I believe contract law applies across the board. Do secular schools have contracts where teachers can be fired for having sex out of wedlock? Can a secular school fire a teacher for cohabitating.
THAT is my means test, if the Church wishes to engage in secular enterprizes, hospitals, general education schools they conform with secular world.
What amazes me is the idea ANY Church, much less a Catholic one fails the Jesus test. Jesus didn't cast out the sinner, the prositute, the leper.
I'm not an apologist for any Church, but did this institution cast her out? Or did they simply hold her to the terms of her contract? And yes, a Catholic school has the right to discriminate in its hiring based on the teachings of the Church, whether you like it or not - this right is constitutionally based and is affirmed in the Civil Rights Act passed into law and signed by President Johnson.
