The Bishops, the Sisters, and Religious Freedom

Anne

Supporters of the Leadership Council of the Women Religious Gather with signs saying "Support the Sisters"

BCRW Acting Director and Chair of the Barnard Religion Department Elizabeth Castellioffers her take on the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops‘s published stance on the Affordable Care Act:

Framing their opposition to the health care mandate in terms of religious freedom, it needs to be emphasized, is a strategic move that narrows the terrain significantly: to oppose the bishops’ opposition to the health care mandate requires one to take a position against religious freedom. Well played, bishops.

Castelli goes on to discuss the links between this statement and the Vatican’s call for reforms of the Leadership Conference of Women Religious. Read the entire post over at The Immanent Frame.
