Child out of wedlock costs Catholic principal his job
Posted by Frank Belavis on 4/24/25 at 5:48 am
tl;dr Popular local principal, who saved a local Catholic school from closure, confessed his sin of tapping it in the missionary position for the sole sake of procreation without putting a ring on it first. Baw confesses this super extremely heinous act to the school's priest; priest breaks the seal of confession and fires the guy.
Thoughts? Figured this was interesting timing, given the recently deceased Pope was all about forgiving these kinds of sins. It feels like a step back for such a welcoming institution.

For added context: this school knowingly kept around not one, but two, child predators.

For added added context: The Archdiocese has zero issue with taking the exorbitant amounts of money from single parents.

quote:
Mr. Surrency has been a transformative leader. His dedication to our children, faculty, and school community has been nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment he arrived, he brought a new energy and spirit that had been missing for years.
Mr. Surrency:
Boosted morale among students and teachers
Personally greeted students every morning to start their day positively
Pulled the school out of approximately $200,000 in debt
Increased funding and secured donations for future growth, including new STEAM labs
Created new extracurricular opportunities like a boys’ baseball team, with plans for a wrestling team and summer camp
Supported his faculty fully—even substituting in classrooms when needed
Produced weekly newsletters to keep families informed and connected
Started each day with a prayer and video message that united our community
Designed a fresh, new logo for VOL to represent our growing spirit
Made students, parents, and staff feel respected, safe, and supported
His removal, reportedly due to having a child out of wedlock, disregards the overwhelming support and trust he has earned from the entire school community. Mr. Surrency’s professional excellence and personal integrity are what matter most to the families of VOL.
......
Mr. Brandon Surrency brought renewed hope and progress to Visitation of Our Lady School. He led with compassion, energy, and integrity—earning the trust of students, parents, and staff alike. His removal, based on personal circumstances, ignores the overwhelming positive impact he has had on the school. We believe in redemption, compassion, and second chances—values that Mr. Surrency has modeled every day. For the well-being of our children and our community, we urge the Archdiocese to bring him back.

It's going to take a lot more in tax funding to blot out the Sun than that. It's almost as if this "plan" is just a grift.

On April 9, 2025, President Donald J. Trump issued an executive order aimed at rescinding prior regulations that defined the term "showerhead" and imposed limitations on water flow. The President characterized these regulations as examples of overregulation that hinder economic growth and personal freedom. He specifically targeted rules established during the Obama and Biden administrations, which he referred to as part of a "war on showers." AP News
The executive order directs the Secretary of Energy to publish a notice in the Federal Register to rescind the regulation titled "Energy Conservation Program: Definition of Showerhead," which was codified at 10 C.F.R. 430.2. The President emphasized that the Oxford English Dictionary provides a sufficient definition of "showerhead," rendering the extensive regulatory definitions unnecessary.
This action marks a continuation of President Trump's efforts to roll back appliance efficiency standards. In February 2025, the administration announced delays in implementing energy and water efficiency mandates for various household appliances, including central air conditioners, washing machines, and toilets. The Department of Energy stated that these delays were intended to provide consumers with more choices. BBC News+3Reuters+3AP News+3
Environmental and consumer advocacy groups have expressed concerns over these rollbacks. They argue that such actions could lead to increased water and energy consumption, higher utility bills for consumers, and exacerbate environmental challenges such as droughts. The Appliance Standards Awareness Project noted that existing showerhead designs already meet consumer needs while promoting efficiency. People.comPeople.com+3AP News+3AP News+3
President Trump's focus on appliance standards has been a recurring theme during his administration. He has publicly criticized regulations limiting water flow in household fixtures, asserting that they result in inefficient water use and inconvenience for consumers. In 2020, the Department of Energy proposed changes to showerhead definitions to allow increased water flow, following the President's complaints about inadequate water pressure affecting his personal grooming routine. Reuters+4Washington Examiner+4AP News+4People.com+1AP News+1Washington Examiner+3BBC News+3CBS News+3
The President's executive order specifies that the rescission of the showerhead definition regulation will become effective 30 days from its publication in the Federal Register. The order also includes provisions to ensure that its implementation does not interfere with the functions of the Office of Management and Budget and is consistent with applicable law and subject to the availability of appropriations.
Critics of the administration's actions argue that the rollback of efficiency standards is unnecessary and wasteful. They contend that modern showerheads and other appliances are designed to provide adequate performance while conserving water and energy. The Natural Resources Defense Council has labeled such regulatory changes as detrimental to both consumers and the environment. AP News+1CBS News+1
Supporters of the President's actions assert that deregulating appliance standards restores consumer choice and eliminates burdensome government overreach. They claim that individuals should have the freedom to select products that best meet their preferences and needs without restrictive federal mandates. The administration maintains that such deregulation fosters economic growth and enhances the quality of life for Americans. Reuters

Well Covid itself only got you if you walked into the wrong door at Walmart in a certain time period in 2020 so if you believe that, this could make sense too.
You could lessen your Covid chances in 2020 by attending a rally for a dead fent addict, and negate all chances by torching the nearest liquor store.
