Couldn't decide where this belongs. Since liberals think this is a political issue I will post it in politics.
Gay Catholic School Teacher Fired for Wedding Plans
The man knew the contract he worked under required him to adhere to the Church's teachings publicly.
Most Churches do not abandon gays just for being gay. And the catholic church is similar. BY going public that he was marrying a man that meant he was actively living the gay life style. The Church does oppose that.
Prior to his public acknowledgement that he was a practicing gay the school and the Church had no problem and the contract held. As soon as he went public he was in violation of Church teachings and beliefs.
I do not see how contacting a lawyer will help. Prior to his announcement he was wedding a man the church had no public record that he was a practicing gay. They could in good faith keep him under the terms of the Contract.
Any civil action would be trying to put the Government in church business. And the 1st Amendment says that can not happen.
