It's happening still. Curious, isn't it, that for generations Catholics who for whatever reason chose to be married at city hall rather than in a Catholic Church haven't been subjected to similar recriminations for having openly "flaunted" church law. Unless I'm mistaken, any marriage that is not approved by Holy Mother Church is considered illegitimate in the eyes of the Church and therefore, by definition, a "scandal," which is the one reason given for the termination of legally-married gay Catholic employees. I suppose the truth of the matter is that straights can "pass," just like they've been "passing" on contraception for generations. Everyone just turns a blind eye with a wink and a nod. Except when it comes to the gays - then it's time for the pink slips to come out.
