OK, generally Title 7 prohibits discrimination based upon religion. What Congress is doing here is putting an exception into Title 7 for religious organizations. I have no problem with this....if the Catholic Church or any other church wants to hire only people of it's specific religious backgrounds to carry out it's religious purposes, that's OK with me. It'd be really stupid to, say, force the catholic church to hire methodist ministers to conduct mass or face a lawsuit.
