Controversy is brewing in Miami after a Catholic school fired one of its instructors for engaging in a same-sex marriage ceremony with her partner. The first-grade teacher had been working at the school for seven years but was dismissed after the school learned of the ceremony. There is no word yet whether she is taking any legal action, though Politico’s Marc Caputo says the decision was “probably legal.”
The teacher in question, Jocelyn Morffi, took to social media shortly thereafter and accused the school of treating her like she was “not the right kind of Catholic” due to her decision to marry another woman. She proclaimed herself “#guiltyoflove,” which is a clever slogan but is ultimately a fundamental misunderstanding of what love is, at least as defined by the Catholic Church.
