Supreme Court Ruling Exposes the Persecution of Faith by Secular Authorities
The EWTN News Staff Nation reports that on April 29, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously ruled in favor of First Choice Women’s Resource Centers, a faith-based pregnancy center in New Jersey, allowing it to challenge a state subpoena demanding the disclosure of donor information—including names, addresses, and places of employment—in federal court. The case, *First Choice Women’s Resource Centers, Inc. v. Davenport*, originated from a 2023 subpoena issued by New Jersey Attorney General Matthew J. Platkin, who claimed these centers might provide “false or misleading information about the safety and legality of abortion.” The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops argued in an amicus brief that such compelled disclosure violates constitutional religious freedom protections. While the ruling permits the challenge to proceed federally, this case reveals not merely a legal dispute but a deeper spiritual crisis: the systematic persecution of Catholic charitable works by a godless state apparatus, all while the institutional Church remains silent on the root cause—its own internal apostasy.
