PASTOR’S COLUMN
Dear Parishioners,
During this Fortnight of Freedom for Religious Freedom some
people have found the Catholic Church’s objection to the HHS
Mandate by the federal government troubling. They cannot
understand the fuss over the government’s Affordable Care
Act and the coverage of contraception and abortifacient drugs.
The government, they argue, cannot bow down to every religious organization or faith and cater to their own tastes and
moral objections. There is a simple answer they say and it is if
a Catholic organization covers these objectionable drugs and
procedures then simply do not take them.
The problem with this argument is this: It lacks an understanding of the history of this debate and an oversimplification
of a very serious moral issue. In 2012, the Obama administration said it would respect conscience rights and would not
mandate abortion coverage. The United States Conference of
Catholic Bishops (USCCB) was encouraged, but very quickly
it became apparent that Obama’s pledge was empty; the
USCCB refused to support any legislation that might jeopardize conscience rights or mandate abortion coverage. The bill
passed, over the objection of the bishops, and then came the
directive of Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS)
Kathleen Sebelius ordering religious institutions like hospitals
and universities to provide coverage for abortifacients, contraception and sterilization. On January 20, 2012 Sebelius said
that only churches would qualify for an exemption from paying for these services (even then they had to apply for an exemption); all other religious institutions, like hospitals and
universities, would have to comply. The latter would be punished because they do not discriminate insofar as they hire and
serve both Catholics and non-Catholics.
Then the Obama administration tried to come up with a compromise. As a compromise, HHS had allowed for-profit entities not previously exempted from the mandate to fill out a
form and send it to a third party who then provides contraceptives, including those believed to be abortion-inducing. "The
nonprofits can now directly inform the Department of Health
and Human Services of their religious objections," reported
The Washington Post. "HHS and the Labor Department will
then coordinate contraception coverage with insurers and third
party administrators. The nonprofits still have the option to
notify a third party directly."
Many plaintiffs against HHS' "compromise" or
“accommodation” have argued that filling out the form and
sending it to a third party who then provides the contraceptives
continues to be a violation of their religious beliefs. Consider
the case of the Little Sisters of the Poor.
The accommodation allows religiously affiliated employers
who provide notification of their objections to meeting the
requirements of the HHS mandate to secure insurance for their
employees that excludes the objectionable products and services. The government then requires the insurance companies
to notify the workers that they will get free contraceptive
coverage anyway, through a special arrangement directly
with the insurer. The result is therefore exactly the same as if
the Little Sisters purchased insurance compliant with the HHS
mandate. The employees get insurance coverage that pays for
100 percent of the cost of all contraception, including products
that act as abortifacients. Put another way, it is impossible for
the Little Sisters and the other plaintiffs in the case to offer
health insurance to their workers that does not result in full
coverage of all contraceptive products and services. This is the
fundamental problem with the administration’s accommodation — which really provides no accommodation at all. The
Little Sisters know, in advance of deciding to offer health insurance to their workers, that if they do so, it will necessarily
result in coverage of products and services that the Catholic
Church teaches are immoral to use. This is an impossible entanglement.
The Catholic Church is coming under increasing scrutiny by
the government because of its refusal to make concessions
with this accommodation. It puts religious organizations like
the Little Sisters of the Poor in an awkward and dangerous
moral position. The Church cannot materially cooperate in
any health plan that offers coverage for sterilization, abortifacient and contraceptive drugs. If it did, the Church would be
complicit in evil.
It’s easy to simplify this debate and tell Catholic employees
not to use their insurance policies for sterilization or contraception. But, the Church wants no part in any accommodation
or any link to something that supports very offensive medical
choices and drugs. The government needs to respect the conscience rights of our religious organizations.
For more information on this topic, I do suggest you visit the
U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishop’s website: http://
usccb.org and check the tab on “Issues and Actions.” There
you will find a page dedicated to Religious Liberty. Please
take time to read these articles to understand better why the
U.S. bishops are taking such a strong stand.

CONTINUACION...
En 1943, el Obispo de Leiria ordenó a Sor Lucía poner el tercer secreto de Fátima por escrito, pero ella no se sentía en
libertad de hacerlo hasta 1944. Fue puesto en un sobre lacrado en el que Sor Lucía escribió que no debía abrirse hasta
1960.
4. La tercera parte del secreto de Fátima fue leída por varios
Papas
El secreto se mantuvo con el Obispo de Leiria hasta 1957,
cuando fue solicitado (junto con copias de otros escritos de la
Hermana Lucía) por la Congregación para la Doctrina de la
Fe. Según el Cardenal Tarcisio Bertone, el secreto fue leído
por Juan XXIII y Pablo VI.
"Juan Pablo II, por su parte, pidió el sobre que contiene la
tercera parte del ‘secreto’ tras el intento de asesinato que sufrió el 13 de mayo 1981".
JUNE SAINT OF MERCY BLESSED
FRANZ JAEGERSTAETTER
Called to serve his country as a Nazi soldier, Franz eventually
refused, and this husband and father of three daughters
(Rosalie, Marie and Aloisia) was executed because of it. Challenged by his attorney that other Catholics were serving in the
army, Franz responded, “I can only act on my own conscience.
I do not judge anyone. I can only judge myself.” In his homily
at the beatification Mass, Cardinal José Saraiva Martins
quoted Giorgio La Pira, who wrote: “The holiness of our century will have this characteristic: It will be a holiness of laypeople. We encounter on the streets those who within 50 years
may be on the altars–along the streets, in factories, in parliament and in university classrooms.”

Después de leer el secreto, el Santo Padre se dio cuenta de la

de una madre que guió la trayectoria de la bala”, detalló. Fue
este Papa quien decidió publicarlo en el año 2000.
