Hypocrite!

Yes, I'm talking about myself. I am feeling quite hypocritical at the moment. Why you ask? Well, as an employee of a Catholic school I am required to support the catholic ethos of the school (this part is easy enough most of the time as most of it sits within my personal moral structure with some NOTABLE exceptions) and also to complete a Graduate Certificate in Catholic Education.
This 2nd part is proving a little problematic at the moment as I am at present engaging in the painful process of writing a 2500 word paper for a Moral Theology course. The topic of the paper? "Discuss the implications of marital breakdown for the Catholic school, its ethos and the pastoral care that is needed in such situations." To be written in 6 very specific sections based on the idea that humans are made in the image of God and how this impacts on marriage, family and sexality. I won't go into it any further, as it is boring and I don't believe it. What is fundamentally pissing me off about having to write this is as follows:
a) The content of the course (4 intensive days of lectures) was not particularly relevant to this final assignment.
b) I despise having to read paper after paper about how divorce is not recognised, homosexuality is 'disordered' (and so is masturbation for that matter) and marriage involves God.
c) I resent having to write a paper discussing an idea that I myself do not accept - that is that marriage, family and sexuality are tied up in religion.
d) I hate being a hypocrite.
e) I am not Catholic. I do not want to have to profess catholic views in order to pass a paper. The last course I did allowed for this situation. This course is taught by a priest and does not allow for this contingency. Grr.

I guess that this is one of the pitfalls of being non-religious and choosing to work in a religious school. The trade-off I made in order to secure permancy.  Sigh.
