Wisconsin is seeking to deny a tax exemption not only to the CCB, but to all such religious and nonreligious organizations across the state.
Amid leftists’ ongoing judicial coup against the Trump administration, America’s propaganda media have fomented baseless fears that President Trump is going to “defy” or “ignore” a decision from the U.S. Supreme Court if it rules on a case in a way he doesn’t like. But if these so-called “defenders of democracy” are concerned about government officials “ignoring” court rulings as they claim, where is their outrage about Democrat-led Wisconsin’s apparent bid to sidestep SCOTUS in a prominent religious liberty decision issued earlier this year?
In June, the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously ruled in Catholic Charities Bureau, Inc. v. Wisconsin Labor and Industry Review Commission that the Wisconsin Supreme Court’s denial of tax-exempt status to the state-based Catholic Charities Bureau (CCB) violated its First Amendment rights. While seemingly a major victory for religious liberty, the Christian group’s “win” now appears to be in jeopardy.
In the months since SCOTUS remanded the case back to the Wisconsin courts to remedy the violation, the Badger State’s Democrat-led government has been seeking to deny the tax-exemption not only to the CCB, but to all such religious and nonreligious organizations across Wisconsin — a move the charity’s legal representation says “should raise some red flags.”
“This is an organization that’s trying to help people and trying to do it as efficiently as possible. They have limited resources. They want to use them well. You’d think the state would want to partner with that as opposed to targeting it,” Becket Fund for Religious Liberty Attorney Colten Stanberry told The Federalist.

“”Catholic Charities” is not a charity, it is an NGO puppet of the globalist great replacement operation.”
My first thought was the same - MORE POWER to Wisconsin if they’re taking on this human trafficking monster.
But it would not end with Catholic Charities losing tax exempt status. Wisconsin will target all claims of religious/charitable based exemptions.
Catholic Charities I a major supporter of illegals in our country. Any ruling against them is a positive.
[“”Catholic Charities” is not a charity, it is an NGO puppet of the globalist great replacement operation.”]
True
Given Catholic Charities’ part in enabling the illegal alien invasion and associate human trafficking, I’m not sure whom I should cheer for on this one.
Can they all lose?
If the tax exemption is removed across the board, what's the red flag, exactly?
If it's something that's not targeted, but is universal in effect, what case do they have?
Catholic Charities is an evil entity that has sucked millions, if not billions of taxpayer funds and used them to destroy city after city.
Badger State’s Democrat-led government
—
Republicans hold both the Assembly and the Senate - only the Governor’s office is run by a Democrat.
“Catholic Charities” has a large umbrella. I never donate to the national Catholic Charities. However, local Catholic Charities which are under the diocesan authorities are another matter. They are the charities that run local food banks, etc.
The article is not clear what the focus of the bill is about.
Im Catholic and I can tell you Catholic Charities is bad news.
They better leave the bingo hall alone or the entire trailer park will be in an uproar.
