Lesbian cries about not being the right kind of Catholic


Lesbian teacher fired from the Catholic school she worked at writes“This weekend I married the love of my life and unfortunately I was terminated from my job as a result,” she wrote. “In their eyes I’m not the right kind of Catholic for my choice in partner.”

The "right kind of Catholic", is one who is actually a practicing Catholic that doesn't reject Catholic teaching. Those Catholics who pick and choose this or that to believe and reject teachings they don't like are called heretics


So she's right, she is NOT the "right kind of Catholic" to teach children in a Catholic private school (or anywhere else). 

Upon being fired for "marrying" another woman, Jocelyn Morffi went on Instagram (using the hashtag #GuiltyOfLove) and the mental midgets came out of the woodwork to bemoan the big mean old Catholic Church for teaching that same sex relations are mortal sin that leads to eternal damnation,while cheering this woman on in her sin. 
harveyxlove_This is heartbreaking 💔 I hope you get everything you want because you deserve it ❤️
This dope thinks the lesbian "deserves" "everything" she wants because she... married another woman? 😕
blue_heffna_6Congratulations on marrying the love of your life.....if one door closes,many more will open.
Yeah genius, the door to Heaven just closed and the door to Hell was thrown wide open. 

I found this comment particularly interesting...
karmaaaalove; I'm 28years of age, I'm married to the love of my life who is a woman, I respect that she doesnt believe in religion or go to church with me but she does believe in God, she respects that I go to church every Sunday to listen to God's word, I don’t take the offering but I respect his word. I was raise a true Catholic since the age of 5years old meaning I did my baptism, confession, communion, and confirmation. I stand a true Catholic in my heart by Obeying Gods word. As I cry every Sunday when i am at church because I can't take the offering of God, I respect that it is not okay to take the offering because i'm married to a woman and in God's eye’s it’s not okay. I feel that you shouldn’t got fired but maybe you shouldn't be working in a Catholic school not because you are not the right kind of Christian but because in God's eyes it is not okay for a woman to marry another woman. And you should walk away with pride in your heart Knowing you will find another school that will love you maybe a public school to teach and embrace this is okay to move foward and love who you love. Catholic is Catholic and we should respect their religion as we should respect all religions. This is just my opinion as I believe that God love us the way we are, and he made us who we are, but respect God's wishes. By the way congratualations from me and my wife to your family. @teachhope70x7 @teachhope70x7
This woman, knows that God says same sex relationships are wrong, she attends Mass and rightly doesn't receive Holy Communion, yet she still "marries" another woman KNOWING it is wrong. And still she declares "I stand a true Catholic in my heart by Obeying Gods word." She thinks she's "obeying God's word"? 🙈

These Catholics are delusional. So are the parents of the children from Sts. Peter and Paul Catholic School in Miami, where this teacher was fired from. They, of course, are in an uproar that a heretical "married" lesbian Catholic teacher was fired from the school. 
Quote: "Parents learned of the firing in a letter they received from the school on Thursday evening, which did not give a reason for the decision. On Friday morning, roughly 20 parents gathered at Sts. Peter and Paul to demand an explanation from the school principal.
We were extremely livid. They treated her like a criminal, they didn’t even let her get her things out of her classroom,” said Cintia Cini, parent of one of the children in Morffi’s class. Cini said that the parents hadn’t known Morffi was gay, but did not care about her sexual orientation. “Our only concern was the way she was with our children, the way she taught our children and this woman by far was one of the best teachers out there,” she said."
Why would any Catholic parent, sending their Catholic child to a Catholic school want a person living in public mortal sin teaching their children? What sort of example does that set for your children that you are supposedly raising Catholic? Boggles the mind! 

Why bother sending them to a Catholic school at all?
Quote: Parents at Sts. Peter and Paul said they will continue to protest the decision.
“We were completely outraged, all of the parents,” said Samantha Mills, whose child was in Morffi’s class last year. “This teacher in particular has made such a contribution to the school. She never imposes her personal beliefs on others. She just does everything in love. She has a way of teaching that is so amazing.”
One parent, Valentina Simon, said she considered withdrawing her child from the school when she heard that Morffi had been fired based on her sexual orientation. “This is really bad,” said Simon. “It can’t be that in 2018 ... they still do this type of thing.”
To be clear, the school did NOT fire the woman "based on her sexual orientation", she was fired because she "married" another woman, not because she was a lesbian. 
Statement from 2015As Florida became the latest state to legalize same-sex marriage this week, Miami Archbishop Thomas Wenski sent a memo to all church employees reiterating that any expressions of support for gay marriage — even if it’s only a tweet or Facebook post — could cost them their jobs.
“Whatever the role in which you serve within the Archdiocese, you publicly represent the Catholic Church and the Archdiocese in everything you do and say,” Wenski wrote in the memo, which was reported by the local NBC station.
Wenski then included an excerpt from the employee handbook stating that all archdiocesan workers “are expected to conduct themselves in a moral and ethical manner consistent with Catholic principles.”
The section went on to state that conduct inconsistent with Catholic teachings could lead to firing, “even if it occurs outside the normal working day and outside the strict confines of work performed by the employee for the Archdiocese.”
“Employees should exercise discretion when posting on social media sites, and note that online activity indicative of prohibitive behaviors may subject an employee to disciplinary action or termination,” it said.

That is perfectly clear. If you don't like the rules, don't work for the Catholic Church. It's really that simple. 

