Why engineer sues the corporation for discriminating


Question: A religious corporation owned by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, the Mormon Church, discharges a building engineer from employment at the corporation because the engineer failed to qualify for a temple recommend. A temple recommend is a certificate that a person is a member of the Church and eligible to attend its temples. The building engineer job requirements are limited to designing, building, and maintaining the corporation's buildings. If the engineer sues the corporation for discriminating against him because he is non-Mormon in violation of Title VII, does § 702 shield the corporation from liability? Question options: a) Yes, because religious employers are free to discriminate because of religion even when the job in question does not have an obvious spiritual function. b) No, because religious employers are not free to discriminate because of religion even when the job in question does not have an obvious spiritual function. c) No, because religious institutions should not have the right to choose persons to work for it that share the religious beliefs of the institution in order for that institution's mission to be fulfilled. d) None of the above.
