The fictional tale I’m about tell is of two men. One, a Cardinal, intent on saving his people, deals with the loss of religious freedom through a new healthcare mandate. The other, a President, who was intent on saving his “legacy." I share this tale because of my deep concern about the US Government’s new Healthcare law requiring institutions of Faith to ignore their long-held religious beliefs. If the Government succeeds in this action, what comes next?
