You have a good point there about the job changing around Lilian Ladele, and to that extent I have some sympathy with her. However, the bishops are not proposing to change the law only to cover that fairly unusual situation, as I understand it, but rather wanting a general opt-out for anyone who finds that the duties of their job doesn't accord with their conscience. I suspect they haven't thought this one through.
And yes, there's no reason as far as I can see that this provision couldn't be used by a sincere racist to "opt out" of having to provide services to black customers/clients/students, etc.
