I have a friend who went to a Catholic seminary for a few months. He said that almost all of the students were homosexual, and that the few heterosexual students were ostracized.
What would her suspension have been had she used FACEBOOK to argue in favor of same sex marriage? Nothing, of course.
Suspended for political beliefs. It’s come to that.
I don't think there was corporate money involved in this case. That leaves me with the hunch it was #2.
The Bishop acted like a partly deflated helium balloon in the wind. When the Big Gay Publicity Machine insisted he fire the teacher, he wobbled off in that direction. When The Lepanto Institute an activist group of faithful Catholics, started running radio ads challenging the Bishop, he wobbled off in the other direction.
I can think of better uses for protoplasm.
Erk
Bad publicity from the LGBT crowd probably scared the bishop into submission. He may have been afraid of losing money from private donations for the school.
I hesitate to speculate on the notion of sexual disorder. In my news media days stories of sexual misconduct involving all denominations and strains of Christianity and Judaism crossed the wire service machines.
To single out one denomination like the RC Church for blame isn’t right when I consider the Good Book I read saying in essence “all are sinners”.
I figure the Book tells all people need to keep their own thinking about sex in order so bad actions won’t follow the thoughts. Don’t get all caught up in other people’s sexual conduct.
Did a little research on Bootkoski. He is part of the gay mafia of the New Jersey Dioceses.
Mentioned in the following lawsuit:

Matthew 7:
15”Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves. 16”You will know them by their fruits. Grapes are not gathered from thorn bushes nor figs from thistles, are they? 17”So every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears bad fruit.…
It appears that there are too many leaders of the church that, for the fleeting favor of men, have convinced themselves that grapes can come from thorn bushes and figs from thistles.
Which team does the bishop play for? (Although he shouldn’t be actively playing for either team). Might have been fun to depose him about his personal life and dig through personnel records.
Nations and societies are similar to people with regard to adulthood and maturity and I'll be happier when our country figures itself out and gets beyond this experimentation phase.
Unfortunately, people can rationalize ANYTHING, good or bad, and frequently have to hit the bottom hard (no double entendre intended) before their attitude is adjusted back to the reality channel and away from their passion/fantasy/addiction/desire/whatever of the moment.
As such, people often rationalize away and ignore all of the negative feedback their actions generate, which then virtually guarantees an escalation in severity of the eventual consequences, as well as the negative feedback on the way there.
To all things a season and I wonder how much time is left on our cosmic clock for US to figure ourselves out before the hammer falls.
