Countdown to Fortnight for Freedom



The U.S. bishops have called for a Fortnight for Freedom, a two-week period of prayer and action, to address many current challenges to religious liberty, including the August 1, 2013 deadline for religious organizations to comply with the HHS mandate;  Supreme Court rulings that could redefine marriage in June, and religious liberty concerns in areas such as immigration and humanitarian services.

In the Spotlight...

Efforts to redefine marriage are harming our religious liberties:
In Vermont, Catholic owners of a bed and breakfast settled a discrimination lawsuit, requiring the owners to pay massive fines in civil penalties and to charitable trust. Upon settling the lawsuit, the owners of the bed and breakfast said, "But no one can force us to abandon our deeply held beliefs about marriage."
