Do you remember the story of the 5th grade teacher in Minnesota who was asked to resign from her position in a Catholic school because of her private views on marriage ?
Well, there is more to the story.
The bishop there actually went to her 5th grade class to talk about how bad marriage truly is:
Cameron said her decision to speak out goes back to a day last fall, when Bishop Michael Hoeppner of the Diocese of Crookston made his annual visit to her class.
"When he came to talk to my fifth graders this year this was the topic, gay marriage and the Minnesota Marriage Amendment," she recalled. "And it ended with a direct call to 'talk to your parents,' kind of 'tell them how to vote and make sure — this is important for the church.' And I was really troubled by that, I was very uncomfortable with that."
Cameron said she felt a fifth grade classroom was not the appropriate place for a political discussion of the marriage amendment, which would change Minnesota's Constitution to allow marriage only between a man and a woman. Cameron said she can't remember another instance in 11 years where a bishop expressed political views in the classroom.
This bishop shows his lack of common sense and decency. I mean, giving a political speech to 5th graders ?
The priest in charge shows his arrogance by responding to a reporter's question about this issue by saying:
St. Joseph's School Superintendent Monsignor Mike Foltz declined an interview request. In an email, he wrote, "It is of divine revelation and what more can I say?
These people are simply morally bankrupt. They are unworthy of any respect whatsoever.
