Is the Pope Catholic? Yes, but Wisconsin Rules This Catholic Charity Is Not ‘Primarily’ Religious | RealClearInvestigations
For over a century, the Catholic Charities Bureau of Superior, Wis., has aided people of all faiths: the developmentally disabled, seniors, and children, many of them low income. As Milwaukee Archbishop Jerome Listecki recently noted, since the time of Jesus Christ, the Church has had a mandate from Scripture to serve the poor.
The state of Wisconsin disagrees. Its labor division has ruled that the charity is not eligible for a religious exemption from contributing to the state s unemployment insurance system,/because it offers its services free of proselytizing, regardless of clients religious background. As a result, Wisconsin s Labor and Industry Review Commission determined it was essentially a secular organization, not operated for primarily religious purposes. /
