Catholic Mission, Religious Freedom & LGBT Rights, Part II | National Catholic Reporter

Catholic Mission, Religious Freedom & LGBT Rights, Part II | National Catholic Reporter by MSW. MGB: Part II was less about hiring and more about Councilmember David Grasso of the District of Columbia.  I wonder if, on the advice of the Attorney General, Mayor Bowser will veto it.  Mayor Grey, who is the former head of Covenant House in DC, almost certainly would.  That Hosanna Tabor invalidates the thing (unless the AG enters a consent decree to stop any lawsuit) was obvious from the initial read - but that talks only about ministerial employees which include teachers but not Catholic Charities and Catholic Hospital workers.  I would like to discuss more about hiring them, although I suspect most such agencies do not discriminate - even if the information is volunteered.  As for the closing arguments regarding the Archbishop of San Francisco, do not get me started.  Hierarchs like than are why there was a certain wisdom in Augustine's day in how they eleced bishops (who were really pastors).  In that scheme, these issues would not be issues for very long.
