Regarding: "...USCCB just sent out this "Action Center" alert calling on President Trump to sign executive orders relating to religious liberty. "
- This action alert is appalling. It imputes that in order to work with civil government, or to use government monies anyone in the church or a agency self identifying with an agency must first stop professing their own faith; this not a true fact.
- No church, or any agency which by choice aligns itself with a church, should require that those who work for it, or that those who receive its charity should fit into a 'church's view of its religious liberty'.
- Were secular society and its civil government to yield to this we would then have one church saying to government -- if you make me use funds shared with the 'other church' then you are violating religious liberty because that other church is no church indeed. Or, worse, you can not approve this church be in 'my market area' because it offends our church's liberty.
