“We cannot–we will not–comply with this unjust law.”

Our bishop sent a letter to all of the parishes in the St. Nicholas Eparchy and asked that the content in it be announced in all of his churches. He stands with his fellow bishops in the USCCB in denouncing the Health and Human Services department’s decision to force all American employers–including Catholic hospitals, charities, schools, and small business owners–and employees to fund and use health insurance which provides and subsidizes contraceptives, abortifacients like ella and Plan B, and sterilizations.

Bp. Richard Stephen says, “We cannot–we will not–comply with this unjust law.” Please read his letter below and then act as he directs.
