Catholic ping!

[Paulie]

Tough nookies - don’t let the door hit you on the @$$ on the way out.

The Pope doesn’t run the Parish schools. They don’t get one dime from the Vatican.

[AnAmericanMother]

That isn't going to get her anywhere.

The Holy Father frequently "shoots from the lip" on many topics, but he is rock solid on homosexual activity and abortion. Even though the news media don't report it.

[Paulie]

I know.

[Jolla]

So I ask you, I beg you, I implore you to ask God to reveal to you the next steps:

HE already has and I am afraid you will not like it.

So why in the world was a lesbian in a faux “marriage” ever hired by the school, let alone placed in charge of the religious education of the students for 8 YEARS! I can just imagine the corruption of the truth of the Gospel heard by those students, whose parents sent their children to the school at least in part to have Catholic doctrine instilled in them along with the three “R”s.

[NewHampshireDuo]

Gee, if Jesus just hadn’t mouthed off at those dastardly Jews he would have lived to a ripe old age.

Schools describing themselves as Catholic take on the responsibility of teaching and witnessing the Catholic faith in a manner true to Catholic belief. There's nothing complicated or controversial in this. It's a simple matter of honesty...would that parents who send their kids to a Catholic school and then become enraged and create an embarrassing circus when the school insists that its staff live up to what the Church teaches could be as honest - or just plain sane.....

Whoever hired this woman needs to be fired. Gays are litigious when one disagrees with celebrating their lifestyle.

[HomerBohn]

She’s crying on the right shoulder.

[wildwoodla]

OK you know what? Enough. I’m out... recovering Catholic.

[caseinpoint]

“But Jesus invited all to the table, saints and sinners alike.”

Jesus was compassionate to those who were struggling to overcome sin. To the adulterous woman, he frankly forgave her but also said “sin no more”. There is a vast difference between acknowledging and struggling with sin—we all do that—and being proud of and celebrating sin as the LGBT crowd does.

[piusv]

Yep. And who wants to take a bet that this situation doesn’t make it to the Sin-nod.

[jettester]

What parent in their right minds would want to place their child in a school selling itself as Catholic but hiring a lesbian, knowing of her relationship status and then advising said lesbian to hide it from parents? How could you trust anything out of that leadership hell-hole?

[utahagen]

I have a connection to Waldron Mercy. Whoever hired Margie Winters advised Winters to keep her “married lesbian” status a secret from the parents. Winters had the plain-clothed-nun appearance of many ReligiousEd teachers, so the parents had no reason to think anything was amiss. Eventually, one of the parents — probably via Google - learned about Winters’ gay wedding. Once the word was out, the parents split into two groups: ones who didn't understand why Winters had been hired in the first place, and the “progressive” idiots who have encouraged their children to write letters to the Pope, asking him to get Margie Winters rehired. That's how it all unfolded.

[NetAddicted]

They used to be nuns? Former Mercy sisters? And they expect the Pope to listen to those witches?

[ebb tide]

Based on past reports, Francis will probably personally call the woman and tell her to sneak around and find another Catholic school that is unaware of her sinful lifestyle and hire on there.

He did that with adulterous woman in Argentina regarding her desire to receive Holy Communion while in a state of mortal sin.

There has been a lot of stuff in the local papers about the Pope saying people should stop focusing on abortion and gay marriage, and focus on saving the environment.

Local priest did a talk about it.

The Catholic church has a real problem right now. Either doctrine has changed, or a large part of the Catholic church in the USA is in schism.
