Conservatives livid at bishop for not defending NJ teacher and her nutty antigay Facebook rants

A coalition of angry conservative Catholics is attempting to exert pressure on church officials in New Jersey and force them to side with a teacher who was suspended from her job at Somerville, New Jersey’s Immaculata High School.

According to MyCentralJersey.com, Patricia Jannuzzi was placed on administrative leave after she posted a string of inflammatory, anti-LGBT comments to her personal Facebook page.

The Catholic group — called the Lepanto Institute — have taken out radio attack ads against Bishop Paul Bootkoski of Metuchen, New Jersey, accusing the clergyman of siding with liberals against the teacher, who said that same-sex marriage is part of a plot to “reengineer western civ into a slow extinction.”

On March 8, Jannuzzi wrote on Facebook, “We need healthy families with a mother and a father for the sake of the children and humanity!!!!!”

The statement was part of a rant against same-sex marriage in which the teacher said that the LGBT “agenda” is “one minute they argue they were born this way and it is not a choice to get 14th Amendment rights equal protection…bologna…which was carved for permanent characteristics, unchangeable characteristics such as race or disability…but once they in [sic] the 14th Amendment they will argue everyone should be able to choose being they (sic) gay or lesbian lifestyle…in other words they want to reengineer western civ into a slow extinction.”
