Supreme Court protects Catholic Charities' mission to serve
|
|
|
The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that 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. In Catholic Charities Bureau v. Wisconsin Labor & Industry Review Commission, the Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled last year that Catholic Charities’ ministry to the poor and needy was not “typical” religious activity. This meant that Catholic Charities could not join the Wisconsin Catholic Church’s unemployment compensation program but was required to pay into the state’s less efficient and more costly plan (Watch this video to learn more). Represented by Becket, Catholic Charities asked the Justices in March to protect its freedom to join the Church program.
