'Is the school committing itself to ideologies which are contrary to Catholic teaching? If so, is it still a Catholic school?' McManus asked in an April 3 prepared statement. The bishop accused the school of flying symbols that contradict church teachings. 'He has to be called to task, quite frankly,' Twarog said.Įarlier this year, McManus asked Nativity to remove its flags or risk losing the right to call itself a Catholic school.
Twarog told NCR that he and 'a small handful' of other alumni from the College of the Holy Cross, a Jesuit college in Worcester, will be looking to challenge McManus for 'basically bullying' institutions like Nativity School of Worcester. He's a bully,' said Joseph Twarog, a Massachusetts resident who is helping to organize the protest, which is scheduled for 10 a.m. should be a leader of his flock, not threatening to punish them.
