I found this one to be an interesting read...
How Nondiscrimination Becomes Discrimination
BY Gerald J. Russello
May 4-10, 2008 Issue | Posted 4/29/08 at 2:34 PM
The traditional understanding of religious liberty protected free exercise; that is, religious institutions could freely act on their beliefs and the state would not interfere.
That central understanding of the American constitutional system no longer holds.
A recent state statute proposed in Colorado strikes directly at the heart of the free exercise of religion. The statute, called House Bill (HB) 1080, would prohibit “discrimination” in employment in institutions that receive government funding, and explicitly includes religious charities that receive government funds.
That means that the state may now require Catholic institutions to cease preferring hiring Catholics for roles concerning its mission, or any other function.

Catholics will need to learn to fly under the radar if we want to continue to do anything traditional.
Instead of large Catholic organizations, we will have to work alone or in small, informal groups.
The philosophy of homeschooling will have to be utilized in charities and other works. |
