Bishop David Zubik Responds to Revised Rule on Religious Freedom

Our attorneys are reviewing the Interim Final Rule issued by the Department of Health and Human Services.  We are thankful that it appears to be a significant step on the road to ensuring that the government cannot force religious institutions to violate the precepts that they teach. At the direction of the U.S. Supreme Court, we have been engaged with the government to try to reach a mutually acceptable resolution of our court case. It is my prayer that this latest rule will encourage a swift final resolution of this litigation that satisfies the concerns of all parties.
