Viva Cristo Rey!
Great job!
I should think they'd want to sign it. It is, after all, a Catholic school.
Isn't that racist/homophobic?
Nothing wrong with that, the media makes it sound weird or something
The Catholic Church seems to be accepting that the battle to save marriage in the courts has been lost. The Church is digging in to save its religious liberty to conduct its institutions according to its faith.
The fight over teacher morality contracts, HHS birth control mandates is just the beginning. I wouldn’t be surprised if the IRS starts to grant Tax Exempt Status based on how much diversity the church promotes.
If they keep this up I may go back to church.
Ohs, noes! How bigoted of them to require that church standards be upheld by employees of a church school! Next thing, they’ll expect priests to adhere to Vatican teachings!
We see how well upholding secular standards (i.e. no standards) works in secular schools.
Good.

Damn, wish my law license was still active! This one’ll end up in court for sure! The perfect train wreck.
This is totally acceptable. Until recently, no one would have expected churches to employ those who lived in open sin. The government has no say in whom the church can employ.
Works for me.
I don’t understand the problem with this. You want to work for a Catholic school, you agree to Catholic norms. What else is there to say? And if you won’t agree to them, but still want to work there, then your only reason for doing so is to challenge the status quo.
I’m not a Catholic, in fact, I oppose most Catholic teaching, but kudos to them for standing for principle here!
I don’t imagine many will be able to comply with the behavioral restrictions; but that is not the point. What this does is make sure that private behavior remains private. There have been Catholics engaging in same-sex sodomy throughout history, but since it is forbidden by the Church, they don’t tell anyone about it.
Lawrence v Texas was the case that destroyed the secular means for keeping private sexual behavior private. In that case, SCOTUS did not understand that when one legalizes so-called private behavior, it has made it public. Sodomy needs to be made illegal again: it won’t stop anyone from participating in it, but it will sure stop people from talking about it and promoting it.
