High School Athletic Director Loses Job After Same-Sex Marriage
The athletic director at Cathedral High School lost her job this week, saying she was pressured to leave after marrying her female partner in August. Christine M. Judd, who served as athletic director and dean of students, said she is no longer an employee of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Springfield school system after a meeting Wednesday with administrators of the Catholic high school. The diocese listed her departure as a resignation, but Judd said she is still exploring her legal options.

[...] High School Athletic Director Loses Job After Same-Sex Marriage [...]
I don’t believe that Ms. Judd should have been fired from her job as the Athletic Director/Dean of Students for a Cathloic instituation. Her life outside of her job is not in conflict with her job. Why can’t she lead a life that she believes in, not the church. I would have hid it from the Cathloic Diocese, because we all know that the church doesn’t except homosexuality in any form, but half of the priests are homosexual themselves & the church does nothing about them. I don’t know what the laws of Springfield (Illinois, I think)are, but it must be legal if she got married in that state. I hope she goes ahead with legal action against the Diocese. Thank You..
