Obama's Assault on Religious Freedom


The Obama Department of Justice is seeking to over turn the Ministerial Exception which states that religious groups can hire and fire clergy and others who work in a religious capacity based upon their religious beliefs without regard to Federal discrimination statutes. The Obama DOJ is now arguing that there should not be a Ministerial exception (in other words, Bishops might be able to be sued for refusing to ordain a woman to the priesthood because it is "sex discrimination.") Full story from the National Catholic Register.
