WSJ Op-Ed on Religious Freedom
Click here to read the January 25 Wall Street Journal Op-Ed on Religious Freedom by Cardinal-designate and USCCB President, Timothy Dolan. Here's an excerpt: "Last August, when the administration first proposed this nationwide mandate for contraception and sterilization coverage, it also proposed a "religious employer" exemption. But this was so narrow that it would apply only to religious organizations engaged primarily in serving people of the same religion. As Catholic Charities USA's president, the Rev. Larry Snyder, notes, even Jesus and His disciples would not qualify for the exemption in that case, because they were committed to serve those of other faiths."
