University Chaplain Sacked After Holding Service of Reparation for Gay Pride

The attacks on the Faith are increasing. Good on Father for being a faithful Priest standing foursquare for Catholic Doctrine.

If I were His Excellency Philip Tartaglia, the Archbishop of Glasgow, my response would be swift. He should inform the university that, since they will not tolerate the practice of the Catholic Faith, he will not tolerate Catholics working for or attending the university, ordering all Catholics to sever any affiliation with the evil institution under pain of excommunication..

Fr Mark Morris held a Rosary and Benediction service to atone for the 'gross offence' of Glasgow Pride


A priest who offered a service of reparation for the “gross offence against God” of Glasgow Pride has been removed as a university chaplain.
Fr Mark Morris offered a Rosary, Litany and Benediction at Immaculate Heart of Mary Church in Balornock, Glasgow on Monday night.
Glasgow Caledonian University sacked him as Catholic chaplain the following day, saying his views were at odds with those of the educational institution.
University Principal Professor Pamela Gillies said: “Following due consultation Father Mark Morris will not return to his chaplaincy role at the university in September.
“The university will work with the Archdiocese of Glasgow to ensure the continued provision of chaplaincy support for staff and students at our Faith and Belief Centre when the new term starts.
“The university is strongly inclusive and committed to supporting equality and diversity on campus.”
However, the university’s Catholic society said it was “extremely disappointed” at the move. “It is frankly abhorrent that a Catholic Priest would be dismissed from his post as a Catholic chaplain for merely reaffirming the teachings of the Catholic faith,” the GCU Catholic Community said.
“It seems that Glasgow Caledonian University have a very warped understanding of ‘Equality and Diversity’, whereby they have permitted absolutely no diversity of opinion whatsoever. We are very sad to see that the opinions and beliefs of Catholics are not valued or respected at the university chaplaincy,” they added.
“In all charity, we would urge the university to reconsider this unfair dismissal of our chaplain.”
In a brief statement, the Archdiocese of Glasgow said it was “aware of the University’s decision” and will “address the provision of chaplaincy support in due course”.

Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
