It's pretty awful what's going on. I'd say it's completely unfair. What say you? -- Posted by Moatilliata at 2:53 pm on Dec. 30, 2008 gj -- Posted by Ndskewll at 2:53 pm on Dec. 30, 2008 She got fired because her fiance had been married before? That is ridiculous. -- Posted by miNx at 2:54 pm on Dec. 30, 2008 catholic schools, and there dumbass policies. -- Posted by sadnessness at 2:55 pm on Dec. 30, 2008 how is that allowed? -- Posted by agerask at 2:57 pm on Dec. 30, 2008 well, it's understandable.  my dad who is a devout catholic would look very far down on this "marriage." i'm amazed the church let them get married together. -- Posted by ReturnOfPatches at 2:59 pm on Dec. 30, 2008 Quote: from agerask at 2:57 pm on Dec. 30, 2008 well, it's understandable. my dad who is a devout catholic would look very far down on this "marriage." i'm amazed the church let them get married together. They didn't get married within the church. -- Posted by Al Legator at 2:59 pm on Dec. 30, 2008 It's not a new story- this has been Catholic policy for as long as I can remember.Working in the Catholic system she would or should have known that. I don't agree with the position but it goes WAY back to some fundamental Catholic (and Anglica, maybe others) doctrine. I hope that she wins but like the article said, the federal law supports their position and since the war has already been fought before, I don't give her much hope. It's a shame but that's the way it goes. -- Posted by deadsilence at 2:59 pm on Dec. 30, 2008 I say I didnt bother reading it -- Posted by Dustin at 3:06 pm on Dec. 30, 2008 omg that is hella crazy! -- Posted by Shogun villimax at 3:59 pm on Dec. 30, 2008 Quote: from ReturnOfPatches at 2:52 pm on Dec. 30, 2008 http://www.mysanantonio.com/news/religion/Central_Catholic_teacher_terminated_over_marriage.html" target="_top">http://http://www.mysanantonio.com/news/religion/Central_Catholic_teacher_terminated_over_marriage.html This is happening in my town.

It's some crap. -- Posted by Shaknbake at 8:54 am on Dec. 31, 2008 Quote: from ReturnOfPatches at 2:52 pm on Dec. 30, 2008 What say you? If you're going to work as a Catholic school teacher, you need to respect what that entails. You don't get to ignore the teachings of the church just because it inconveniences you. She's a stupid woman for thinking she should get to sue. What a Catholic does is a Catholic's business, but what an employee of a religious, Catholic institution does is not just between them and their god. -- Posted by Shaknbake at 8:55 am on Dec. 31, 2008 Quote: from Ndskewll at 2:53 pm on Dec. 30, 2008 She got fired because her fiance had been married before? That is ridiculous. She wasn't forced to become a Catholic or forced to work in a Catholic institution. What's ridiculous is that she has the nerve to seek legal action against the school. -- Posted by Wilder at 9:51 am on Dec. 31, 2008 How is it unfair for a Catholic institution to hold its employees to Catholic standards? -- Posted by biflexible at 11:05 am on Dec. 31, 2008 PSST. The school employs people not of Catholic faith. -- Posted by Destinys Child at 6:00 pm on Dec. 31, 2008 Quote: from biflexible at 1:05 pm on Dec. 31, 2008 PSST. The school employs people not of Catholic faith. Is there some kind of guarantee of continued employment if the employer's policies aren't followed? -- Posted by Macropiper at 8:23 pm on Dec. 31, 2008 I am fairly certain that this would be illegal in New Zealand, the school would probably end up being fined a few ten thousand dollars, over here. Should be illegal everywhere else too, though.
