Religion 100% aside, it's"okay" because she breached her contract

Whether or not you agree with such things, that is the case. Personally, I don't like it and I'm glad that it wasn't the school's decision as it seems she was important to the students, but she knew what she signed when she signed it and knew the risk she was taking. Once again, I do NOT like it, but I'm not going to get up in arms about it either. She took a job at a catholic institution--knowing the catholic stance on homosexuality--and made a "public" action against their stance, knowing it was against her contract. Of course, I'm so-so on how public a marriage is, but the qualifications in most places for a "common law" marriage tends to entail publicly behaving and ascribing to "being married", so I'm not going to get in a fuss over it.
The part I like the least is that they seemed to have pushed her to resign instead of be fired...you tend not to receive unemployment when you've resigned, although I'm not sure you would have for being fired due to a breech of contract either.

There is a difference in the degree of the transgressions and the public nature of them as well.

Actually, the Pope has the right to say "sorry, you're not a Catholic anymore".

Inaction, like, for example, not saving lives where you could have is also grounds for expulsion.

Hmm, but I think that's a different type of inaction than the kind he's discussing
