A very special message from CatholicVote.org:
 |
The Little Sisters of the Poor are being targeted again. They’ve faced similar legal challenges before and won. But every hour spent in court is an hour stolen from the work God has called them to do.
In yet another blow to religious freedom, a federal judge in Pennsylvania has ruled against the Little Sisters and the 2017 Trump administration rule allowing religious exemptions to an Obama-era contraceptive mandate.
So, back to court they must go.
The judge, by the way, was appointed by the Obama administration, which forced the Little Sisters into years of litigation and ended up with the administration losing when a 2020 Supreme Court decision confirmed the Sisters’ exemption.
Why are we rehashing a situation the Supreme Court ruled on five years ago?
States like Pennsylvania and New Jersey have remained obstinate in opposing the exemption since it was first issued. Technicalities around the scope of the aforementioned Supreme Court decision are being used by an activist judge to once again distract the Little Sisters from their mission to care for the elderly poor. |

This is grandstanding, plain and simple: another attempt to score political points while trampling Constitutional religious freedoms. It also continues the tiresome trend of federal judges issuing nationwide rulings intended to disrupt Trump administration policies like the one that granted the exemption in the first place.
As America approaches its 250th anniversary, we must stand together as patriotic Catholics to defend the freedoms our founders intended and our faith demands. Freedoms like the one the Little Sisters of the Poor are trying to preserve. Please, pray for them and for the conversion of hearts among those who believe they are doing good by taking these faithful women to court.
Go forward bravely, |
