text: I am not talking about firing gay employees.  My attitude is that as long as the gay employee does not make their relationship an issue, then it should not be an issue. If they can keep that out of the institution and simply do their job, fine.  
  
  In other words--if a gay science teacher in a Catholic school is content to teach science, fine.  If, however, they are criticizing church teaching, undermining or undermining it in the classroom, that is different.  Then it becomes an issue.  
  
  While we should focus on the poor, the problem is that abortion is not just one issue among others.  The bishops would not have to harp on it----if it wasn't so much an issue in secular society.  The bishops continue to harp on abortion because there are "Catholics" who think support of abortion is compatible with the Catholic Faith.  
  
  I know of no Catholic who thinks ignoring the poor is compatible with the Catholic Faith, or at least I know of no Catholic claiming that.
