Ok I know these sorts of things have been going on for quite some time. I've really never understood w hy, when teaching at a Catholic school and working under a morals contract, we have cases over and over like this. And recently we can add to the list the same-sex attraction teachers who, at some point, do something so obvious that the Catholic School is caught in a precarious situation.
Often times the decision of the Catholic School comes across, at first blush, as mean-spirited, uncharitable and un-Christian like. However, something must indeed be done, but what?
The Church, with a capital C, has done a poor job at times, especially in education, of forming and teaching our own on the why of her unshakable and proper teachings concerning life, marriage and, dare I say the word: SIN. But the Church has also failed, at times, by example, to miss the mark on things like charity and mercy.
Of course, when I say Church, I am talking about those entrusted with it's teaching and governance.
Two of my favorite bloggers have looked very carefully at this latest event that occurred in Montana.
Please give them a careful read:
