Of course the Catholic religion sees child molestation as wrong. Some (apparently quite a few) went astray. Some covered up. Doesn't make it right. Doesn't change what the Catholic Church believes in. And has nothing to do with this Catholic Church choosing to follow the dictates of their religion and exercise their right to dismiss a teacher in their religious school who publicly goes against the Church's teachings.
The policy of the Catholic Church is to cover their own asses.
"The Supreme Court has sided unanimously with a church sued for firing an employee on religious grounds, issuing an opinion on Wednesday that religious employers can keep the government out of hiring and firing decisions."

So you equate a gay man marrying his partner with drunk drivers? I see.
Do you deny what I said is true? If he had been a drunk driver the church would have fired him and it would not be a news story. You think I am wrong? That's not quite "equating" - but nice try anyway.
No exemptions for religion should be allowed. If something is legal in this country it's legal, period. Cathloic institutions (not church, the business end of things..$$$$$$$) hire non Catholics and service non Catholics all the fracking time. People are waking up to the stupidity of it all now that it's being forced into the news. Religion doesn't know it yet but they are sealing their own doom.
