A guidance counselor at a Catholic high school lost her job after the school learned she was in a same sex “marriage” and sued under Title VII. The district court found the plaintiff’s suit was barred by the First Amendment’s ministerial exception. The plaintiff appealed.
RFI Position: The court of appeals should uphold the ruling of the district court. The plaintiff’s suit is barred by the ministerial exception and Title VII’s coreligionist exemption.
