I found this interesting. This seems to go against the popes recent stance of more tolerance and acceptance.

    If it goes against the school’s moral teachings, then the sxhool must be free to fire him so the students don’t learn that behaviour is ok, as per the sxhool’s teachings.

      This is why I posted it. Legally they have the right to remove teachers who conflict with religious teachings. Yet this seems to go against th popes stance and he is the authority of the church.

        The Pope is not as authoritative as every one thinks. Bishops have significant leeway in how they run their diocese and how priests run their churches.

        It’s an issue between the individual school and the legal system. Whatever the Pope or the Vatican wants to do, there is wholly outside of the matter of the school and the teacher.

        If the Vatican takes action against the school, that has no bearing on the sxhool’s right to fire the teacher.

              Oh weird. I thought they did it consistently but it turns out they just did it once more in their previous comment too.

          The school is managed by the local church and owned by the diocese. In a lawsuit it’s the diocese that would be sued.
