Indianapolis\u2019 Cathedral High School Fires Gay Teacher to Save Itself from Being Axed by Catholic Church<\/b><\/p>\n

Indianapolis Archbishop Charles Thompson<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Indianapolis\u2019 Cathedral High School fired a gay<\/a> teacher this week in order to protect its Catholic identity just days after the Indianapolis Archdiocese cut ties with another school, Brebeuf Jesuit Preparatory School<\/a>, which refused to fire a gay<\/a> teacher.<\/p>\n

The school wrote about its decision in an open letter from <\/a>Cathedral\u2019s board Chairman Matt Cohoat and President Rob Bridges, which read, in part<\/a>: \u201cIt is Archbishop Thompson\u2019s responsibility to oversee faith and morals as related to Catholic identity within the Archdiocese of Indianapolis. Archbishop Thompson made it clear that Cathedral\u2019s continued employment of a teacher in a public, same-sex<\/a> marriage would result in our forfeiting our Catholic identity due to our employment of an individual living in contradiction to Catholic teaching on marriage. If this were to happen, Cathedral would lose the ability to celebrate the Sacraments as we have in the past 100 years with our students and community. Additionally, we would lose the privilege of reserving the Blessed Sacrament in our chapel\u2019s tabernacle, we could no longer refer to Cathedral as a Catholic school, our diocesan priests would no longer be permitted to serve on our Board of Directors, and we would lose our affiliation with The Brothers of Holy Cross. Furthermore, Cathedral would lose its 501(c)(3) status thus rendering Cathedral unable to operate as a nonprofit school.\u201d<\/p>\n
