HANCEVILLE, Alabama, February 9, 2012 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Lawyers for the Eternal Word Television Network (EWTN) say that the broadcasting network has taken the Obama administration to court over a mandate forcing Catholic employers to pay for birth control, sterilization, and abortifacient drugs.

The Becket Fund for Religious Liberty announced that it had filed suit Thursday morning on behalf of EWTN, considered the largest religious media network in the world.

“The federal government cannot force people to violate their religion like this,” said Mark Rienzi, Senior Counsel at the Becket Fund and a constitutional law professor at the Catholic University of America. “Mother Angelica founded EWTN to spread the teachings of the Catholic Church—not to betray them.”

You no doubt are a proponent of reparations; punishing all for the misdeeds of a few.

I agree with you AA. We are all being tarred with the same brush and It angers me and other Catholics who live by the tenets of our faith and never voted for Obozo!

At the same time we have to watch politicians, who call themselves Catholics, break every Commandment. Leaders of the church have become weak when they can't stand up and publicly excommunicate these people.

And - I'm not sure about the polls everyone quotes. We are all familiar with ‘polls’........./S
