won U.S. Supreme Court

Fulton v. City of Philadelphia

Fulton v. City of Philadelphia

Summary

The City of Philadelphia halted foster-care referrals to Catholic Social Services (CSS) because CSS wanted to operate in accordance with its religious convictions concerning marriage. This shut down its ability to place new foster children with loving families in Philadelphia. 

Thankfully, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled unanimously that the City can’t exclude CSS from serving the children and families in Philadelphia because of its religious beliefs.
