The anti-Christian Human Rights Campaign funded a meeting of dissident Catholics groups to strategize how to fight the Church over the firing of church employees who oppose Church teaching and practice.
Representatives from many organizations condemned by the Church attended the meeting in Chicago including pro-abortion group Catholics for Choice, and pro-gay groups New Ways Ministry and Dignity USA. The Democratic pressure group Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good also attended, as did the largely-failed grassroots reform group Call to Action.
In recent months, as same-sex marriage has been imposed by courts around the country, same-sex attracted Church employees have started to get married. As these “marriages” have become public, local parishes have begun to fire these employees, not for being same-sex attracted, but for publicly dissenting from Church teaching.
The “Church Worker Justice Strategy Session” was held at the Catholic Theological Union in Chicago. A representative of Call to Action told the Boston Globe’s Catholic website Crux that the group discussed “discrimination, at-will employment, morality clauses, and how we might build some power to push for just employment practices it the workplace.”
Archbishop Cordileone of San Francisco has come under severe attack for insisting that Church employees in his diocese adhere to Church teaching, including in their private lives.
It is generally reported that such employees are being fired for “being gay.” In fact, these people are...are only fired when it becomes publicly known that they have married a person of the same sex.
Conservative Catholic groups have mobilized to get Catholic Relief Services to fire a senior employee after it became known that he married a man and has also a very public campaigner against Church teaching on human sexuality.

The RCC should handle it the way Ronald Reagan handled the air traffic controllers.
No, they will, because since Muslims have so few numbers, they are an easy target. The left suddenly turns on anyone, crickets would chirp. Nobody would care if they declared someone protected one day and then declared them evil the next.
The people’s of Judea had the laws of God, they were accountable to them, and yes l, Sodom would rise to scream condemnation because it would not seem fair that a city of believers would go uncondemned while they were condemned.
Or rather that plenty of people are useful tools to Satanic causes.
Only fly in your version of the ointment is that this would be a glee, not a woe, to those Hebrew cities. They’d feel so smug and superior. Jesus is saying to that idea: NOT.
Indeed, hypocrisy was something Jesus was pretty strongly against.
According to what I have read, Benedict XVI made a huge course correction during his watch by revamping the interview process for prospective seminary students. In effect, the RCC began filtering out those prospects who were suspect homosexuals.
About 2+ years ago, a Polish RCC priest (sorry, can't recall the name or his official title) wrote a defining petiton to the Vatican powers regarding the "Homoheresy" within the Vatican curia. Benedict XVI supposedly passed this on to Francis. I haven't seen anything in the news to indicate that Francis has acted upon it.
