2012 Archbishop's Annual Appeal "
Making A Difference"
Back to the top
February 9, 2012 - Archdiocese addressed the Federal
edict on Health Care Insurance during a LIVE call-in program on WJMJ Radio
on Wednesday, February 8, 2012.
The Archdiocese of Hartford as well as dioceses
across the nation, and non-Catholic religious and non-religious
groups are vigorously opposing
the new federal health care insurance legislation, which will
require that all employers (with few exceptions) pay for health
coverage that covers sterilization, contraception, and medication
that induces abortion. Archbishop Henry J. Mansell and
Executive Director Michael Culhane of the Connecticut Catholic
Public Affairs Conference were live on the air providing
information, taking calls and answering questions on how the federal edict
violates our First Amendment right to freedom of religion during a
special edition of “In The After Glow” hosted by the Fr. John Gatzak.
Originally scheduled for 1 hour, the program ran 2 hours.
Read Cardinal Timothy M. Dolan's
Wall Street Journal
op-ed piece on Religious Freedom. Archbishop Mansell, as well
as all U.S. Catholic bishops, ask you to oppose
vigorously the new United States Health and Human Services mandate
on health insurance. In demanding payment by employers in
support of practices that run directly opposite to Catholic teaching
and practice, it violates the basic principle in our country of
freedom of religion. Your strong opposition to this edict will be
appreciated. Please contact your respective U.S. legislator
and ask them to intervene on behalf of religious freedom.
