Minnesota churches are allowed to discriminate based on sexual orientation

I should hope SO! And just who is it that's doing this "allowing?" A church doesn't need to consult anyone except the Almighty for its rules.

““I think he was in a very good position to challenge the termination because of the reason that was given, and that was marital status,” Clayton Halunen said Sunday, explaining that Minnesota churches are allowed to discriminate based on sexual orientation but not on marital status.”

He was going to lose. The Dogma of the Church trumps his own personal proclivity and that includes marriage.

For how long the Church can do this, I don’t know. It just depends on the wreckers in the judiciary and the willingness of our Bishops, and there are some courageous ones, to fight.

White called Moore his friend and the “voice of the church.”

I so dislike priests like this who turn over the mass to the "music directors", 999 times out of 1,000 it means blah sermons, so more time can be given over to a 10th rate organist and a 12th rate singer to give their interpretations of classic church hymns. It's worse than the way a lot of singers mangle the national anthem, but not quite as bad as the guitar masses of the 80's.
