Never before in our U.S. history has the Federal Government forced citizens to directly purchase what violates our religious beliefs. The issue here . . . is the survival of a cornerstone constitutionally protected freedom that ensures respect for conscience and religious liberty. -Cardinal Daniel DiNardo of Galveston-Houston
This latest erosion of our first freedom should make all Americans pause. When the government tampers with a freedom so fundamental to the life of our nation, one shudders to think what lies ahead.
-Cardinal-Designate Timothy M. Dolan
