U.S. Bishops on Health Care

What do they say?


PLEASE READ INSERT:

English       Español

On February 10, the Catholic bishops of the United States called for a renewed effort to change the HHS imposed mandate that violates conscience rights & religious liberty. The Administration's “accommodation” still forces objecting organizations and individuals to pay for “services” that violate their religious convictions.

• The original unjust rule has not been changed, but rather finalized.
• HHS has promised some kind of “accommodation,” but only after the election.
• The promised “accommodation”— even at its best — would still force our institutions to violate their beliefs.
• There's no exemption for objecting insurers, secular employers, for-profit religious employers, or individuals.

St. Isidore Parish website provides links to resource and background information from the Diocese of Sacramento, the USCCB, homilies, and videos to aid Catholics in fulfilling their responsibilities as Faithful Catholic Citizens as Governments challenge the Church's Rights of Conscience.
