Gay Priest Hired at U Penn

Submitted By: Fabulous Rob on April 7, 2011 One Comment

Father James St. George, who says he was fired from his teaching position at Philadelphia’s Chestnut Hill College because he was gay, has landed on his feet and secured a job at the University of Pennsylvania.  As reported in The Advocate:

St. George, who is part of the St. Miriam Church in Blue Bell, a sect which allows homosexual priests, will be teaching a class on religion, social justice, and urban development, along with another of Penn’s professors.

According to NBC Philadelphia, administrators at St. George’s former school, Chestnut Hill College, said they had been “under the impression that St. George was a Roman Catholic-ordained priest, a requirement for teaching at the school, because he wore a traditional Catholic priest’s collar.”

“It feels good to be teaching again,” St. George said.

    Please check again. He was not hired by the University of Pennsylvania. He is a guest lecturer in Professor Lamas’ class and, I blieve, the professor is paying him out of his own pocket. BIG difference.
