Conservative U.S. Supreme Court justices signaled sympathy on Monday toward a bid by two Catholic elementary schools in California to avoid discrimination lawsuits by former teachers in a case that could make it harder to hold religious institutions liable in employment disputes.

A ruling favoring of the Catholic schools could strip more than 300,000 lay teachers working in religious schools of employment law protections and could impact industries including nurses in Catholic hospitals, the plaintiffs said. In a 2012 ruling, the Supreme Court recognized the ministerial exception under the U.S. Constitution’s First Amendment guarantee of religious freedom. The exception, meant to prevent government interference with religion, restricts discrimination lawsuits by certain employees if they hold a ministerial role.

“I don’t see what standards a secular court would use to determine which of those is an important ... religious duty or function,” Thomas said.

6 Catholics .. (Gorsuch was raised catholic) and 3 Jews in a country that supposedly separates church and state. Secularity is the state of being separate from religion, or of not being exclusively allied with or against any particular religion.

Those schools are the worst offenders!

Afforded an indirect LICENCE to do wrong and IMMUNUTY from taking responsibility.

While preserving them to attack and sue non-religious entities.

Absurd

Then. Have the religious schools pay taxes. Why the special treatment?
