The ministerial exception is still the least bad option | National Catholic Reporter

When I was in college - at the College of the Holy Cross - every class began with a prayer and there was mandatory daily mass.  But non-Catholic teachers stood aside for that ritual.  And personal foibles (like the two faculty who were `roommates' ) were ignored.   Tolerance is a virtue that should fit into this calculus too.

The ministerial exception is still the least bad option | National Catholic Reporter
by Michael Sean Winters
***At the end of the day, the real trump card, no pun intended, is this: If the remedy for an injustice done to an employee at a religious institution is to entangle the federal government in the employment decisions of that religious institution, it is a remedy that is worse than the injustice. Let us be clear: Those who wish to overturn the ministerial exception or limit it extensively are asking that William Barr be empowered to involve himself in these decisions. That is not a hypothetical. He is the U.S. Attorney General, and you would be vesting his Justice Department with the ability to reach into our church. Is that really a good idea?

I have a better idea. The Catholic Church should follow its own teaching and allow its employees to unionize. In the collective bargaining process, they can introduce certain issues into the contract negotiations. As well, the Catholic Church should create a canonical process to hear cases like the two heard by the Supreme Court on Monday. It would keep the government out of it, allow for the redress of grievances and save a lot of money in legal fees! That said, if a principal, or a pastor or a bishop wants to be a jerk, the U.S. Constitution gives them the right to be a jerk, and no processes can prevent it. But, let's all agree to leave the government out of it.
