Catholic Church Does Not Have to Allow Same-Sex Marriage Among the Clergy, Court Rules

On Friday, the 11-judge Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in favor of a Roman Catholic church in Chicago, striking down a former music director’s lawsuit after the church had fired him for violating Catholic doctrine by planning to enter a same-sex “marriage.” The court ruled that the First Amendment protected the church’s freedom to hire and fire the music director under the ministerial exemption, and that the court had no business adjudicating claims regarding a “hostile environment.”

“Worship is sacred. That’s why worship leaders who select and perform elements of worship are ministers of the faith, conveying its teachings to the faithful,” Daniel Blomberg, senior counsel at Becket, the religious liberty law firm that represented the church, said in a statement on Monday. “That’s also why the church—not the state—gets to make sure that its music ministers are directing its congregation in a way that’s faithful to its beliefs.”

If I understand correctly, this was an en banc ruling, which means the next step in appeal, if taken, would be appeal to the USSC.

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

Catholic Church Does Not Have to Allow Same-Sex Marriage Among the Clergy, Court Rules. It's a little hard to believe it's actually come to this.  **nononono*

Give it some time, and the judicial system will find a way to rule the exact opposite - while it's also determining what may (and may not) be preached from the pulpits across America.

About 10 years ago, the priest at the church (Episcopal) we were attending was asked what he was preaching. I don't remember which entity was questioning him, but it was concerning.

I do know that some churches are preparing (organizing and mobilizing) as they realize that the pandemic is a way to control religious freedom.         

What happened to the separation of powers - Church & State???
