Supreme Court justices from across the ideological spectrum expressed deep concern Monday about the denial of a state tax exemption for Catholic Charities on the grounds that the nonprofit is not “operated primarily for religious purposes.

The Supreme Court signaled Monday it is poised to side with Catholic Charities in a dispute over whether religiously affiliated groups are entitled to an exemption from certain state taxes, a decision that could expand the types of groups that would receive a break under the First Amendment.

The Supreme Court appears to be leaning toward a Catholic charitable organization pushing back against the state of Wisconsin in the latest religious rights case to come before the court.
