Pope Francis has been pretty clear on the treatment of the LGBT community. Could it be that St. Mary's Academy is in communion with the Church's teaching (as expressed by the Pope) and if a Catholic is persistent in persecuting gay people, he would be acting against the leadership of the Pope, i.e. schismatic? (Of course, acts of schism carry the penalty of automatic excommunication.)

It is a very interesting time to be Catholic.

yup. Pope Francis is quite clear on how to treat all people. This is a big shift, for the positive for sure

It is indeed!  I no longer identify as such but I feel much better about potentially changing my mind again and returning to the Church with Francis as Pope vs. Benedict.
