Forcing the Bible on children and teachers who may not subscribe to that faith in public schools is morally corrupt and inherently wrong, vile, and evil.
Chelsie supported: IMPEACH RYAN WALTERSTo Whom It May Concern at the Archdiocese of Denver,
Like many staff members before me, I was also part of what many came to refer to as “The Fr. Daniel Freeze-Out Program.” Until now, I have chosen to remain mostly silent, as I still hold great respect and care for the colleagues, staff and parishioners I left behind when my position of assistant principal—after 22 years of dedicated service—was eliminated. The exodus of half the school staff this year is critical and should be taken seriously.
In my final years at Most Precious Blood, I found myself often trying to shield the staff from the effects of Fr. Daniel’s leadership style. As a result, I endured what I (and many) would describe as a hostile work environment, which ultimately took a toll on my health and well-being. However, I am strong, but I did need time and space to heal from that experience, and for clarity which I have now have.
One of the greatest blessings through this journey has been my deep and abiding faith. I trusted that I would be taken care of—and I have been. I now find myself in a nurturing and supportive spiritual environment where the Gospel is preached through the lens of love, hope, and encouragement. I leave Mass feeling uplifted, joyful, and inspired to actually live and share the Good News. I no longer experience messages that invoke fear or shame, but rather messages that call me to grow in grace and service.
The only real loss I still carry is not being able to complete the final two years of Biblical School at MPB—a spiritual goal I hope to resume in the future. Still, I remain incredibly grateful for the love and support of my MPB community, which continues to hold a very special place in my heart.
I am writing not out of bitterness, but out of deep concern for those who remain. My hope is that conditions improve not only for the dedicated school staff, but also for the parishioners I served alongside for more than 25 years. Many of them do not have the option to leave or escape the current environment. In my case, the decision was made for me—and in that, I consider myself fortunate.
I share this with the sincere hope that it might prompt reflection and ultimately foster healing and renewal for a community I still deeply care about.
Respectfully,

Nina supported: Protect The Christians of Syria! Let's Reach 1000000 Signature!I have spent lots of money at Sephora over many years. I will not be doing so again until Huda Beauty is no longer sold there. Sephora would not tolerate open hatred and lies towards any other minority, but is equivocating and waffling because the hatred is “only” aimed at Jews. Sephora, live up to your stated values of diversity and inclusiveness!
