remarried Catholics. If there are then her claim of discrimination is at least up for debate.
The two suspended administrators were NOT upholding the tenets of their faith. The article that ChurchMilitant took its information, verbatim, explains that Macaluso and Vail were both supportive of Drumgoole.
So why were they fired?
Apparently, Macaluso was outed as divorced and remarried. This would be consistent with the diocese’s assertions.
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.
