If the DeLaney's are not in communion with The Church, they may not have communion.

It is a sin.

It's a given the 7th Circuit is going to have a crack at it, and it might see the case differently. I've said this before, and it bears repeating. When I worked for the Illinois legislature many years ago, one of the most conservative legislators was very much opposed to voucher programs for private schools. She maintained, I believe convincingly, that a private religious school lost its religious exemption under Title VII once it started accepting public money to pay for students' tuition. If religious instruction is not part of a teacher's duty, then what's the point of having that clause in her contract? I've rarely met a Catholic who adheres to all of the church's dogma. The DeLaneys are Catholics. They brought this lawsuit, and they're pro abortion and pro same-sex marriage like a lot of Democrats who are Catholic. Does the church deny them communion? I don't think so.

She went to work for a religious organization and signed a contract with a morals clause under which she promised to uphold the church's religious teachings. She broke the contract and demands they retain her???

-Outrageous! If she didn't want to adhere to the contract, she should not have accepted employment with them. This matter should be thrown out of any courtroom on its face.

They need to end the vouchers. This case made it clear what the religious schools are not going to follow laws regarding public funding.

I have no doubt that the Deft's attorneys will spend another $500K
{or more) on appellate attorney fees, meanwhile judgment interest
will be accruing based on the federal formula. I'd bet that
Judge Miller doesn't get reversed
very often.
