Archbishop Charles Thompson of Indianapolis, took an UNBELIEVABLY COURAGEOUS move of stripping a local Jesuit high school of its Catholic title. The Jesuits are fighting him and Fr James Martin is leading the way.
Let’s encourage Archbishop Thompson to keep up the courageous work. Archdiocese of Indianapolis 2006-18 | 1400 N. Meridian Street, Indianapolis, IN 46202 | 800-382-9836

Indianapolis, Ind., Jun 20, 2019 / 01:49 pm (CNA).- The Archdiocese of Indianapolis announced Thursday that a local Jesuit high school will no longer be recognized as a Catholic school, due to a disagreement about the employment of a teacher who attempted to contract a same-sex marriage.
“All those who minister in Catholic educational institutions carry out an important ministry in communicating the fullness of Catholic teaching to students both by word and action inside and outside the classroom,” the archdiocese said in a statement Thursday.
“In the Archdiocese of Indianapolis, every archdiocesan Catholic school and private Catholic school has been instructed to clearly state in its contracts and ministerial job descriptions that all ministers must convey and be supportive of all teachings of the Catholic Church.”

Here is what the Jesuits had to say:
” After long and prayerful consideration, we determined that following the Archdiocese’s directive would not only violate our informed conscience on this particular matter, but also set a concerning precedent for future interference in the school’s operations and other governance matters that Brebeuf Jesuit leadership has historically had the sole right and privilege to address and decide. ”
GOD BLESS ARCHBISHOP THOMPSON FOR HIS BRAVE STAND!
WE PRAY THAT MORE OF OUR CHURCH OFFICIALS WILL STAND UP FOR THE TRUTH AND SHOW SUCH COURAGE!!!
Hooray for Archbishop Thompson!
My daughters graduated from Jesuit-run Georgetown and Loyola Universities. They no longer practice their faith, and have only contempt for the Catholic Church. Their children are not baptized and are, essentially, being raised as 2019 pagans! They came out of these so-called Catholic Universities with contempt long before the revelation of all the disgusting Church scandals perpetuated by priests like Fr.James Martin coupled with spineless Bishops.
Before spending hard-earned money to provide a “Catholic” education for their children, I would advise any Catholic parent to seriously research and investigate the intended “Catholic” school. Far too many of our schools and universities are simply presenting a false front. They ought to, at least, have the COURAGE, to admit, that they are no longer CATHOLIC!
