If she signed a contract swing her actions would always conform to church teachings then she doesn’t have a leg to stand on.IVF is seen as a sin against G*d for interfering in his work and wishes.

That appears to be her ace in the hole here. Apparently she’s signed no such contract nor made any attempt to portray herself as Catholic. Which doesn’t surprise me. My wife has worked almost exclusively for Catholic hospitals for the last 30 years, and there have been no contractual obligations outside of the scope of medical care she delivers on their behalf.

“IVF is seen as a sin against G*d for interfering in his work and wishes.”

Without question, that is the Truth.

Medicine has gone too far in not only destroying life, but also creating or saving lives.

In any case, her case, if it uses the argument cited in this article, fails on the facts alone.

FTA: "Herx's lawsuit, filed Friday in U.S. District Court in Fort Wayne, alleges the diocese violated the Civil Rights Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act by discriminating against Herx based on gender and on infertility, which is considered a disability."

Neither being female nor being infertile is a sin acording to the Catholic Church: she was not fired for gender or for disability.

As understand it, the USSC ruled earlier this year that being a teacher in a denominational school was ministerial in the Lutherans' (Hosanna-Tabor) case, which obviously didn't restrict the definition to those who have received priestly ordination.

How is it a sin against God. God tells us to procreate and it takes a male and female to carry out procreation. So was she not doing that - do you know, or laying with a same sex partner? Or was something wrong with either of their reproductive organs?

Do you take medicine or go to a doctor? Well, did anyone accuse you of sinning against God? So be careful who you do.

Freedom of association and freedom of religion ensure they can fire her for this.. the contract, which I am sure exists, is not needed.
