Wisconsin’s Secular Onslaught Against Catholic Charity Reveals Deeper Apostasy
Catholic News Agency reports Wisconsin state authorities suffered judicial defeat in their persistent efforts to strip Catholic Charities Bureau (Diocese of Superior) of unemployment tax exemptions. After the U.S. Supreme Court’s June 2025 ruling that Wisconsin violated the First Amendment by denying the exemption, Attorney General Josh Kaul attempted to eliminate the religious exemption entirely in October 2025. The Wisconsin Supreme Court’s December 15 order definitively blocked this maneuver, enforcing compliance with the federal ruling. Becket Law hailed the decision as ending the state’s “crusade,” while Wisconsin Catholic Conference’s David Earleywine asserted Catholic charity’s inherently religious character.
