Teacher fired from job in Catholic School for marrying girlfriend

[Va Lefty]

"The administrators of Saints Peter and Paul Catholic School in Miami fired popular first–grade teacher Jocelyn Morffi because she married the love of her life and then posted wedding photos on social media."

"The school’s principal, Carlota Morales, sent a letter to parents announcing the firing this week, NBC4i reported. A spokeswoman for the Archdiocese of Miami accused Morffi of violating her contract, which likely is a reference to a “moral turpitude clause”—a vague and subjective concept usually reserved for people who commit felonies or otherwise “shameful” behavior.
Several parents whose children attend the school reacted to Morffi’s firing with outrage and confusion. One mother described telling her son that Morffi would no longer be his teacher, and the boy cried."

"“You know, to be a Catholic, you’re taught to be forgiving. But if you’re gay, forget about it,” parent Cynthia Cini told NBC."

Sadly, this is where we are heading with the introduction in many states of Orwellian named "religious freedom laws"

1. I don't get the concept of religious schools..

2. The Catholic Church has bifurcated values:

You can be gay but you can't practice being gay.

3. Heading?

This is not new and had nothing to do with Trump.

Private Religious schools have always had morales clauses, as is their right. If you plan on teaching kids about your invisible friend and his list of silly rules you have the right to hire people who also believe in your friend and will follow those silly rules.

4. Its a private religious school

I think they were justified. If it was a public school it would be a different story.

5. Leagally justified...I agree

Still doesn't make it right

6. Nah Catholics been nasty like this forever but never check out the clergy hurting kids. Nope

Gay people bad , women's rights bad , premarital sex birth control bad, but pedophile clergy complaints hidden or denied

7. Their hypocrisy may be

the only thing protecting some students from complete religious brainwashing.

8. Every catholic should visit the Vatican and see the display of wealth

and be allowed to see all the hidden stuff in their vaults.

Enough to end world poverty right there.

I went through the early sixties catholic (eternal damnation for non-catholics crap) education system and that gives me the right to criticize that cult. For as long as I live.

9. I just saw this on the local news. The parents and children are very upset

about the decision. One mother said that Jesus was about love, tolerance and forgiveness and that the school was in the wrong here. They said she was "The Mother Theresa" of the school and should be re-instated. This decision was about intolerance and ignorance and never should have happened. Anyway, Catholics will be Catholics. I hope this woman finds a good job at a school that deserves her.
