Her views on abortion were at odds with the Catholic Church, according to an email from the school’s principal.
Hughes graduated from Nolan Catholic before she moved to New York City where she worked in human resources as a corporate trainer for 20 years before she answered the call to the priesthood.
Ortiz could not be reached for comment Friday afternoon. Hughes did not reply to an email requesting comment.Ortiz wrote that Hughes was nominated because of her “great perseverance in the service of others.” Ortiz also wrote that information came to light concerning Hughes’ “public advocacy on issues that are directly opposed to the Church’s teaching.”
Pat Svacina, a spokesperson for the Catholic Diocese of Fort Worth, said this was a school-based decision and referred questions to Ortiz.“She clearly, clearly meets all of the criteria. It doesn’t mean that you have to be Catholic,” she said. “I’ve been Catholic all of my life. No one is going to agree a hundred percent with the Catholic Church.”in which she stated that a woman’s choice to end a pregnancy is personal.
