Supreme Court Eases Church Aid in Four Rulings
The Supreme Court limits direct church funding but allows other aid to religious schools. It upholds library, transportation and textbook support while striking down direct teacher subsidies in Pennsylvania and Rhode Island. The decision signals broader scope for government programs aiding religious institutions without excessive entanglement. Justice Douglas dissented, calling the ruling a radical shift from 1st Amendment history.

Bishops seek new routes after ruling against parochial aid plans
Catholic leaders lament the Supreme Court ruling striking down state aid plans for church schools in Pennsylvania and Rhode Island. They warn the parochial system faces “mortally threatened” finances but vow to keep schools open while exploring alternatives such as direct pupil grants and tax deductions. Officials cite 4.6 million students in 11,683 schools and ongoing staff shortages, and note other states test different aid methods amidst a broad debate over church-state funding.
