Seventeen years later, a Spanish religion teacher named Resurrección Galera is back at her job, which she lost in 2001 after the Catholic Church refused to renew her contract because she had married a divorced man.

Hey, this is good news, right? The RCC "saw the light," so to speak? Pope Frank is changing things? The church realized that a good teacher is still good regardless of whom she marries?

On Monday Galera took up her post at a public school in Llanos de la Cañada, in Almería province, two years after the Supreme Court ruled that she had to be reinstated. In its decision, the court said that her dismissal “violated fundamental rights.”

Judges found that her marriage bore no relation to her work as a religion teacher, and that she could not be fired for having failed to follow the precepts of the Roman Catholic Church, which has control over the hiring of religion teachers in state schools.

Oh. Secular law had to force the RCC to do the right thing. I sense a recurring theme here.

The Diocese of Almería had appealed twice before the Constitutional Court in its bid to prevent Galera’s return, but on Monday it said in a release that it respects the courts’ decisions.

Apparently they couldn't waste any more church funds defending their bigotry. Aww.

Not about ability but how Pius they are. Can safely say they don't have the most qualified people because of how they exclude people.
