Answers will vary. Some students will say yes, the court is forcing a Catholic institution to violate Catholic beliefs. Other students will say no, Catholic Charities is not a church but a service organization and therefore subject to state laws governing California businesses. The central issue is how Catholic Charities should be classified.
