Aye Lydia. Over at American Papist I made the point that this is on the verge of becoming a modern version of the Test Acts. To wit: anyone can go to a business or public office, browbeat an employee on his beliefs, and then have them forced out if they don't like the answer.

Wow. He actually wd. have in my opinion a realistic religious discrimination case, especially given that he specifically referred to his religious views in giving his opinion. He was fired for expressing his religious views in response to repeated hassling from a fellow employee.

I’m not a fan of anti-discrimination laws generally. If some clothing store wants to turn itself into a religious establishment based on the worship of sexual perversion, requiring religious uniformity among its workers, I suppose that’s their business. But the appalling hypocrisy, the pretense of neutrality, is a huge problem and frightening. _He_ was forcing his opinions on others??? You’ve gotta be kidding. She wouldn’t let him alone. And of course we know how this all originated by way of, first, “anti-discrimination” laws concerning homosexuality, with the attendant worry about a “hostile work environment,” followed by homosexual “marriage,” and now we have an overtly hostile work environment and outright firing for Christians pressured into “incriminating” themselves by expressing their moral views.

Scary.

He’ll need a good lawyer – I hope Alliance Defense Fund or Thomas More Law Center help him out.

Comment on Hoax alert–Vatican condemns Halloween by Lydia

I like this part:

“[N]o one expects to have to infuse the Independence Day barbecue and fireworks ritual with a narrative about how Independence Day is a foreshadowing of our independence from sin, and the fireworks are reminders of the brevity of life and how all that is beautiful eventually becomes ash, and the barbecue is an example of hope, because we sure hope the guy in charge of the grill is using a meat thermometer instead of just guessing when the food is done…”

Comment on Someone tell me–why is the Vatican on a witch-hunt among women religious orders? by Clinton

The bland stonewalling by Quinn’s superior, “prioress”
Mulcahey, does raise a question: just what would
it take for one of the Sinsinawa Dominicans to be
disciplined by her “leadership team”?

I have the feeling a sister could be in trouble if she were
caught praying the Office, or refusing to contribute to
the next Call to Action fundraiser.

But seriously, since this scandal doesn’t elicit shock and
horror from Quinn’s congregation, then what the hell
will?

Thank you to all the Sinsinawa Dominicans for demonstrating
for all to see that the upcoming Apostolic Visitation is not
only necessary, but years overdue. This is probably the only
true service for the Church that decadent congregation has
done in decades. Thanks, ladies. Really. Thanks.

Hey, I know: You could come to W4 and make a negative comment about the Dominicans, and then maybe an annoying commentator we have over there who got his knickers in a knot because someone made a negative comment about the Jesuits might get so angry that he would leave.

I saw that sad exchange. Discussion-killing by overqualification. Betting that theological nonsense is being spouted by a Jesuit is no more controversial than betting on red or black on the roulette table as opposed to one of the individual 36 numbers.

But that’s one pool I’m staying out of.
