ministry, many nuns, the priest who gave the masses—all were gay, as were some teachers.

But if any one “came out,” he or she would be fired. This, I understood was more due to parents,
than to administration. Also, the church’s teachings, I.e.Vatican, must be seen to be observed, even if in practice many of the religious and lay folks did not follow them.

The school would hire non-Catholics to teach, however. Interestingly, the young head of student ministry ended up with one of the students.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
