“not because he is gay, but because his recent public statements regarding his long-term, same-sex partnership are at odds with the beliefs and mission of Chestnut Hill College and the Catholic Church.”
Oh so it was the fact he was gay and happy that was the problem. If he had been self hating and maladjusted that would have been perfectly suitable and not at odds at all with the catholic belief and mission.
