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.
Is divorce included as one of the 'modern errors'?
When MA ordered kids to affirm transgendered by using the same bathrooms (showers?), not that many freaked out.
What a crazy world
Wonderful. THis Bishop is doing his job, not an easy thing to do in this environment.
Catholic school teachers, when they stray from Church teachings, are many times more harmful than any horrible public school teacher or program.
They stray children during their formative years away from the Church in THE NAME of the Church.
The school we are affiliated with ahs a yearly ceremony where the teachers and staff stand before the congregation (the students - families welcome- at Mass and pledgeadherence to the Holy See.
When and if (it happens) they veer from that they are replaced immediately.
It’s very very important.
**The Santa Rosa Catholic Diocese is requiring its 200 schoolteachers to sign an agreement affirming that “modern errors” such as contraception, abortion, homosexual marriage and euthanasia are “matters that gravely offend human dignity.”**
May God bless Bishop Vasa! Yes, he has a spine. There are a many other teachers out there who would like to quit the public schools and teach in a Catholic School, yes, even for a cut in pay.
A friend, here in my town, did just this, and she is so happy although it has been a learning year for her as well since she was teaching a different grade that she did in the public schools!
A glimmer of light in a very dark USA.
Rubber meeting the road time. Our conservative priest last fall said that “we” are going to start pushing back (at the liberal government) to much applause. That was the last I heard about it. Come on Church, your flock is waiting for some leadership. Maybe the next Pope.
