Here’s some good old fashioned Catholic love for you:
When Carla Hale, 57, received her termination letter from Bishop Watterson Principal Marian Hutson, Hale said she was in, “total shock. Like your legs had just been cut out from under you.”
The letter was from the Columbus Diocese and signed by Hutson.
“I turned to the principal and I said, ‘Are we talking like immediately? Am I supposed to leave the building?’ And she just, she said, ‘Yes.’”
That was March 28, and Hale hasn’t been back since.
Hale is gay. And she said that is the reason the Columbus Diocese fired her, for what it said was a violation of moral law.
An anonymous letter, along with Hale’s mother’s obituary, was sent to the Diocese in February. Hale’s same-sex partner was listed in the obit.
Wow. How cowardly, both on the part of the letter writer and on the part of the diocese. She had been teaching there for nineteen years.
There are currently about 14,000 signatures on a petition demanding that she be given her job back. Go sign it.
