Who’s paying Sam Singer?

Well there must be enough out of worker teachers willing to obey the Bishop, I’d begin opening positions for them to fill.

Jesus doesn’t doesn’t care about popularity but faithfulness.
Not even his critics at the school have even mentioned that. Why are you? Do you think what he is doing is good?

Yes,a real cheap shot!
It continues to baffle me,that there are some who post on this forum,stating they are Catholic,yet continue to take umbrage with anyone else who as Catholics actually try to adhere to the tenants of our Catholic faith.

Give me a break.
He was driving his mother and another Priest home, was polite with police and completely in control of his faculties. He wouldn’t have even been pulled over if it wasn’t for the draconian sobriety checkpoint.
Some people act like having a half a glass of wine over an arbitrary limit is worth shunning somsone over.

This is going to be a nasty fight, given that “tolerance” has become the all purpose bludgeon with which the sexual revolution, in all its manifestations, beats its adversaries into suibmission… All the more reason, then to be grateful for the courageous leadership shown by Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone

San Francisco Parents Shocked to Learn that Catholic Schools Are Catholic
< San Francisco parents of children enrolled at local Catholic schools were recently shocked to discover that their children are attending schools run by Catholics.
The discovery was made after the local Archbishop, an official of the Catholic Church, sent letters to local teachers employed by the Catholic Church, reminding them of some of the things that the Catholic Church believes in. Those things offended many San Francisco parents, who say they were horrified to discover that the church which they have asked to educate their children might be influencing the way their kids think.
“I had no idea this was really a Catholic school,” said San Francisco mother of two Benita Bentley. “I thought it was just an extremely ironic public school. You know: ‘look at us, we’re so Catholic.’ Like the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence.”
Local father Greg T., who self-identifies as gayer than you, said that he finds the idea that the Catholic schools are Catholic to be offensive.
“I strongly object to the hateful, oppressive, messages the Catholic church has been constantly sending out for the last 2,000 years,” he said. “So when I entrusted my children to them, I expected better. To find out that the Church which has never accepted me doesn’t accept me … well, obviously I’m going to sign a petition.”
Parents say that the letter sent by the Archbishop, which reiterated that the Catholic church objects to abortion and sex of any kind outside of marriage, among many other things, was “judgy” and “might make people protesting the Catholic church feel that it is not welcoming.” They have signed a petition asking the Archdiocese to change its positions, or at least never mention them where other people could hear about it. >

Excellent link, thank you:thumbsup:
God Bless & protect Archbishop Salvatore Joseph Cordileone!
Please join me in prayer (prayer thread/section) for this faithful servant of God!
We can help this wonderful Archbishop, by writing letters of support to him, to the Papal Nuncio in Washington D.C. and of course with lots of prayers
"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil,
who change darkness into light, and light into
darkness, who change bitter into sweet, and sweet into bitter!
Woe to those who are wise in their own sight, and prudent in their own esteem."
Isaiah 5; 20-21…

Oh look, a faithful Catholic using an unrelated, confessed sin/failing of an Archbishop to try to smear him and weaken his efforts to promote the Christian faith.
You owe the Archbishop an apology and you should consider going to Confession.

Thank you, Jim. God bless you. This link is an excellent read. Here is a bit from the link you posted:
Code:
"Singer has launched a media blitz to defeat the archbishop’s policy, claiming to havein the diocesan schools should teach in communion with the Church. On Ash Wednesday,
LGBT protesters, dressed in black, held a vigil that the San Francisco Weekly described
as bearing “the signature slickness of a Singer campaign, drawing news coverage across
San Francisco, and all the way down to Santa Cruz.” Such a campaign is expensive.
And Singer is no ideologue. His work history shows him to be a hired gun, willing to work
for the highest bidder."
"When a tiger killed a teenager and mauled several visitors at the San Francisco Zoo,
Singer helped garner sympathy for the tiger:"
"In his war against the Church in San Francisco, Singer is using the media in the same
way, feeding them stories of “concerned Catholic parents” and oppressive clergy. The
stories seem to have had an impact.”
"As expected, the first casualty of this war is the truth. Singer has said that himself,
suggesting that his mission is to “push the facts as our clients see them.” Noting that
Singer “has a complex relationship with the truth,” reporter Joe Eskenazi wrote in the
Weekly that “the truth, after all, isn’t exactly Singer’s milieu.” That is, “Singer is playing by
a different set of rules” and “traffics not so much in truth but the perception of truth.”
"This is what makes the battle with Singer so hard to fight: His side gets to play by a
different set of rules. Archbishop Cordileone does not have the luxury of the multiplicity of
truths that Singer can deploy. Singer’s arsenal includes a Twitter feed filled with
statements proven to be false — for example, this from February 25: “San Francisco
Archbishop Will Purge Gay, Lesbian and Pro-Choice Teachers.”
"Singer must know that is false, because Cordileone has stated several times that he
has no intention of firing teachers simply because of their sexual orientation or beliefs.
Rather, the archbishop is concerned that the teachers in Catholic schools simply teach
the truth of the Catholic Church — through their actions and their words."
"The war against the archdiocese is being funded by sources with much more to gain
than a clause in a faculty policy manual."
