最高法院规定天主教慈善组织可援引宗教自由为由,选择退出国家失业方案。 Supreme Court rules Catholic Charities can opt out of state unemployment program, citing religious freedom.

最高法院一致裁定,威斯康辛州的天主教慈善组织可以选择不参加国家失业补偿方案,指出政府有义务保持宗教间的中立。 The Supreme Court unanimously ruled that Catholic Charities in Wisconsin can opt out of the state's unemployment compensation program, citing the government's obligation to maintain neutrality between religions. 这一决定由索尼娅·索托马约尔法官撰写,可能导致许多组织离开其他46个州的类似州方案,有可能影响联邦州失业补偿制度的稳定。 The decision, written by Justice Sonia Sotomayor, could lead to many organizations leaving similar state programs across 46 other states, potentially affecting the stability of the federal-state unemployment compensation system. 天主教慈善社辩称,其履行教会福音的使命使其有权享有宗教豁免。 Catholic Charities argued that its mission to fulfill the church's gospel entitled it to a religious exemption.
