Does “Religious Freedom” Have Its Limits?

The courts have been stretching the limits of “religious freedom” but they just hit a roadblock from the Supreme Court.

The United States Supreme Court has rejected a request from a Catholic charity to allow them to continue to discriminate against gay and lesbian couples. The Philadelphia adoption agency has said it will close down before abiding by the law.

In July, a federal judge rejected a claim from a Christian adoption and fostering service that their constitutional rights were violated by being forced to follow an anti-discrimination law. The agency appealed the decision to the Supreme Court asking for an injunction that would allow them to continue to discriminate.

“The city of Philadelphia’s vindictive conduct will lead to displaced children, empty homes, and the closure of a 100-year-old religious ministry,” the group’s petition to the court reads. “Emergency relief is necessary to prevent this harm.”

You got that? They want to discriminate against us and when they were told they could hide bigotry behind their religion they got all huffed and called it vindictive. So Catholic Social Services (CSS) decided to sue. They lost their case, appealed, lost again and asked the Supreme Court to hear the case and they declined

Only three justices thought the court should hear the case: conservative judges Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch.

I have to wonder what will happen when Justice Kennedy has been replaced by Kavanaugh on the bench?
