Continuing the slow news day for Catholics:<\/p>\n
Everyone knew the HHS Mandate was going to end up in the Supreme Court. Now it\u2019s happening.<\/p>\n
The Supreme Court agreed to hear a challenge to the controversial Health and Human Services mandate which requires organizations to provide insurance coverage for contraception, abortifacient, and sterilization to employees.<\/p>\n
The Obama administration appealed to the high court after the mandate got struck down by a federal appeals court in favor of Hobby Lobby, an Oklahoma City-based arts and crafts chain owned by a Christian family.<\/p>\n
Now, don\u2019t pretend to guess for one second that you know how the court will decide on this. We don\u2019t. Nobody does. I can hope. I can pray that religious liberty is spared for a few more years. But I have no idea. Who knows what John Roberts will say. I mean, Roberts doesn\u2019t even know what he\u2019s going to say. Sometimes I don\u2019t think he knows what he\u2019s saying as he\u2019s saying it.<\/p>\n
God bless all those who have fought the mandate in court. Keep praying folks. It\u2019s crunch time.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
