which would seem to me that the Catholic Church might fund incompatable with their beliefs. No, Christine Judd was fired because she got married.
The Springfield, Mass. Catholic Diocese could accept this woman as a lesbian working in the church school system, but when she got married it was all over.
I suggest that since gay marriage is legal in the state that maybe the Church ought to move out since they can't handle it. Hypocracy rules, and here I was trying to keep my mouth shut on religious issues. This woman has just lost a 12 year career for doing what is legal for her fellow citizens.

... that the aggressively self-righteous branches of Christianity had their version of Don't Ask, Don't Tell long before the concept reached the US military. She went public, so out she goes.
Obviously I think it's wrong, but unhappily it's apparently legal and will remain so as long as Churches are allowed to put themselves above the secular law of the land.
For a' that an' a' that,
It's comin' yet for a' that,
That man tae man, the worrld o'er
Shall brithers be, for a' that.
