Most Midwest Catholic Bishops Take a Firm Stand For Religious Liberty, Local Bishop, Well Maybe Not So Much

This editor has done a comparison of responses by Roman Catholic Bishops from Midwest provinces to the Obama Administration’s diktat requiring organizations employing or providing services to people not exclusively of their faith belief to include funding of contraceptives, sterilizations and abortifacients in their employee health insurance plans.  The requirement affects all employers regardless of their moral religious or philosophical objection to such practices including organizations sponsored by religious bodies opposed to such practices. The rule certainly affects Catholic hospitals schools and other affiliated institutions throughout this area.  The now final published rule is an assault on the Constitution and religious freedoms. The matter is extremely serious in all of its ramifications.
