CATHOLIC HEALTH CARE

Increasingly, under the guise of civil liberties of women, Catholic civil liberties are being eroded. State agencies threaten to deny licenses to provide care, or resources to carry out that care because they object to the adherence of Catholic healthcare to its own Ethical and Religious Directives for Catholic Health Care. Actions have been threatened by those in state agencies that are beyond their legal mandate, and clearly discriminatory against religious beliefs. Our Catholicity is the last acceptable prejudice. Our right to deliver health care is being threatened, merely because we hold to our Catholic beliefs.
