A Catholic school district in Montana fired a middle school teacher last month after it received an anonymous letter indicating that the woman, who is single, was pregnant.
Shaela Evenson who was, by all accounts, an excellent literature teacher was fired by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Helena for violating the morality clause of her contract.
Evenson made a willful decision to violate the terms of her contract by having sex outside the sanctified bonds of wedlock, Superintendent Patrick Haggarty told The Montana Standard.
In January, Pope Francis not only encouraged women to breastfeed in the Sistine Chapel if their children were hungry, he baptized a child born to a mother who wasnt married in the Church.
