Students In San Francisco Are Protesting Archbishop’s Anti-Gay Rules
The protests were sparked when Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone announced heightened so-called morality standards for teachers and called homosexuality “gravely evil.”
Olivia Hohe
Catholic high school students in San Francisco are sticking up for their teachers and challenging their archbishop, Salvatore Cordileone, after he announced new morality standards last week for high school faculty. Cordileone, who oversees all Catholic schools in the city, said he will add a new document to the faculty handbook that focuses particularly on LGBT teachers.
Cordileone’s document calls homosexuality “gravely evil,” going on to condemn “homosexual relations” and “the grave evil of artificial reproductive technology,” which is sometimes used by lesbian couples who want to have a baby. The directive says teachers must also conform their “private behavior” to the teachings of the Catholic Church, he wrote, and “refrain from participation in organizations that call themselves ‘Catholic’ but support or advocate issues or causes contrary to the teachings of the Church.”
The students immediately organized, helping gather thousands signatures for a petition that asks Cordileone to “cease his efforts to institute outdated and discriminatory ‘morality clauses,’” and they protested last week outside Saint Mary’s Cathedral to defend their teachers.
Olivia Hohe
“This was a student-led vigil that we organized,” Olivia Hohe, a student at Sacred Heart Cathedral Preparatory, told BuzzFeed News. “All participants dressed in all black clothes and came with supportive signs for our teachers. While the teachers were in the cathedral, we led a prayer service outside in the middle of a storm!”
“Then we formed a single line from the steps of the cathedral, connecting to Sacred Heart, which is on the next block,” Hohe said. “Faculty, staff, representatives, nuns, Brothers, and Sisters left the Cathedral and walked down our silent, student-led streets. Many teachers were crying and thanking us for our support.”
Like other Catholic bishops, Archbishop Cordileone oversees all the churches and schools in his diocese. His decree would apply to nearly 500 employees at four high schools. In a letter to teachers, he wrote, “I wish to state clearly and emphatically that the intention underlying this document is not to target for dismissal from our schools any teachers.”
Despite San Francisco’s reputation as an LGBT-friendly city, Cordileone has become a prominent figure there fighting LGBT rights, helping draft an initiative to ban same-sex marriage, and donating money to the campaign. Cordileone also opposed a federal bill that would have banned discrimination against LGBT employees.
Around the country, Catholic bishops have been cracking down on LGBT teachers, especially those who get married to same-sex partners. In January, a Catholic diocese in North Carolina fired a 68-year-old English instructor who announced plans to marry his partner.
Olivia Hohe
In recent years, a Catholic school in New York City fired a teacher who came out as transgender, and a diocese in Michigan fired a female teacher — who is married to a woman — on moral grounds after she received in vitro fertilization. A Catholic school near Seattle fired a vice principal after learning he married his boyfriend, which prompted students there to protest en masse to stand up for their teacher.
In San Francisco, the students are also resisting — and Hohe says many people are on their side.
“People driving past showed support by giving thumbs up or honking like crazy!” she said. “We were hoping to show our support primarily, but also hope to spread the word about the cause and gain more supporters!”
A petition to Archbishop Cordileone has already gathered more than 5,000 signatures. “The proposed changes directly contradict the Pope’s teachings, the Catholic values of inclusion and diversity, and the free and open exchange of ideas, which is the hallmark of a good education,” the petition says. “They create a culture of fear that denies staff the right to follow their own individual consciences and harms students.”

