Major decision with regard to Churches being able to keep the LBGT crowd out of their churches and schools.
Sotomayor and Ginsburg are pure politicians. This should not have even been a question.
7-2....not bad......................
Bye bye homosexuals that lied to get hired by Catholic schools. The court says you can be fired and you will be. The crush of students whose parents are trying to protect them from government school indoctrination now makes this an employers market. Schools that don’t “get it” will be collapsed overnight.
Praise God! Not Catholic myself, but common sense tells you that if you’re teaching in a private Christian school, you’re ministering the Word of God, one way or another, while you teach. And a church has the right to teach according to it’s doctrine, and expect its teachers to know and pass on said doctrine.
Excellent....They’re starting to lean to the fact that the Law of the Churches and their beliefs are NOT subject to the civil laws. Church members, however, not exempt from “ordinary” Civil Laws.
Winning!
I cannot understand why any rational and honest person who honestly loves their own freedoms - whether they are a religious person or not - sees anything wrong with a religious institution having religious standards for its employees, all its employees.
Freedom is not a demand that ANY private outfit has to accept you.
Freedom is about what THE GOVERNMENT cannot do.
A private institution is not the government and its private associations are made in the course of private individuals (employers and employees) agreeing to associate, or not.
No one compels by law, by force of government, that they can, or they must work for any outfit. And if an agreement to work for a private outfit is made, that includes the rules the private outfit has.
Someone unhappy with those rules is not compelled by government to keep their job under rules they don’t like, and neither should the employer be compelled to keep an employee by accommodating their rules to please the employee.
Since the 1960s the entire set of ideas about our freedoms has been turned upside down, from a position of defining powers the government does not have (cannot deny freedom of speech) to powers the government does have against our freedoms (”hate speech”, forced acceptance for helping make abortion available, forced work to produce things contrary to your religious beliefs [gay weddings], and many other examples).
The idea of “freedom” has denigrated to “politically correct outcomes” as expressions of “freedom” but the freedoms of those who oppose those outcomes are taken away. The constitutional freedoms have lost their universal nature and are now handed out or denied by political preferences.
All we need are vouchers for private schools, and the entire secular education apparatus can be dismantled by sending kids to religious private schools with tax dollars.
maybe we can establish or re-establish some old timey good Catholic schools as in my youth...prayer, dress code,pledge of allegiance, etc....
