It’s good to see Catholics standing up for their group interest and staying true to their Church teachings instead of compromising in the name of multiculturalism and civility.
SAN FRANCISCO — It is the issue that is stirring San Francisco: The archbishop has specified that teachers at four Bay Area Catholic high schools cannot publicly challenge the church’s teachings that homosexual acts are “contrary to natural law,” that contraception is “intrinsically evil” and that embryonic stem cell research is “a crime.” He also wants to designate teachers as part of the “ministry,” which could, under a 2012 Supreme Court ruling, strip them of protection under federal anti-discrimination laws.
In this city that helped give birth to the gay rights movement, the backlash has been fierce. A top concern is that gay teachers could be fired.
