Has anyone here, e.g., taught at a Novus Ordo school and been fired for being a traditional Catholic?

I have heard stories of Novus Ordo schools allowing non-Catholic or -Christian, openly cohabitating, atheist, etc., teachers on their staff, but when they found out they had a SSPX or other traditional Catholic on staff, they fired him.

I had a traditionalist friend who taught at a NO school. He wasn't fired but quit eventually because he was ostracized.

I think, after a period of time, being in a novus ordo school would be repulsive to the Catholic.

These days it's trads ostracizing trads for remaining trad.

This is an important topic.

I have known others who were fired for this. And I had a similar
experience, not a "job" but a partnership.

After all, our Resistance priests are being "fired" from the SSPX
for being too Catholic.

I have had friends who were "expelled" from Mel Gibson's chapel
in Malibu because they stood up for the Catholic Faith.

I have a friend who was "fired from the pulpit" when the parish
pastor used this person's name and announced the end of my
friend's tenure at the parish right in front of the Sunday
congregation. And that was in 1973. It was due to my friend's
consistent resistance to the changes in the liturgy, as choir
director.

And now, we see the tug of money interests affecting how our
independent priest adhere to principles. When some of their more
affluent parishioners are taking sides with Accordistas, that is,
willing to harshly judge +W and blindly defend +F, the independent
pastor might be averse to touching on "political issues" suddenly.
Mind you, this is happening when he has been outspokenly in favor
of touching on "political issues" when it has to do with the Federal
bureaucracy, in regards to the Social Kingship of Our Lord Jesus
Christ. Maybe the principle of "principles" has two departments?

We used to call this "duplicity."

I'd call it B16's hermeneutic of double mindedness.
