INDIANAPOLIS (AP) – A federal magistrate has ordered a Roman Catholic diocese in northern Indiana to turn over a wide range of documents to a former diocesan teacher who claims she was fired for undergoing in vitro fertilization.

Emily Herx's gender and disability discrimination suit against the Diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend claims her teaching contract wasn't renewed after diocese officials learned she'd undergone in vitro fertilization, which violates Catholic doctrine.

Diocesan attorneys contend diocesan teachers are required by their contracts to abide by Catholic tenets.

But a magistrate ordered the diocese Monday to release a wide array of documents, including the names of all teachers employed from 2006 to June 2011 at the diocese's 41 schools who signed a teaching contract with a “morals clause” identical to the one Herx signed.
