"If Judd did not agree with Church teaching, she should have applied for a job at a public school. But she did not."
Exactly. One must wonder why she even took the job at a Catholic school.
I have considered the possibility that she may have had an agenda besides merely wanting to "marry" her partner and quietly walk off into the sunset, etc.
This morning on the local television news station (WWLP 22) the diocesan spokesman Mark Dupont said that Ms. Judd had indeed signed a paper stating Church policy that Cathedral High School employees be required to order their public lives in such a way as to not go contrary to Church teachings as a condition of employment.
Of course, I don't doubt that Ms. Judd was emboldened to put the diocese to the test by the 2004 imposition of same sex marriage on the state of Massachusetts by a radical liberal unelected clique of black-robed party hacks pretending to be "judges" while legislating from the bench.
But apparently, Ms. Judd wasn't paying attention about four years ago when the Church here in Massachusetts shut down its adoption facilities/orphanages rather than become a party to "gay adoptions."

Again, Diocesan spokesman Mark Dupont emphasized repeatedly on the WWLP 22 News report that Ms. Judd had signed a document spelling out Church policy.
The same report stated that some of the students from Cathedral High School were protesting Ms. Judd's resignation in front of St. Michael's Cathedral. In fact the protest was in progress while Mark Dupont was speaking.
Here is a link to that television news story.

At the end of the day, the very fact of this protest speaks volumes in terms of the existence of an actual situation in which young impressionable Catholic school girls attending a Catholic school have somehow been manipulated into thinking that same sex marriage is perfectly OK in spite of the fact that the Catholic church forbids all homosexual activity.....or any other sexual activity outside of marriage.
If I were a parent paying the tuition for my child to attend Cathedral High School right now, you can bet your boots I would be hollering.
In any case, Bishop McDonnell is to be commended for standing firm in defense of church teachings!
I, for one, support him 100%, and keep him in my prayers.
