If a religious body hires people of other faiths & serves people of other faiths or none with an eye toward serving the common good of society – the Federal Government is now saying – such a religious body isn’t “religious enough” to follow its own teachings. Let me add that this attempt to define religious organizations comes on the heels of the Hosanna – Tabor case in which the U.S. government’s Department of Justice said that a church had no more rights in choosing who its ministers would be than would a labor union or a social club had in hiring employees. The government’s view was unanimously rejected by the Supreme Court.
