I don't think it will come to a shock to you that Catholic priest aren't performing gay marriages right now, so it's probably the latter part of that paragraph. Catholic's, as a way of professing their faith, partake in the Eucharist and through a process called transubstantiation believe they are eating the body of Christ. At least that's the Catholic Church's teaching.

I have no problem with an employee attending an institution that promotes religious faith. I only have a problem with institutions that deny entry based on the particular birth-traits of certain students.

They have the same stance as the Catholic Church. They aren't discriminating against homosexuals, they just don't want them to marry and have sex (just want to be clear this sentence was meant to be tongue in cheek, but also accurate). I see no difference between the TWU student and a Catholic who follows the Church's teachings, they both believe the same thing. I'm not saying those teachings/beliefs are right, but I don't think employers should be automatically throwing out resumes because they disagree with the person's religion.
I don't see any argument separating a Catholic University of Calgary alumni or a TWU Student. They are both freely part of an institution that has made known their stance on gay and premarital sex.
