“It is fundamental to our constitutional order that the government maintain ‘neutrality between religion and religion.’ There may be hard calls to make in policing that rule, but this is not one,” Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote in the Supreme Court’s opinion, which reversed a Wisconsin Supreme Court ruling against a group of Catholic nonprofits.

The Supreme Court has handed down a unanimous ruling in a religious rights case, finding a Catholic charity in Wisconsin can’t be required to pay unemployment taxes when other religious groups are exempt.

The U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday endorsed a bid by an arm of a Catholic diocese in Wisconsin for a religious exemption from the state's unemployment insurance tax in the latest ruling in which the justices took an expansive view of religious rights.
