Chestnut Hill College, a Roman Catholic institution in Philadelphia, last week told a gay priest who had been a popular adjunct there for several semesters that he was no longer welcome to teach the two religion courses he had been offered for the term starting this week. The college acted shortly after a Philadelphia man sent a letter to the archdiocese complaining that Chestnut Hill was employing Rev. James St. George, the gay priest. Rev. James had no problem confirming that he was gay and his life long partner was his faith. Sadly Rev. James was fired.
This effects me because I hate homophobes. They don't have any right to butt into someone's personal life, unless they were previously involved. I support gay marriage fully and never questioned it. I understand that people reading this might think differently and have different opinions on this topic. The world is can be a little over reactive when it comes to this stuff. The priest was committed to being a priest, he was not even involved with someone has it said above. There is just a lot of messed up people.
We are learning about different kinds of religion in World History right now and this just shows that there are many different religions and they are all different.
I changed my background to show that i support this Priest.
