CINCINNATI (AP) — An assistant principal at a Catholic school in Cincinnati is about to be fired over a blog post he wrote in support of gay marriage.
The Cincinnati Enquirer reports that the Archdiocese of Cincinnati placed Mike Moroski on administrative leave Feb. 4 and plans to fire him.
An archdiocese spokesman says he couldn’t comment on a personnel matter.
Moroski has refused to take down the blog post and has hired an attorney, although he does acknowledge that he violated the archdiocese’s social-media policy.
The 34-year-old, who is married, says he believes in Catholicism but has to follow his conscience when it comes to gay rights.
Moroski is in his second year at Purcell Marian High School after teaching English at Moeller High School for 10 years.

He has to follow his conscience,ok, but the Catholic Church must also follow theirs. Now he can follow his conscience to the unemployment line. He had to know that. If he's ok with that, I'm ok with that ,too. If for no other reason he should be fired just for being so stupid. But, he did what he did because he obviously wanted to post that to the world, so now he can, and should, look for another line of work.
The catholic church has no conscience.
He will find a new job at a much better place of employment because of this. People can see a good person by their actions, and he followed his impulse for goodness.
The Catholic church is a shambles and the world knows this. They have no standing when it comes to talking about what is right and wrong when they help their priests cover up their dirty deeds against children.
I would have more respect for Mike Moroski if he dumped his wife and walked the walk! Connecticut has many fine gay chappels that could put him on that path. There is no need for him to condemn the Catholic Church.
