San Francisco Catholic High Schools

At Slate, William Saletan writes about a controversy among some Catholics with regard to Catholic High Scool teachers and Archdiocesan requirements.

Saletan writes about the positions of those in contention with their archbishop:

It’s a mess of new-age babble. It starts with denials of morality. The protesters’ Facebook page, Support SF Teachers, declares: “A morality clause has no place in our schools. We want teachers to be able to be themselves.” Christine Haider-Winnett, the coordinator of Equally Blessed, a Catholic pro-LGBT coalition, says lay Catholics will “make our own decisions about what is right and wrong.” A tweet posted as part of the social media campaign against Cordileone advises: “Be who you are and don’t care who says what.”

The dictionary says churches are supposed to teach doctrines.

I would only recall that in Eden, Adam and Eve thought they could decide what was right and wrong.  The consequences of that decision were disastrous for all of mankind.

Yet in the Exultet we sing "O happy fault that earned for us so great, so glorious a Redeemer!"

Thank God for the great mercy bestowed on us poor sinners.  Let us not repeat the sin of Adam, thinking we could decide what is right and wrong.
