What this case amply demonstrates is the folly of Catholic colleges giving employment to people bitterly opposed to what the Church teaches.

What would become of the Notre Dame Theology Dept. if they were let go? Imagine the number of openings at SFU, BU, Georgetown, etc. etc.

Tom,

you’re right on. Time to cut the government loose. This is another point about the excess of government, imagine if ALL of our health funding was controlled by the government.

The Benedictines of Belmont Abbey, who run this college, also run Benedictine High School in Richmond, Va, where two of my sons have attended. I've noticed that while the monks are usually personally orthodox, they are far too indifferent about what kind of teachers they hire for their "Catholic" school. Perhaps those chickens are coming home to roost.

To lose is to give the Govt (with Obama's blessing) even more ammo to come after us for carrying out our mission, which they find so disagreeable.