Santorum challenges Romney to one-on-one debate
Ahead of Wisconsin Primary, Santorum Challenges Romney to One-On-One Debate http://t.co/0WnFGYAs
— NewsTalk Fm 98.9 (@NewsTalkFm989) March 25, 2012
Rick Santorum reiterated his challenge to debate Mitt Romney to talk about issues in key primary states Saturday afternoon, pointing to the debates held between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton during 2008 when they were the final contenders for the Democratic nomination.
“I’ve actually asked for debates with Governor Romney, one-on-one debates. This race has clearly gotten down to two candidates that can win the nomination and four years ago, when that happened with Barack Obama and Hilary Clinton, there was a series of one-on-one debates. I’d love to have a one-on-one debate,” Santorum told reporters in a media availability following a speech at the Defending the American Dream Summit.
Santorum first said he would like to have a one-on-one debate earlier this month in an interview with Jonathan Karl on This Week.
“I’d love to be able to get one-on-one with Governor Romney and expose the record that would be the weakest record we could possibly put up against Barack Obama,” said Santorum. “We can’t nominate such a weak candidate.”
Campaigning in the state ahead of the April 3rd primary here, Santorum called Wisconsin a “little hybrid of” Michigan, Ohio and Illinois, but wouldn’t acknowledge whether Wisconsin is a “must-win” state for him, instead directing attention to Romney’s win-loss record as he bears the marker of “inevitability.”
“You know what I keep hearing about these must win states for me. How about must win states for Romney,” Santorum said.
We don’t like to say it, but it recalls for us this passage in Antony & Cleopatra, where, defeated by sea, Antony challenges Octavius Caesar to single combat:
Antony. Is that his answer?
Euphronius. Ay, my lord. 2260
Antony. The queen shall then have courtesy, so she
Will yield us up.
Euphronius. He says so.
Antony. Let her know’t.
To the boy Caesar send this grizzled head, 2265
And he will fill thy wishes to the brim
With principalities.
Cleopatra. That head, my lord?
Antony. To him again: tell him he wears the rose
Of youth upon him; from which the world should note 2270
Something particular: his coin, ships, legions,
May be a coward’s; whose ministers would prevail
Under the service of a child as soon
As i’ the command of Caesar: I dare him therefore
To lay his gay comparisons apart, 2275
And answer me declined, sword against sword,
Ourselves alone. I’ll write it: follow me.
[Exeunt MARK ANTONY and EUPHRONIUS]
Domitius Enobarus. [Aside] Yes, like enough, high-battled Caesar will
Unstate his happiness, and be staged to the show, 2280
Against a sworder! I see men’s judgments are
A parcel of their fortunes; and things outward
Do draw the inward quality after them,
To suffer all alike. That he should dream,
Knowing all measures, the full Caesar will 2285
Answer his emptiness! Caesar, thou hast subdued
His judgment too.
[Enter an Attendant]
Attendant. A messenger from CAESAR.
Cleopatra. What, no more ceremony? See, my women! 2290
Against the blown rose may they stop their nose
That kneel’d unto the buds. Admit him, sir.
[Exit Attendant]
Domitius Enobarus. [Aside] Mine honesty and I begin to square.
The loyalty well held to fools does make 2295
Our faith mere folly: yet he that can endure
To follow with allegiance a fall’n lord
Does conquer him that did his master conquer
And earns a place i’ the story.
Antony & Cleopatra, Act III, sc. xiii

Trig truther Andrew Sullivan: it’s ‘perverse’ to question Hillary’s condition
Wait. @SullyDish (Andrew Sullivan) is actually saying that doubting Hillary's concussion (pre-blood clot news) is perverse? ANDREW SULLIVAN?
— RBe (@RBPundit) December 31, 2012
With news emerging that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has been hospitalized to treat a blood clot in her head, media lapdogs were anxious to shame those who questioned the concussion that prevented her from testifying in December on the deadly Sept. 11 terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya. Among those who suddenly found themselves outraged that someone would question the integrity of a Clinton was the Daily Beast’s Andrew Sullivan, who called it “perverse” to have doubted that Clinton had suffered a concussion.

Here you go!
https://twitter.com/sullydish/status/285807872087044096
What did people expect? A doctor’s note excusing Clinton from testifying?
Plenty were happy to remind medical expert Sullivan of his 2008 election-year quest for proof that Sarah Palin’s son Trig was actually hers. “We need documentation to verify the last pregnancy: the amniocentesis results with Sarah Palin’s name on them, for example,” wrote Sullivan in 2008. That’s right: Hillary Clinton’s word is good, but Sarah Palin needs to provide amniocentesis results. No bias there.
