Year of Faith 2012-2013 LIFE MATTERS: OUR OBLIGATION TO PROTECT RELIGIOUS FREEDOM
October 6, 2013
Our Nation was founded on the principle that all people are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights. As the Declaration of Independence explains, these rights are not gifts from a civil government, but inherent and God-given components of our humanity. The Constitution proclaims that the very purpose of government is to secure the Blessings of these liberties for ourselves and our Posterity. To the Founders, foremost among these rights was the freedom of consciencethe freedom to hold, and live according to, ones religious principles. James Madison deemed this right the most sacred of all property, and wrote protection for religious exercise into our First Amendment. General George Washington so respected the rights of religious believers that he refused to force pacifist Quakers to fight in his army, though he desperately needed men in the fight for independence. Our Catholic Church defends the same conception of freedom, including in religious matters. Like our nations founding documents, the Church teaches that God gives people their natural rights. And like our Nations Founders, the Church views religious freedom for all peopleCatholics, Protestants, Jews, Muslims, Hindus, atheists, agnostics and everyone elseas an inherent human right. The Church teaches that faith is an act of free will, and therefore all people should be free to live by their own religious viewseven wrong religious viewsas long as the just requirements of public order are observed. Jesus did not force anyone to accept his message, and neither should anyone else. Both the Church and civil law therefore teach that the government generally should avoid forcing people to violate their religious beliefs. For example, by law our federal government can only force people to violate their religion in the rare instance when it has a truly compelling interest that can only be served by burdening the free exercise of their religion. Nor is this principle a partisan one: the federal religious liberty law was proposed by Senator Ted Kennedy, signed by President Bill Clinton, and passed the Senate with 97 votes. Thus on the issue of religious freedom, American Catholics need not wonder what to render to Caesar and what to render to God. Both authorities ask the exact same thing: vigilance in the protection of religious liberty for all. And both establish the same general rule that a just and tolerant society should not force people to violate their religion unless there is an exceedingly important reason to do so. Unfortunately, this broad commitment to religious freedom is increasingly under attack. In recent years, governments have taken a variety of steps designed to force religious people and institutions to give up their religious faith. For example, the federal government recently told the Supreme Court that it has the right to dictate to a church who should serve as its minister. State governments have tried to strip pharmacists of their licenses because of their religious obligations not to provide abortion-inducing drugs. In Massachusetts, Catholic Charities was forced to stop finding adoptive homes for foster children because it could not place children with same-sex partners. The federal government has asserted that religious individuals forfeit all their religious liberty rights when they open a business to earn a living. Legislation has been considered to force religious institutions to collect and report information about immigrants to whom they minister. Each of these measures is, in its own way, an attack on religious diversity, and an effort to use the coercive power of government to control or punish religious activities. When governments force people and institutions to give up their religious beliefs, everyone loses. The religious believers and institutions suffer because they are put to an impossible choice: give up your religion, or close your doors and stop earning a living or serving those in need. In a liberal and diverse nation, that type of ultimatum is almost never acceptable. The proper courseas George Washington demonstrated with the Quakersis to find ways to accommodate religious objections, so that people of all faiths are welcome. It is not only religious believers who suffer when religious liberty is trampled. The people served by religious individuals and institutions also suffer from these threats to religious liberty. Consider the experience when Illinois tried to force all pharmacists to sell abortion-inducing drugs. Although the state claimed the rule was needed because religious objectors were interfering with access to the drugs, it eventually had to admit that no one, ever, had been unable to get the drug because of a religious objector. But the law still had a very real impact on access to healthcareit caused at least one pharmacy to close, some pharmacists to leave the state, and presumably others not to join the professionall at a time when the state had a well-documented shortage of pharmacists. By targeting religious objectors and pursuing government-enforced conformity without exceptions, the state made health care less available for everyone. The same is true in the context of the HHS contraceptive/abortifacient mandate. Many religious people cannot in good conscience provide insurance coverage for abortion inducing drugs. Yet the government is pressuring these people with the threat of enormous finessometimes more than a million dollars each dayfor the sin of providing health coverage that excludes abortion drugs. As a society, we should not accept a governments decision to pressure people in this way to give up their religion. Particularly in troubled economic times, we should welcome and thank job creators, and we should work around religious differences rather than drive employers out of the public square. Our history attests to the great benefits we all reap when religious people and institutions are free to bring their religious values into the public square, as they did in the abolition movement, the Civil Rights movement, and the labor movement. Having all benefited from these blessings of religious liberty, we have a common duty as Catholics and Americans to consider what we can do to ensure that we secure those blessings not just to ourselves but also to our Posterity. Possibilities abound, such as educating ourselves and our families, contacting elected representatives, praying, voting, and talking to our neighbors about why religious freedom is worth protecting. In short, we must remember that our religious diversity is a strength, and that religious differences should be accepted and accommodated, not stamped out by the government.

Updated Standards
Dear Parish Volunteer, As of February 2013 the Diocesan Policy, Standards and Behaviors of Working with Minors has been updated. We must have every volunteer read and sign the Acknowledgement form that they received a copy of the policy. The Policy is lengthy and will consume a lot of paper and not to mention the cost to reprint the entire package for almost 400 volunteers. I ask that if you have access to the internet to please log on to our website, www.ctklombard.org/safeenvironment. On the right hand side under forms, you will find the updated policy. Underneath that is the Acknowledgement form. Print and sign the Acknowledgement form then return it to a staff member or directly to Eileen Maggiore. If you do not have access to the internet, I will have copies of the policy and the Acknowledgement form available in the narthex of the church by the water fountain. Eileen Maggiore, Pastoral Associate

A STEWARDSHIP MOMENT
From todays second reading, we are made to realize, like Timothy, that Christs call is meant for us all. Good stewards realize they have everything necessary to live for Christ. Stir up the fire that is already burning inside you. Another way to express this thought in the vocabulary of stewardship is, Use your gifts now! Serve the Lord now! Get involved now! God put the fire inside you but you have to stir up the flame! Let it burn! Everyone can give witness to Christs presence in the world, and most of us can do more than one thing for the Lord. How exactly do you stir into flame Gods unique gifts you hold within you?
