Secretary John Kerry Gets An Earful From The Vatican SecState Regarding The HHS Mandate

Last updated on: January 18, 2015 at 2:58 pm By Frank Weathers

The big headline was all about Pope Francis’s strong words regarding the horror of abortion. Let others be shocked that il Papa stands for the culture of life. The neat thing to me was that the comments were made to the envoys to the Holy See. Ambassadors will have a few things to report back to their respective Chief Executives, etc. The tidbit that stealthily stood out to me, though, was the mention of the 100 minute long meeting between U.S....

Dodging The Bigotry Bullet, U.S. News and World Report Hosts Sister Mary Ann Walsh

Last updated on: January 24, 2017 at 5:12 pm By Frank Weathers

Yesterday, longtime US News & World Report columnist Jamie Stiehm posted an anti-Catholic screed regarding the controversy stirred up by Justice Sotomayor’s stay protecting the Little Sisters of the Poor from the dictates of the HHS Mandate. Today, in what I reckon is a move to not show favoritism towards Ms. Stiehm’s skewed viewpoint, they have given Sister Mary Ann Walsh, Director of Media Relations at the USCCB, a forum as well.

Archbishop Lori To Congress: Let Our People Go

Last updated on: January 24, 2017 at 5:13 pm By Frank Weathers

Archbishop William Lori took to the pages of The Baltimore Sun yesterday in an effort to let the peoples’ representatives in the House and Senate, see, hear, and act now to stymie Caesar. Take a look. Pope Francis recently reaffirmed that religious freedom is “a fundamental human right” and warned against the impulse to “relegate [religions] to the enclosed precincts of churches, synagogues or mosques.” The freedom of religion cannot be reduced to the freedom of worship.

Because the Mandated HHS Rules Strike at the Heart of Freedom

Last updated on: January 18, 2015 at 3:02 pm By Frank Weathers

Originally, this post was published in mid-January, 2012. A few days later, the thoughts I read by John Courtney Murray, SJ, inspired me to draft the little petition that, with the help of 29,000+ folks, got the White House’s attention when they determined that the HSS Mandate was, for the Church, a “fait accompli.” Given Justice Sotomayor’s decision to block the Administration’s HHS Mandate toward’s The Little Sisters of the Poor, I’ve decided to dust this off and republish it....
