But a day after Morfii was dismissed, she posted an Instagram message that explained her side: "This weekend I married the love of my life and unfortunately I was terminated from my job as a result... “In their eyes I’m not the right kind of Catholic for my choice in partner.”

Cini said that the parents hadn’t known Morffi was gay, but did not care about her sexual orientation. "The way they handled this was just unbelievable," Christina Lopez, whose son was one of Morfii's students, said while standing next to other outraged parents who assembled outside the school on Friday morning. In a letter by the school principal Carlota Morales, she informed parents of the "difficult and necessary decision" to let go of Morfii. Archdiocese of Miami spokeswoman Mary Ross Agosta confirmed that Morffi had been fired, but would not elaborate on the reasons except to say that the teacher had broken her contract. It goes on to warn that "because of the Church's particular function in society, certain conduct, inconsistent with the teachings of the Catholic Church, could lead to disciplinary action, including termination, even if it occurs outside the normal working day and outside the strict confines of work performed by the employee for the Archdiocese."

 Morfii, who worked as an elementary school teacher at Saints Peter and Paul Catholic School in Miami for seven years, was terminated Thursday -- one day after marrying another woman in Key Largo, ABC station WPLG reported. She just does everything in love.
– She married the love of her life and believes she was fired for it. Jocelyn Morffi, a first-grade teacher at Miami's Saints Peter and Paul Catholic School, was terminated Thursday, days after marrying her same-sex partner of two years, reports the Miami Herald. A friend says Morffi was told she had to resign Wednesday, her first day back at school since the Feb. 3 wedding, and was fired when she refused. Though Morffi says there's no question why she was terminated—"in their eyes I'm not the right kind of Catholic for my choice in partner," she writes on Instagram—some 20 parents arrived at the school Friday demanding answers. "We were extremely livid. They treated her like a criminal, they didn't even let her get her things out of her classroom," says one, noting Morffi "by far was one of the best teachers out there." Morffi had worked at the school for almost seven years, coached basketball, and took students to deliver meals to the homeless on weekends, a friend says. She's "made such a contribution to the school. She never imposes her personal beliefs on others. She just does everything in love," says an "outraged" parent. Nonetheless, a spokesperson for the Archdiocese of Miami says Morffi violated her contract, which notes teachers may be fired for conduct "inconsistent" with Catholic teachings. Other teachers received verbal warnings simply for attending the wedding, reports ABC News. A mother tells the Herald she's withdrawing her child from the school as a result. Noting no state laws prohibit discrimination on sexual orientation, the director of a LGBT rights group says he hopes the "shocking" case will encourage people to fight for change.
