In an effort to witness, enlighten, and inform visitors of Religious Freedom Walk 2012 blog, this page contains links to articles, websites, and writings which pertain to the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops and the history of and current events/status regarding the HHS MANDATE.
The Pilgrims of RFW 2012 are walking 100 miles in prayer and in penance, and, as witnesses, standing in protest, to the UNJUST LAW of the HHS MANDATE; which coerces and forces Catholic schools, hospitals, and other institutions to include and provide contraceptives, sterilization processes, and other products which have the potential to induce abortions, as part of their health care packages for students and employees.
The HHS MANDATE also forces students and employees to PURCHASE health care packages which contain these products and services.
The use of these products and services are in direct contradiction to the convictions, beliefs, and Teachings of the Catholic Church and all its members. Therefore, to have the government FORCE people of faith to provide and purchase such things is against the United States Constitution which protects each person's RIGHT to practice and express his/her chosen religious faith.