But sadly, the parents either are ignorant of the Church's statement on this issue, or they (like so many heretics in the Church today) wish to protest and attempt to force the Church to change its teachings to suit society's whims. 

These parents aren't concerned with the souls of their innocent children at all. They are only concerned with a heretical lesbian's job. 

How far Catholic parents have fallen.  May God helps us all, especially the innocent children being raised by such lacking Catholic parents. 



In Christ,

This is what a Catholic wedding looks like: 
1 man + 1 woman = marriage in the eyes of God and His Holy Catholic Church.

Why did the Catholic Church flip-flop on weddings?

Over at the National Catholic Register, Patti Armstrong writes an article asking clergy and laity whether or not Catholics should attend a wedding outside the Catholic Church between a baptized Catholic and a non-Catholic. 

The reason behind the debate is because the Code of Canon Law states: “Only those marriages are valid which are contracted before the local [bishop], pastor or a priest or deacon delegated by either of them who assist, and before two witnesses” (1108 §1).Canon law does not prohibit Catholics from attending invalid weddings, Father Pacwa [EWTN] explained, but he said that Catholics must discern carefully. “Every situation will call upon our reserves of prayer, discernment and evaluation,” he said. “And a good confession before making any decision is always a good idea.”According to him, maintaining peace within families is very important, but there is also the question of motive: “Are they trying to put me in an uncomfortable position to prove their point? Or do they simply not see that there is an issue at stake?”
Many opinions are given...but little Catholic documentation. 


I'd like to share the clear teachings the Church once held and taught to Catholics on the subject of 'mixed marriages', weddings outside the Church and Catholics assisting or participating in such marriages. 



I've mentioned many times, that I collect and adore old Catholic books.  These are the sort of books that weigh a ton and were published by the Church for teaching.  One such book is "The Manual of The Holy Catholic Church; Embracing The Beautiful Teachings and The Light From the Altar", published in 1906 by the Catholic Art and Publication Office of Chicago, Ill. published with the approbation of The Most Rev. James Edward Quigley, D.D. Archbishop of Chicago in 1906.  It is this book I am quoting from today (highlights are mine).


"It is frequently asked if it is allowable for Catholics to act as bridesmaids or groomsmen at any marriage, whether in a church or in a private house at which the ceremony is conducted by a Protestant minister, or at a purely civil marriage?    'As to the question, viz., whether Catholics may lawfully act as bridesmaids or grooms at Protestant or civil marriages, we should answer; A Catholic is at liberty to act as official witness to a lawful marriage contract, if the assistance does not imply assent to conditions otherwise forbidden in conscience.  Hence if two persons, who are not baptized, choose to marry before a magistrate, exercising their natural right, which a Catholic reasonably respects, he is at liberty to attest such a marriage by his presence as an official witness, just as he might attest to any other lawful and solemn contract.  Here there is no denial of faith.   No Catholic is, however, at liberty to act as official witness to a marriage unlawful before God, such as the marriage ceremony of a divorced party already rightly married according to Christian or the natural law; or a party that is Catholic and publicly denies his or her faith by neglecting the sacramental rite in favor of a purely civil ceremony before the magistrate, unless there be no priest to perform the rites of the Church; or a party that is leading a scandalous life which would justify the prospect of shame, divorce, or neglect; for though such person may not pretend to any religious convictions, and protest their mere intention to make a natural mutual contract, yet prudence and respect for the moral order should forbid a Catholic to assist at such marriage contracts.   A third principle, already explained in the answer to the question whether a double religious ceremonial is permissible, forbids Catholics to take part in any marriage ceremony which bears the character of religious worship other than that of the Catholic Church.  Hence a Catholic may not lawfully assist at a marriage in a Protestant church which is intended to have a religious aspect." 

I'd like to point out that one type of "unlawful marriage" is (according to another passage in this book there are several different types of "unlawful" marriages) a marriage between a Catholic and a non-Catholic outside the Church without proper permission.

The part that says "No Catholic, is however, at liberty to act as official witness to a marriage unlawful before God..." begs to be answered (at least in my mind) how could a once considered "unlawful marriage" suddenly become lawful when nothing has changed but the opinion of the Church?  

If God thought these marriages were "unlawful" for centuries and the Church forbid Catholics from participating in them what changed?  Did God change His opinion on what an unlawful marriage is or did the Church change it's opinion thus changing its teaching?  What basis was used to change this point of view?

I guess the question then would be 'what constitutes a witness'?  

Guests at a wedding are witnesses to the ceremony, are they not?

What was once forbidden is now celebrated.  

To see the complete turn around on this Catholic teaching to what is now allowed visit: http://catholicdoors.com/misc/marriage/canonlaw.htm

Reading all of this brings several questions to my mind...

First, are we better off now having completely turned around the Church's position on mixed marriages and ceremonies than we were decades ago?

How many Catholics attend the weddings of people who are 'remarrying' after a divorce without an annulment? Do they discuss this in Confession with their priest?  If they did...what would he tell them?

And finally, is it any wonder at all, that progressives wrongly believe and hope that one day the Church will change its teachings on gay 'marriage'? 





In Christ,

Julie @ Connecticut Catholic Corner

Just because I love it...

I confess, I am a big fan of the music group "One Direction" and when I saw this trending now video of a groom, his nephew and their backup crew sing and dance to "You don't know you're beautiful" (my favorite song by them) to the new bride... well, I just thought it was great.



Love the groom and nephew duo!
