INDIANAPOLIS — The Indianapolis archbishop said Thursday that his orders for two Catholic high schools in the city to fire gay teachers were about upholding church teaching on marriage and not about
sexual orientation.
"This is not a witch hunt, we don't go looking for these situations," Thompson said."When they are brought to my attention ... it is my responsibility, my duty, to oversee the living of the faith, especially for our ministerial witnesses." Thompson maintained Thursday that he wasn't focusing on same-sex marriages while overlooking school employees living together or who were divorced and remarried without receiving a church annulment. He said church leaders would help the employees take steps toward living according to Catholic teachings.
Story continuesAll three schools receive significant funding through Indiana's private school voucher program. Cathedral, for instance, received about $1.1 million last school year in voucher funding for about one-fifth of its 1,100 students, according to a state education department report.
