Today the U.S. Supreme Court ruled unanimously Wisconsin cannot discriminate against Catholic Charities Bureau of the Diocese of Superior because of its religiously motivated care for the poor, the elderly, and the disabled. If you are covering this, would you please consider including reaction from The Catholic Association’s Ashley McGuire?
“Today’s unanimous victory at the Supreme Court sends a clear message that the government cannot use the tax code to bully faith-based organizations. The Catholic Church does not discriminate in who it serves. Rather the mission to serve all people, Catholic or not, is at the core of the Catholic faith that animates its social services to the poor. And those services are an essential force for good in America, where the Catholic Church is the largest provider of charitable, educational, and healthcare services to the poor. Today is win for all those who benefit and are uplifted by the Church’s charitable works.” Ashley McGuire is a Senior Fellow with The Catholic Association
