The Obama administration has been accused of telling Catholic military chaplains what they can and cannot say from their pulpits after the Army ordered Catholic chaplains not to read a letter to parishioners from their archbishop. Read more…
Never before in our U.S. history has the Federal Government forced citizens to directly purchase what violates our religious beliefs. The issue here . . . is the survival of a cornerstone constitutionally protected freedom that ensures respect for conscience and religious liberty. -Cardinal Daniel DiNardo of Galveston-Houston Read more…

Co-laborers,
We must all act together NOW. What is going on today is the greatest test of religious liberty we will have faced in our life time.
If the administration does not back down, religious liberty—as clearly articulated in the Constitution and in court cases—will be gravely impaired. And your organization, like mine, will face the question of civil disobedience. Read more…

I talked to a couple of people involved in the helping professions. These individuals were concerned that they might be marginalized within their professions for their Christian beliefs. I mentioned to at least one of them, that a group of Christian therapists is forming in CA to advocate for religious liberty in the counseling profession. They are called Therapists Embracing Religious Freedom, and their facebook page is here.
I just recieved this note from someone who heard me speak at last week’s Christian Worldview conference.
I am a kitchen designer and I had a client who is a lesbian. Unfortunately, I let it slip that I am a Christian. She said that she couldn’t let me design the warmest room in the house knowing that I would stop (through Prop 8 passage) a wedding from taking place in her home.
I am an independent contractor through a cabinet shop, but I hate to tell my associate this incident because I haven’t “come out of the close” at work that I am a Christian.
I believe that this client has every right to “discriminate” and say that she doesn’t want a Christian doing work for her. Unfortunately, the way the law is developing, this is a one way right. She has the right to choose who she wants working for her, but the kitchen designer, or florist, or photographer, has no right to say, “I prefer not to take this particular job.” The law in CA makes it unlawful discrimination for them to refuse work. But it is perfectly ok for a customer to say, in effect, “I don’t like your kind. Get out of my house.”
Why can’t we all just get along?
