@prisonchaplain, this should make your day, yes?

Our Lady of Guadalupe School v. Morrissey-Berru (19-267)
The First Amendment’s Religion Clauses foreclose the adjudication of the employment-discrimination claims of Catholic school teachers Morrissey-Berru and Biel.
 
Little Sisters of the Poor Saints Peter and Paul Home v. Pennsylvania (19-431)
The Departments of Health and Human Services, Labor, and the Treasury had authority under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 to promulgate rules exempting employers with religious or moral objections from providing contraceptive coverage to their employees; and those rules satisfy the Administrative Procedure Act’s notice requirements.

YES!

I'm hoping this decision will filter down to Gordon College, which let a professor go for organizing an LGBT protest at the school, despite signing contracting that included her agreeing with and incorporating into instruction the Evangelical school's doctrines and core values. Lower courts have ruled that the college cannot treat its professors as ministers--the very stuff the Our Lady of Guadalupe School v. Morrissey-Berru addressed.
