An Indiana court has dismissed a lawsuit filed against a Roman Catholic Archdiocese by a former private school teacher who was fired for being in a same-sex marriage.
Marion Superior Court Judge Lance D. Hamner issued an order Friday in favor of the Archdiocese of Indianapolis’ motion to dismiss a lawsuit by former teacher Joshua Payne-Elliot.
According to the order, the court concluded that there was a “lack of subject matter jurisdiction” and “failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted.”
Hands-on faith
Bobbing on the recent news tide has been a speech that Prime Minister Scott Morrison gave to the recent Australian Christian Churches Conference. Some initial reports gave prominence to the Pentecostal ritual of laying on of hands. The religious fervour in the speech and its stress on the importance of faith both for the Prime Minister’s public life and for Australian life were met with expressions of outrage and support on social media, with concern about whether recipients were consulted, with ritual declarations of the separation of church and state, and with some curiosity about the social attitudes associated with Pentecostal belief.
