Most of you are hopefully aware of the US Government’s recent decision to mandate employers and insurance companies to provide birth control and sterilization (including abortifacients) free of charge. This is an unprecedented violation of the freedom of conscience and religious liberty, particularly for Catholic institutions.
Fortunately, our bishops are speaking up, in particular Cardinal-designate Timothy Dolan. Below are resources to help you educate yourself on this important issue so that you can take appropriate action.
Don’t forget – prayer and sacrifice is the most important!
