Little Sisters of the Poor Win at the Supreme Court

The Little Sisters of the Poor recently went to the Supreme Court of the United States again to defend their community against attempts to

force Catholic religious to cooperate with immoral activities, and again, the Supreme Court has recognized their right to religious freedom.

By a vote of 7-2, the Court ruled in favor of the Little Sisters.

Archbishop Thomas G. Wenski of Miami, chairman of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops’ (USCCB) Committee for Religious Liberty,

and Archbishop Joseph F. Naumann of Kansas City in Kansas, chairman of the Committee on Pro-Life Activities, have issued a statement

addressing the case:

“This is a saga that did not need to occur. Contraception is not health care, and the government should never have mandated that employ-

ers provide it in the first place. Yet even after it had, there were multiple opportunities for government officials to do the right thing and ex-

empt conscientious objectors. Time after time, administrators and attorneys refused to respect the rights of the Little Sisters of the Poor,

and the Catholic faith they exemplify, to operate in accordance with the truth about sex and the human person. Even after the federal gov-

ernment expanded religious exemptions to the HHS contraceptive mandate, Pennsylvania and other states chose to continue this attack

on conscience.

“The Little Sisters of the Poor is an international congregation that is committed to building a culture of life. They care for the elderly poor. They uphold human dignity. They follow the teachings of Jesus Christ and his Church. The government has no right to force a religious order to cooperate with evil. We welcome the Supreme Court’s decision. We hope it brings a close to this episode of government discrimi-nation against people of faith. Yet, considering the efforts we have seen to force compliance with this mandate, we must continue to be vigilant for religious freedom.”
