The Supreme Court on Monday rejected two cases involving the ouster of religious leaders, one brought by a church and the other by a private school.
The religious institutions had argued that the First Amendment’s jurisprudence and ministerial exemption, which bars legal claims brought by religious employees against a church, require courts to dismiss the lawsuits, leaving the internal dispute to the church.
Lower courts allowed his defamation suit against the church to proceed, opening up the discovery process to include aspects of the church’s internal work. The high court declined to do so. It would have taken four justices to vote in favor of hearing the disputes.
