Supreme Court Unanimously Backs Catholic Charities in Religious Liberty Win | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

In a major 9-0 decision, the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled in favor of the Catholic Charities Bureau in its battle with the State of Wisconsin over a tax exemption. The Court found that denying the exemption on the grounds that the organization’s work wasn’t “primarily religious” violated the First Amendment. Attorney Eric Rassbach, who argued the case, expressed strong approval, stating it was “absurd” to claim Catholic Charities wasn’t religious simply because it serves all people, regardless of faith. Mark Rienzi, President and CEO of the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, joins to share insight on today’s ruling and whether he was surprised by the outcome. He explains the kind of work Catholic Charities does in Wisconsin and how important the tax exemption is. Lastly, he offers insight into how this decision could impact other Catholic groups or faith-based charities. ------------- EWTN News Nightly airs on EWTN weekdays at 6pm & 9pm ET. ------------ Don't miss an episode of EWTN New Nightly.
