"Help, Help - I'm being repressed by Canon Law!"

My father doesn't have much sympathy for such foolishness:

A spate of stories this summer (maybe the same few stories recycling themselves on slow news days) describes folks bringing wrongful termination actions against Catholic employers (usually schools). Today's features a man who claims he was terminated "for not getting an annulment." I doubt it.

I don't know who said exactly what to whom (that's what courts are there to sort out), but I do know this: there is no canon law that requires people to "get an annulment", so the failure to get an annulment can't be the basis for a termination. My guess is, though, it wasn't. [Read the rest.]

And neither do I. (And yes, it is a rather slow news day.)
