Catholic entities, especially Catholic schools, should stop firing gays and gay-rights supporters. After all, the immediate context of Pope Francis' [recent] "who am I to judge?" [comment] came amidst calls to fire Monsignor Battista Ricca from his position at the Vatican Bank after he was revealed to be gay.
Such a resolution, furthermore, would fit our back-to-school season. Just like New Year's celebrations, the back-to-school season is the start of a new academic year and the right time for fresh beginnings and new directions.
