The Justice Department on Friday issued a statement of interest in support of the Archdiocese of Indianapolis in its ongoing dispute with a former Catholic school teacher who alleges he was wrongfully terminated because he was in a same-sex marriage. The United States has a “substantial interest in religious liberty,” the Justice Department says.
It was not immediately clear how binding the DOJ’s statement is, or what impact it will have on Payne-Elliott’s suit.
