USCCB Religious Liberty Statement and CDF Doctrinal Assessment of Women Religious


The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops has published a letter on religious freedom with special attention to the 1) HHS mandate for contraception, sterilization, and abortion-inducing drugs; 2) State immigration laws; 3) Altering Church structure and governance; 4) Christian students on college campuses; 5) Catholic foster care and adoption services; 6) Discrimination against church congregations; and 7) Discrimination against Catholic humanitarian services. Find it here.

Also, the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith has issued a Doctrinal Assessment (and overhaul) of the Leadership Conference of Women Religious leadership, which for years has been notorious for its radical opposition to church authority and discipline and Catholic doctrine in faith and morals.
