What if a Bishop or Cardinal in a Vatican diocese in the USA discriminated against a parish Priest due to a disability? Let's say the disability had no impact on the function of the ministry. Does the priest have rights in the USA?

Better question, what right does the Government have in determining what is and what isn't acceptable within a Religion? You mention disability, but what if the "disability" was the parish Priest's homosexuality and he was being "discriminated against" due to the clash between what the sodomites are pushing and what God commands?

I could easily see this scenario coming in the near future.

I agree, But, what about this teacher does she have any protection? Maybe she is just a victim for the greater good?

In a so called christian religious institutional organization who would be in power and control? IMHO I would say the politicians, AKA pharisees.
