We are happy to share the following message from Michael Geer, President of the Pennsylvania Family Institute.
I am glad to bring you this breaking news – a unanimous U.S. Supreme Court ruling in the case Fulton v. City of Philadelphia that restores the right of Catholic Social Services to provide foster care and adoption services that align with its religious doctrine and convictions.
In 2018, city officials banned this charity from placing children for foster care and adoption services because of its refusal to place children with same-sex couples.
Our Independence Law Center filed an amicus (friend of the court) brief to the Supreme Court in this case on behalf of 15 Pennsylvania State Senators, detailing the history of religious liberty in Pennsylvania and America, and how the actions of Philadelphia violated those principles.
