This is always a sensitive topic but I do agree with the courts decision on this one. If you are in a same sex marriage, why would you want to work for a religious organization that teaches against that lifestyle and then complain to the courts later?
Exactly, cut and dried, aka Freedom of Religion.
Now cue the lefties who will call the Church homophobic, racist, and every other catch phrase they like to toss around these days.
Meanwhile, those who attended and graduated from Catholic schools (like me) know that gay and lesbian teachers have long been employed as lay educators. As students, we all knew who they were and it was not an issue whatsoever.
It has only been under the most recent archbishop that they’ve decided to crack down on this front. Exactly why they are just now taking this position remains unclear to me and I do not believe it has been clearly stated.
Which is their right to do, but it’s also my right as an alumni to refuse to give them any more dollars, and to discourage taxpayer dollars being directed to them in the form of vouchers.
If you take the position of the court, I am hard-pressed to understand why employees who engage in other religiously prohibited actions such as premarital sex and contraception are allowed to hold their jobs. Why is violating the religious prohibition on same sex marriage a terminable offense compared to other violations of religious doctrine? Companies in “at will” states can still be held to account when they terminate an employee in a way that is inconsistent with their stated policy. If the ministerial exception gives religious organizations the ability to make such calls, do they also have the latitude to discriminate in the application of their own policies?
Good points, Mackey. They are such good Christians. 🤯
If the archdiocese can do that on religious grounds, then I should, as a taxpayer should not have to subsidize them with their tax exempt status. They should not have it both ways.
