Catholic school fires teacher for planning same-sex wedding

[Franzl]

I understand the church following its own teachings, but I don't see what this has to do with employment.

The church is welcome to condemn same sex marriage, but I don't think a fair argument can be made that this teacher was any less qualified to teach his subject because he happens to go against church teaching.

Catholic schools are there to teach students about their religion in a way that public schools in the US can't, but that doesn't mean they should be allowed to discriminate in employment. This goes beyond how far I think religious freedom extends.

Ah yes, Christians are being persecuted in America. I almost forgot.

Both legal and proper, of course. Quite settled law.

Whether something is legal and "settled" isn't relevant. It's about whether it's a good thing to do. And if it should be legal.

Absolutely disgusting.

Why shouldn't the school have done just that?

Fake Christian.

Your position seems contrary to what I would consider proper Christian values.
