Supreme Court grants cert in ministerial exception case

The US Supreme Court granted cert this morning in a case addressing the scope of the ministerial exception. Here is Howard Friedman's report. I am skeptical of the whole idea of this judicially created doctrine although I doubt whether the Court will consider the propriety of the exception. It seems, rather, that the focus will be on the scope of the exception. The Court doesn't need to abandon the exception to affirm the Sixth Circuit.
