Please read carefully the following message from our Bishop, Leonard P. Blair. It refers to a shocking violation of the right to freely practice our moral and religious beliefs. Please prayerfully consider your response: individual and organized prayer, fasting, sacrifices, letters, blogs, social media, etc. The issue is huge and represents a radical erosion of our rights to practice the Faith in this country. Additional information and links will be added as this story develops. |

 URGENT MESSAGE FROM BISHOP BLAIR:
CATHOLICS MUST ACT TO PROTECT
FREEDOMS OF CONSCIENCE, RELIGION
“On January 20, 2012, it was announced that the Obama Administration has refused to rescind its requirement that sterilization, abortifacients and contraception be included in virtually all health plans by 2013, without regard for religious belief or conscience.”
“For the United States this is an unprecedented attack on freedom of conscience and of religion. It prompts a troubling question as to just how far the heavy hand of government will go, despite protestations and assurances to the contrary, to impose what Pope Benedict has called ‘powerful new cultural currents which are not only directly opposed to core moral teachings of Judeo-Christian tradition, but increasingly hostile to Christianity as such.’

AGAINST HHS RULE; CALLS FOR ACTION
IN NEW WEB VIDEO LINKED TO USCCB SITE
WASHINGTON—Cardinal-designate Timothy Dolan of New York, president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), sharply criticized the decision by the Obama administration in which it “ordered almost every employer and insurer in the country to provide sterilization and contraceptives, including some abortion-inducing drugs, in their health plans.” He made the statement in a web video posted at: http://bcove.me/ob5itz9v
