A Ohio Catholic school has forced its choir and band director to resign after telling schools officials he and his boyfriend recently became engaged.
Brian Panetta, who worked at Sandusky Central Catholic School for almost five years, was terminated Jan. 3 on the grounds that his engagement violated the religious teachings of the Catholic Church as it applies to marriage — just hours after he told school administrators about his engagement.
So the stance of Catholic schools in 2014 is that it’s okay if you’re gay and a member of our faculty, but if you try to enter a committed relationship, we’ll fire you? Yeah, that makes a whole lot of fucking sense.
If only the teacher had sexually abused students instead. Then the church would have just moved him to another school.
I wonder how they forced him resign? Why didn’t he just make them fire him? This way it looks like it was his decision to leave.
Constant, did you really just criticize Catholic doctrine for not making sense? “Damn that water for being so wet!”
