Religion 100% aside, it's"okay" because she breached her contract LadyLorraine Send a noteboard - 05/09/2010 12:18:36 AM
Whether or not you agree with such things, that is the case. Personally, I don't like it and I'm glad that it wasn't the school's decision as it seems she was important to the students, but she knew what she signed when she signed it and knew the risk she was taking. Once again, I do NOT like it, but I'm not going to get up in arms about it either. She took a job at a catholic institution--knowing the catholic stance on homosexuality--and made a "public" action against their stance, knowing it was against her contract. Of course, I'm so-so on how public a marriage is, but the qualifications in most places for a "common law" marriage tends to entail publicly behaving and ascribing to "being married", so I'm not going to get in a fuss over it.

The part I like the least is that they seemed to have pushed her to resign instead of be fired...you tend not to receive unemployment when you've resigned, although I'm not sure you would have for being fired due to a breech of contract either.

There is a difference in the degree of the transgressions and the public nature of them as well. - 05/09/2010 02:30:06 AM 980 Views
agreed. There may be some hypocrisy in the church employment practices... - 05/09/2010 02:49:44 AM 949 Views
That's the crux of it. - 07/09/2010 11:24:44 AM 1094 Views

She chose to work for a Catholic institution. - 05/09/2010 05:54:23 PM 890 Views
what a stupid thing to say - 05/09/2010 07:38:16 PM 1024 Views
Um... no? One can be excommunicated for any number of things. *NM* - 05/09/2010 08:22:29 PM 360 Views
yeah back in the time when there was no electricity *NM* - 05/09/2010 08:25:17 PM 403 Views
...um, no. I'm not sure where you're getting that from, but it's completely wrong. - 06/09/2010 01:06:49 AM 936 Views
You can't be excommunicated for being gay - 06/09/2010 02:51:21 AM 1019 Views
No one here said you could. - 06/09/2010 03:00:07 AM 954 Views
I am not disagreeing with that, excommunications do happen - 06/09/2010 03:07:57 AM 1031 Views
Wow! What an underwhelming argument. - 06/09/2010 04:24:32 AM 994 Views
Actually, the Pope has the right to say "sorry, you're not a Catholic anymore". - 05/09/2010 08:43:34 PM 1144 Views
See above post - 06/09/2010 02:52:25 AM 874 Views

Nope - 06/09/2010 03:03:48 AM 929 Views
Inaction, like, for example, not saving lives where you could have is also grounds for expulsion. - 06/09/2010 06:35:31 PM 793 Views
Hmm, but I think that's a different type of inaction than the kind he's discussing - 06/09/2010 08:02:50 PM 1111 Views
I never infered that that was the case. - 06/09/2010 08:24:30 PM 808 Views
mmm, but your example isn't inaction ALONE - 06/09/2010 08:46:56 PM 910 Views
Hmm interesting question. - 06/09/2010 10:35:19 PM 996 Views
is excommunication about "use" though? - 06/09/2010 10:36:55 PM 1031 Views
I don't know. - 07/09/2010 05:47:42 AM 875 Views
yah, I'd agree with that - 07/09/2010 11:59:01 AM 1032 Views

It's pretty hard to argue with that one. *NM* - 08/09/2010 04:18:41 AM 347 Views
Yeah, was just surprised they'd made it official is all. - 08/09/2010 04:36:28 AM 977 Views
You are purposefully trying to split hairs - 07/09/2010 03:15:08 AM 914 Views
Calling me an idiot... - 07/09/2010 05:52:39 AM 926 Views

does excommunication mean you are no longer Catholic? - 06/09/2010 08:52:58 PM 812 Views
i'm pretty sure we have this conversation on a weekly basis. *NM* - 06/09/2010 09:05:33 PM 385 Views
Yeah. - 06/09/2010 10:34:10 PM 794 Views

Depends on who you ask - 07/09/2010 03:12:23 AM 1056 Views
It's both. - 07/09/2010 05:54:13 AM 1005 Views
I'm unsure about that. It doesn't invalidate baptism. - 07/09/2010 08:23:33 AM 874 Views
I thought conformation is what made you a member of the church *NM* - 07/09/2010 06:42:36 PM 350 Views
