Unanimous Supreme Court Ruling SPANKS Government Officials for Act of Religious Persecution of Christians
In a unanimous decision, the U.S. Supreme Court delivered a thunderous rebuke to Wisconsin’s blatant discrimination against religious institutions—reminding the nation that the First Amendment is not optional. This isn’t just a legal victory for Catholic Charities; it’s a watershed moment for every faith-based organization that’s been sidelined, muzzled, or punished for living out its beliefs.
Rev. Jim Harden, who has been firebombed by ANTIFA, censored, and surveilled for his Christian witness, has long warned that government hostility toward religion doesn’t always kick down the church door—it often creeps in through tax codes, zoning laws, and bureaucratic red tape. This case proves him right. Wisconsin tried to declare that Catholic Charities wasn’t “religious enough” because it served non-Catholics and didn’t aggressively proselytize. That’s not just unconstitutional—it’s theological gatekeeping by the state.
As Harden sees it, this ruling reaffirms a crucial truth: Religious freedom isn’t a perk for the politically compliant. It’s a constitutional guarantee—whether you run a soup kitchen, a school, or a pregnancy center. And if the government can decide which beliefs are “valid,” then freedom of religion becomes freedom from religion.
With hate crimes against churches rising, DOJ crackdowns on pro-life ministries intensifying, and cultural contempt for Christians boiling over, Harden believes this ruling is a wake-up call. The Court has drawn a line in the sand. Now, the question is whether states like Wisconsin—and the Biden-era bureaucrats still embedded nationwide—will respect it.
