    Supreme Court justices show support for church, in Gorsuch's 1st high-profile case

    In another major victory for the church, SCOTUS issues an interesting decision returning to them the right to receive public funds for a private, Christian school.

    Was Neil Gorsuch a factor? Probably not, because it was a 7 - 2 vote. But his presence on the countries HIGHEST court will mean more victories on conservative issues. Once again, Praise our Father in heaven as He still influences this world. Maranatha, come Lord Jesus, come!

    Do you like the SCOTUS decision regarding the right of private Christian schools to receive public funding, I.e., grants for physical plant repairs?

    I most certainly do like the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States in relation to private Christian schools receiving public funding for physical plan repairs.

    Yeah, and a 7-2 decision shows even a more liberal Justice sided for the church. That is interesting in itself.

    Keep in mind folks laws like the one in Missouri were passed in the late 1800s. The goal was to keep tax money from going to RCC parochial schools which were growing in response to "Protestant" public schools. Oregon went so far as to ban private elementary and secondary schools. Again, the law was aimed at RCC schools.
