Wuerl, Other Religious Leaders Send Letter to Obama | National Catholic Reporter

Wuerl, Other Religious Leaders Send Letter to Obama | National Catholic Reporter by MSW.  MGB: A rather mainstream letter.  It mentions the religious liberty rights of our citizens.  They did not mention the religious liberty rights of denominations to dictate to their employees based on religious dicta.  I am glad they did not try to lie with a straight face, as religious employers have no such right - even though the USCCB would love to revoke Griswold v. Connecticut and the right to privacy (which would also extend to Roe, consensual sodomy and marriage equality).  As for the religious rights of individuals not to pay for other people's contraception - the cost that they bear is so minor that the impact is too trivial for them to claim a relgious liberty right to not pay premiums (or taxes).  I do find it curious that A/B Lori (my provincial) did not sign the letter, but not surprising.  If we elected our own provincials he would still be in Connecticut.
