The teacher said he objects to the "whole idea that they want me to live their morals when it's my personal life what I do outside of work."
Not only does this teacher lack a properly formed conscience, this teacher is not intelligent enough to teach at the high school level.
This is an individual who could not reason his way out of a wet paper bag.
I guess I would have had a retreat this summer and during the retreat re-taught the Catechism. I’ve done several weeks now of RCIA as a team member. I probably would have had issues with signing off on some of this stuff at the beginning of the series but now I would crawl over broken glass to sign it.

THE CHILDREN!!! Oh, Dear Lord, Please save the children!
I am sick to death of this self congratulatory streak in teachers and nurses. Dedicated, hardworking, devoted, blah, blah, blah. Newsflash, it's a job. You're not doing it because you love it. Or at least that's not the only reason you're doing it. You're doing it for a paycheck.
Here's another newsflash. You may be a good teacher. But there's one lined up right behind you for your job. You may even be a great teacher who really truly is irreplaceable. We'll be sorry to lose you. However, if you quit your job, the world will keep spinning. Kids will still learn, and life will go on.
ZC,
This is the same bishop who wrote the intro to this book: http://www.amazon.com/Doctrines-Genesis-1-11-Compendium-Traditional/dp/0595452434
Whoa! Just came across this by accident: http://books.google.com/books?id=-JNaLoaCagwC&printsec=frontcover#v=onepage&q&f=false
Well all of these teachers should have been asked this when they were hired.
If they teach at a Catholic school it should be no problem for them to adhere to catholic principles. If it is they need to look elsewhere.
When we lost the nuns to Vatican II or whatever it was that drove them from the habits and to feminism it was the kiss of death for Catholic schools. Some still survive, but they arent the same.
If you really want to hear some squealing add that to the employment contracts at Notre Dame and Georgetown.
Whenever I falter with the Church, it’s for just the opposite reason.
I get fed up with the irreverence at Mass.
I despise the bishop’s and priest’s ignoring abortion advocating politicians.
Half of those sitting in the pews don’t believe in the faith and only want the social justice aspects of the Church....and worse vote for abortion loving Dems.
Then a Cardinal Dolan, right before the Conclave, comes out and supports Obama’s gun control plan. (sickeningly political)
It wears you down at times. I have to remind myself that the American Bishops are not the entire Catholic Church. I do not want an American to be Pope, unless it’s Chaput.

Are you Catholic? Which parish do you attend?
Is divorce included as one of the 'modern errors'?
It is the thinking of a teenager.
When MA ordered kids to affirm transgendered by using the same bathrooms (showers?), not that many freaked out.
What a crazy world
Profoundly moving statement. You have come to recognize how truth is liberating. God bless you!
Yes. I’m Catholic.
I’m in Western Maryland...Our Lady of the Mountain Parish.
We have Capuchins here. They are excellent.
My complaints are with the broader Church. When I said, “a Cardinal Dolan”, I meant his specific action and other Bishops, as well.
Amen to that.
Amen.
...Chaput defended his decision in support of Sacred Heart by asserting that Catholic schools were obliged to provide an environment where the faith is “fully taught and practiced.” He said concerns about offending students or engendering alienation between parents and children at home would hobble those efforts.
