Statement
regarding HHS
In union with the Catholic Bishops of the
United States, the Council of Major Superiors of Women Religious
joins with other citizens, Catholic and non-Catholic alike,
in calling upon our government to protect and defend the rights
and freedoms upon which our nation was founded. We believe
that our first and most fundamental freedom, the right to
religious liberty and freedom of conscience, is gravely violated
by the ruling announced on January 20th by the Department
of Health and Human Services. The accommodation announced
by President Obama on February 10th does not respect nor safeguard
our rights or the rights of others.
We join our bishops, other religious leaders and concerned
citizens in calling for the mandate to be rescinded and for
the broadening of a religious exemption. In love for our country,
we continue to pray for a renewed zeal for truth and for the
preservation of our God-given rights of life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness that are integral to our identity
as a nation. In His mysterious Providence, may God be at work
in this critical moment in our history to "make all things
new" (cf. Revelation 21:5).
