J.F.C.

Teachers have until April 15 to sign the addendum, which states that "[font color=red]modern errors[/font]" such as contraception, abortion, homosexual marriage and euthanasia are "matters that gravely offend human dignity."

1. Friggin Catholics

after my wife had been teaching in a Catholic School for 12 years and we were married for 17 years, the priest came to her and told that we had to get re-married in the Catholic Church or else she would be fired. We were married by my foster dad who is a Lutheran pastor, but that didn't count.

2. Bullshit. It absolutely does count.

Just try getting a previous Lutheran marriage annulled by the Catholic Church (I speak from experience).

By the way, that's "Bullshit" to the priest, not to you.

3. Thanks I knew you were talking about the priest

When my wife first started working for the Archdiocese the priest in charge had no problem wife our wedding being solomnized by a Lutheran clergyman. However when he left this new conservative dude came in and that's when the shit started. She eventually was fired for having our daughter baptized in a Lutheran Church and yes we no longer worship with a Roman Catholic faith community.

5. It may be bullshit but

Let see. Your Lutheran marriage was between 2 people who were not Catholic-Right?

That is considered valid. On the other hand if a Catholic marries a Lutheran by a Lutheran minister that marriage is not considered valid by the Catholic Church.

It is possible that it would have to go before the tribunal but it would not be a annulment process.

4. Never send your children to "Christian", meaning born again/fundamentalist or Romanist schools.
