Catholic Charities Sues Michigan: Modernist Capitulation Disguised as Defense of Faith
EWTN News portal reports (June 27, 2026) that Catholic Charities of Ingham, Eaton & Clinton Counties has filed a federal lawsuit against Michigan state officials, alleging religious discrimination over the charity’s refusal to abandon Catholic teaching on abortion and marriage. The lawsuit claims the state “singled out and punished” the ministry for following the Church’s teachings. What is presented as a bold defense of Catholic identity is, upon examination, a manifestation of the very modernist captivity it purports to resist: an organization occupying the name “Catholic” while operating entirely within the framework of the post-conciliar conciliar sect, utilizing secular legal mechanisms to defend a “religious liberty” framework condemned by the pre-conciliar Magisterium, and utterly silent upon the supernatural mission of the true Church.
