Legislation that is garnering some
support from both sides of aisle and leading Catholic bishops was introduced recently
in Congress which would prevent the federal government from discriminating
against citizens and organizations —including The Cardinal Newman Society and
Catholic schools and colleges — that believe and act in support of
traditional marriage.
H.R. 3133, The Marriage and Religious
Freedom Act, was introduced by Rep. Raul Labrador of Idaho with more than 60
co-sponsors.
“Regardless of your ideology, we can
all agree about the importance of religious liberty in America,” he said,
according to Christian News. “Our bill will protect freedom of
conscience for those who believe marriage is the union of one man and one woman.”
Incidents abound where those who
believe and support traditional marriage face legal consequences for their
beliefs, especially Catholic schools, colleges and universities.
