The president of Eastside Catholic School has resigned amid the fallout from her decision to dismiss the vice principal for marrying his gay partner.
The president and CEO of Eastside Catholic School has resigned amid unrelenting protests over her decision to dismiss the school’s vice principal for marrying his gay partner.
In December, Sister Mary Tracy fired Vice Principal Mark Zmuda, who also served as the school’s swim coach, saying his marriage to a man violated the Roman Catholic teachings he’d agreed to uphold when he began working at the school.
Her resignation, submitted to the Eastside board of trustees Monday and made public Tuesday, was effective immediately.
It comes just days before a planned schoolwide meeting Thursday, during which board members — who have been the target of persistent lobbying by students, alumni and parents — are expected to field parents’ questions.
The circumstances surrounding Zmuda’s dismissal — and the demonstrations that followed — have presented a public-relations challenge for the private, independent Sammamish school of 935 middle-school and high-school students, affiliated with the Seattle Archdiocese but overseen by its own board of trustees.

So were all the Church Fathers guilty of “spiritual blindness”?? Every one of them were Catholic. If not for your Catholic ancestors you would be be around to today to spout off about their faith.
And the arguments resorted to have worked to expose that, by God's grace .
That was the only one from there, and they should be trying to suppress the number, but this is simply more fabrication from you in trying to avoid the fact of liberal Rome. Your sophistry continues to be an argument against Rome.
>> If not for your Catholic ancestors ...
The rebellious brats always know better.
>> So parents and students are surprised that this is a Roman Catholic school?
Yup, in the state of Washington where men copulate with horses.
I’m sure the surprises are plenty among every denomination. Should we investigate?
AMEN!
Instead of relying on what the CC teaches about 'others', be concerned about yourself.
Paul - who God used to write 3/4 of the NT - was spirit filled. Learn from Paul by what he wrote while inspired by the Spirit - which we know is Truth as it is straight from God and not 'man' who deceives.
The surprise isn’t about the denomination, but the parents.
Why?
At some point the State of WA may get involved for that very purpose.
You keep resorting to your same old damage control assertions of bias and you expect someone to take you seriously, and when RCs are the ones who are discouraged from engaging in objective examination, and are in bondage to defend Rome. Yet the stats are are from multiple sources, some even Catholic or sponsored by them, and without exception they show Catholics as overall liberal.
How about you find a Catholic Church poll...,
Do it! But that would not constitute what RCs overall believe, as Rome treats even rare attendees as members in life and in death, and so you must own them.
(notice no one is asked do they actually go to church,
Notice you evidence you have no even read thru the stats which include this, but RCs often just dismiss them such of hand because they impugn Rome.
You sound more like a cultist the more you post, sad to say.
“You sound more like a cultist the more you post, sad to say”
And you sound like a fallen away Catholic that got spanked by a mean old nun when you were a kid. So you spent the rest of your life trying to prove she actually worked for Satan and not Christ.
