I'm shocked such a thing could happen in today's world of practicing faggotry without consequences!!

Parents are up in arms over Sts. Peter and Paul Catholic School’s decision and are demanding answers after Jocelyn Morffi, a beloved teacher, was dismissed, the Miami Herald reported.

The first-grade teacher, who had taught at the school for nearly seven years, returned to her job Wednesday after marrying her partner in a same-sex wedding ceremony over the weekend. That's when she learned she was no longer employed.

“This weekend I married the love of my life and unfortunately I was terminated from my job as a result,” Morffi wrote in a social media post. “In their eyes I’m not the right kind of Catholic for my choice in partner.”

The school informed parents of their decision in a letter but did not cite a reason for letting Morffi go.

I'm sure there are plenty of secular Public Schools that will be willing to hire her.

Where she will be free to indoctrinate at will.

Wow.  Good for Sts Peter and Paul for having moral standards and sticking to them.

My question is, what's wrong with the parents who objected to this decision??
Character still matters.  It always matters.

I wear a mask as an exercise in liberty and love for others.  To see it as an infringement of liberty is to entirely miss the point.  Be kind.

Not exactly.  The pic at the story would seem to suggest the ‘wife’ is going Sherilyn Fenn.

Agreed.

I hope they fire divorced and remarried ones, too.

Why?  It’s against Canon law to divorce, and remarry.

There's a complication on that one.   (Maybe not for the Catholic Church, but for Christendom as a whole).   If a divorce and remarriage occur before one becomes a Christian, and is repentant and forgiven, then it's a different case entirely.

If a heterosexual couple is living together and unrepentant, then the parallel is accurate.

In the case of this teacher, there is clearly no repentance, thus the sin is not forgiven.

Even fruits and nuts recognize the value of a good Catholic education, but their tolerance only goes so far.

That is a very good point.  The Catholic school system does harbor many a liberal looking to get their little bundle of joy a quality education.

They can be partners, but they can't be wives. Similarly, a man can't have a husband.  Husband and wife are like yin and yang....you can't have one without the other.

She was probably a good teacher.

As far as we know, she was.  I don't understand why she made this public before finding another placement.  The Catholics are non affirming, and they are notorious for firing openly gay employees.

Then she should have no problem finding a job at a Public School.

Notorious eh.

Imagine the power of language choice.  When someone becomes 'notorious' for living according to their beliefs.
