Ah, America, the Land of Free Speech, unless…..
Mike Moroski, assistant principal at Purcell Marian High School, a Catholic school, was fired because he wrote a post on his blog in support of marriage equality.
The Archdiocese of Cincinnati fired Moroski because, as they stated in his termination letter, he showed “poor judgment” and violated the teachings of the Catholic Church.
For something he wrote—which is his right, and his write—on his own time in his own space.
Moroski says he knew the firing was coming after he was asked to take down the post and refused to do so, but he also says he was following his conscience when he wrote about his support of same-sex marriage.
“I put it up there because I really truly honestly believe it. I’m absolutely willing to lose my job over this. The only difficult thing for me now is the students.”
This isn’t the first time the archdiocese has fired people for voicing their opinions. In 2009, it Sister Louise Akers was suspended from teaching for publicly supporting the ordination of female priests, and in 2010, Christa Dias was fired from Holy Family and St. Lawrence Schools after she became pregnant.
So, they fire anyone who speaks their minds, who have an opinion, but the ones who rape children get a pass?
Your Catholic Church at work.
