It is settled eclesiatical law that the church (and most churches) love the sinner but hate the sin. A good lawyer, or even a mediocre one could easily point out the conflict between the church teaching and the school rules since to infer homosexual activity is not necessarily reasonable. My point from the beginning of this conversation is that such a suit could be very interesting.

No he couldn't. And no it isn't ecclesiastical law that one would allow an open, unrepentant sinner to avoid the consequences of that sin. In this case it is the loss of position, wages and all benefits that stem from that employment.

The lawyers who brought the case to the Supreme Court where slapped down like the simpletons that they are. The Constitution trumps local statute.
