Special pleading and anti-Catholic discrimination by the Massachusetts Superior Court

As the NewBostonPost reported late last week, a Massachusetts Superior Court judge has ruled that Fontbonne Academy, a Catholic preparatory school, now has a legal duty to employ a man who identifies another man as his husband for employment purposes.

The Roman Catholic Church, like nearly all Protestant denominations, orthodox Jewish teaching, Sharia law, and every known civilization in the history of the world until the day before yesterday, understands marriage to be inherently the union of a man and a woman. The Sisters of Saint Joseph of Boston, who run Fontbonne Academy for the benefit of Boston's young girls and the greater community, share this view of marriage. As a matter of conscience, they understand themselves obligated not to act contrary to the truth about natural marriage.
