WASHINGTON — A federal appeals court July 9 dismissed a lawsuit filed against a Chicago Catholic parish and the Chicago Archdiocese by a former parish music director.
The 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in a 7-3 en banc, or full court, decision, said the plaintiff’s claim against St. Andrew the Apostle Parish fell under the ministerial exemption that protects religious organizations from discrimination lawsuits by parish employees.
The former employee, Sandor Demkovich, claimed in his 2016 lawsuit that his parish priest subjected him to a hostile work environment because of his disability, including metabolic syndrome — a group of conditions that increase the risk of heart disease, stroke and diabetes. He also said he had been harassed and fired because of his same-sex marriage.
A district judge dismissed the same-sex marriage discrimination claim on the grounds that the church had a religious basis for its decision, but it allowed the disability claim to go forward. Then last year, a 7th Circuit panel upheld Demkovich’s disability claim and also revived the same-sex marriage discrimination claim, which prompted the church and the archdiocese to seek a review by the full panel of 11 judges.
The court agreed, with one judge recused, and heard arguments in the case this February.
In its July ruling, reversing its previous decision to revive the discrimination claim, the court stressed that a ministerial exception protects the entire ministerial relationship and not just during hiring or firing of an employee.

That this even has to go this far in a supposed constitutional court of law shows how low we’ve sunk as a nation. And the “ministerial exception” is completely antithetical to religious freedom, carving out a very narrow allowance for it.
You can never “allow” constitutional liberty. You can only suppress it.

First Amendment...freedom of religion. If you eat pork you can’t be a Rabbi...if you’re a pervert you can’t be employed by a Catholic church. Although they’re not included in the Amendment just imagine its last words being “shall not be infringed”.
That's not true according to current employment law. Only those positions classified as "ministers" may be restricted for religious reasons.
A Catholic owned and operated school was sued by a homosexual because he was refused a position as the cafeteria manager because he was in a same-sex "marriage." The Massachusetts court found against the school.
The homo-Left will continue to throw crap against the wall until something sticks.
What would the Federal courts have ruled? Yes,many don't have bundles of cash to pursue cases...and that's what filthy lawyers and their filthy clients count on.
The “ministerial exception” has been recognized nationwide, through leftist court precedent. That means that if your Fundamental Baptist Church hires a janitor, security guard, or non-”ministerial” employee (the definition is up for grabs,) then the church is subject to employment law, with everything that entails, including “non-discrimination” dictates and the who leftist ball of wax.
And if the non-ministerial employee later comes out as openly “gay” or any other identity at odds with Baptist beliefs, the employee can’t be fired for those reasons or the church faces the EEOC.
Reform rabbis can eat pork and cheeseburgers (meat and dairy).
