Catholic Teacher Fired From Job at "Catholic" School Reinstated


Edit: apparently everyone wins, including the anti-Catholic school administration that objected to the appearance of Catholic schools in the first place.

Even Susan Sarrandon's evil presence in the controversy couldn't keep the woman from regaining her job, but one wonders if the administration expects her to be silent on this from now on.

Indeed, it's the school administration that should resign.

Metuchen, NJ, Apr 14, 2015 / 02:41 am (CNA/EWTN News).- A New Jersey Catholic school has reinstated a teacher who was the focus of media controversy over her social media posts critical of LGBT advocacy. The school stressed the need for a positive presentation of the Catholic faith while also lamenting “hurtful” media coverage about the teacher.

Immaculata High School in Somerville, N.J., said that all issues related to theology teacher Patricia Jannuzzi’s employment are “resolved.”

Monsignor Seamus Brennan, the school’s director, said he and principal Jean Kline had decided to reinstate Jannuzzi. He said the school’s position is that a Catholic school teacher “must always communicate the faith in a way that is positive and never hurtful.”

    This does not seem like justice. There has been no apology from the school and diocese for their anti-Faith, anti-Natural Law statements regarding the evil of sodomy and Mrs Januzzi's recognition of same.

      Come on Lynda! Wake up! This troupe of liberal modernists could never admit they were wrong. It is the same with the wholesale destruction of The Church since 1965 - they can't see how awful their failed enterprise has been.

      See Father Sommerville formerly of ICEL.

      I read this:

      http://www.thefreelibrary.com/Father+Stephen+Somerville+suspended.-a0122989858

      It looks like a reliable account. If there is more to know, please tell me where to look it up.

      I have great sympathy for Fr. Somerville, whose heart is obviously in the right place, and who seems to be a great priest. But he did disobey the Church. Some of his justifications, according to this article at least, especially the emotional ones, were used by the Protestant Heresiarchs.

      His story just reinforces that Latin is the proper language of the Mass. Shouldn't the response, to show a quotidian example, really be translated "And with thy Spirit?" Someone who doesn't go to Catholic school should spend 30 minutes a day reading up on the various things like catechism, history, basic theology, apologetics, and basic Church law that are necessary to understanding the Faith, but the bishops don't seem to encourage such a program.

      Thought I read somewhere else that Mrs. Jannuzzi and the school arrived at an agreement that included non-disclosure on the part of both parties. Guessing that she gets to keep her pension at the cost of being muzzled when it comes to stating the truths of the Faith, and wondering if a nearby Cardinal, pal of the Afflicted, with larger legal resources counseled the local Ordinary on how to proceed. Looks just like Voris said: "The Church of Nice ain't so nice."

    Powerful stuff these petitions - public pressure in the right place. It makes one wonder what the Conciliar crowd would have done if we had stood firm against the liberal modernist coup d'etat. At bottom, they are just a feckless bunch of moral cowards.

    "Hurtful"

    Telling her students the truth of god's laws to save their souls can never be hurtful. This in fact is the true mercy ,( spiritual works of mercy : admonish the sinner, educate the ignorant)

    Not the trendy new false mercy of francis and friends which may be summarized thus: we won't stop you from  going to hell .

    The fires of hell - ouch,  that's hurtful.

    Now is the time for the petition to get RID OF the the antichrists who called for her firing. ESPECIALLY the ones wearing the collar. Anything less is fighting half a fight.

    The priest, Mgr Brennan, has caught the Francis lunacy: you can proclaim the Gospel - but only if no-one will be hurt, ie offended, by it.

    Now if only medical practitioners did the same, and didn't mention smoking, obesity etc if it would upset the patients.
