Supreme Court takes up Catholic preschool case

In a major new religious liberty showdown, the high court will decide if faith-based entities can be barred from public funding due to their admission policies.

St. Mary Catholic Parish and St. Bernadette Catholic Parish contend that Colorado's non-discrimination provisions unconstitutionally target their religious beliefs.

This case follows a series of recent conservative rulings that have expanded the rights of religious groups to participate in state programs.

The decision could have significant implications for the intersection of LGBTQ+ rights and religious exemptions nationwide.
