"Quite simply the term 'Catholic lifestyle' refers in this instance to Paul Cronin's marital status in the eyes of the Catholic Church. This means that he is unable to participate in the sacramental life of the church and fulfil his role as faith leader of the school."
NSW P&C Federation acting president Di Giblin said a principal's private life should not impact on his or her school career, as long as it did not affect their ability to do the job.
"What they do on their own time is their own business," she said.

[To my mind public rules allow much private life problems which clash with the church.]
