Bishop Slattery's statement in response to HHS mandate To all the Clergy, Religious and Lay Faithful of the Diocese of Tulsa, Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ: These are dire times in which we live and dire times require that we not mince words but speak with authority when it comes to matters of faith, conscience and truth. I wish to join the Bishops of this country in expressing my fear that religious liberty in the United States is even now under attack from those elected officials whose duty it is to protect the inalienable right we have from God to worship Him and to defend the Constitution of the United States which guarantees that our right of conscience may neither be violated nor held in contempt. With the Bishops and with all right thinking Americans, I protest as strongly as I can the decision made by the Secretary for the Department of Health and Human Services on January 20 which will require every Catholic in the United States to violate his or her Christian conscience and support abortion, abortion-inducing drugs, unnatural chemical contraception and direct sterilization. |
