I’m not a Roman Catholic but I am a strong defender of religious freedom under the Constitution. Prohibiting Congressional actions like this is precisely what our Founding Fathers intended by the First Amendment.

What part of “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof” does this cabinet secretary not understand?

Rest assured that we Catholics appreciate your defense of religious freedom and we are prepared to defend yours.

I once had a Missouri Synod Lutheran man who was my client in his divorce case. At one court appearance, the judge was a sneering non-believer who was purposely antagonizing the client. It gave me the opportunity to tell the judge: It is an amazing situation where I, as a Catholic, am required to defend the faith of my client whose religious denomination was founded in protest against my own faith but I am proud to have had this opportunity to do so.

If I don't miss my guess, you and I share a firm belief that God has given to each of us the gift of free will.

May God bless you and yours.
