Is the Supreme Court letting Catholics get away with discrimination?

Joe Heschmeyer, next.

Hello and welcome to Focus the Catholic Answers Podcast for living,

understanding and defending your Catholic faith.

I'm Psy Kellett, your host and our guest.

His Catholic Answers Apologist, Joe Heschmeyer, the author of Pope Peter and a bunch of other books.

And the one of the things about Joe is he's a Catholic Apologist, seminary trained,

married, father of at least one that I know of.

But he's also a lawyer.

And so this week was a good week to have a talk with Joe because the United States Supreme Court

in a decision called Fulton versus City of Philadelphia, in a nine to nothing decision,

which was actually kind of a surprise, I think, to almost everyone on earth.

In a unanimous decision, said that the City of Philadelphia could not, at least under the current

conditions, tell Catholic social services that they were out of the foster care business

because Catholic social services would not place children with gay couples.

So we asked Joe to give us a both illegal and a moral analysis of that decision.

And of our current situation, here's what Joe had to say.

Catholic Answers Apologist, Joe Heschmeyer, thank you for being with us.

And my pleasure.

People may not know this about you, but you are also a lawyer.

Yeah, although not practicing, I've, you know, I'm more spiritual than lawyer.

No, you said they're not practicing on this show.
