“Holy Father, please provide us with a leader true to our values and your namesake,” begins the text of a full page ad in today’s edition of the Chronicle imploring Pope Francis to “Please replace Archbishop Cordileone.”
Signed by 100 local catholic leaders including alumni of San Francisco Catholic schools, church volunteers, and former board members of Catholic Charities, the open letter is the latest indictment of the gay-hating, drunk driving Archbishop and his move to include “morality clauses” in the contracts of teachers and staff at Catholic high schools.
To recap, Cordileone has instructed the almost 500 employees of archdiocese high schools to “affirm and believe” that actions like “homosexual relations,” birth control, and masturbation are “gravely… intrinsically” evil. In other words, it’s a ban on teachers engaging in any of the “behaviors” themselves or expressing — let’s call them “more nuanced” views in their classrooms.
