re: Recent SCOTUS Decision Impact on Religious Institutions Employment Standards

quote:

---

My church is strongly considering not allowing any marriages in our church. Go get a hall. We aren’t going to be trapped.

Catholic Church won’t do that. Marriage is an important sacrament that needs to be administered

It is a good question, and likely one that will end up being taken up to the Supreme Court at some point.

I lean that the first amendment supersedes Title VII.

There are a few scenarios I don’t know if the church fully considered. What if someone was born a man, transitions to a woman (or at least lives as one) but dates/is married to a woman?

Also, catholic schools routinely overlook divorce and premarital sex. It’s really a don’t ask don’t tell situation.

In the past we’ve seen the SCOTUS side with the religious institutes.
