(CBN News) Religious freedom advocates are awaiting a major ruling from the Supreme Court this month. It hinges on LGBTQ advocates trying to force a faith-based foster agency to violate its religious beliefs.
The Supreme Court will decide the future of Philadelphia’s Catholic Social Services agency which is asking to follow the church’s teaching and not partner with same-sex or unmarried couples. It’s a high-stakes religious liberty fight.
Dr. Andrew Walker, a professor of ethics with the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, says, “What we are contending for in this case is that Catholic Social services have an equal right to participate in the public square—and the way they are serving in the public square is to serve the most needy among us—children without homes.”
