Could you imagine if a Catholic institution was forced to hire a job applicant who didn't believe that marriage is between one man and one woman, or who did not believe men and women are biologically different?

Could you imagine a Catholic institution in Michigan could be held liable for discrimination if they did not hire that job applicant?

That is a scenario that could unfold if pending legislation before the Michigan Legislature is not amended to include explicit religious protections to safeguard Catholic and other faith-based organizations' freedom to serve according to their religious beliefs.

Legislation to amend the state's civil rights law is moving quickly and Michigan Catholic Conference staff continues to speak with lawmakers about the necessity for religious protections, though there is strong opposition from the legislation supporters against protecting religious organizations.
