It is crucial to note that voting "yes" on Question 1 will not make religious institutions redefine what marriage means to them. The definition of marriage in a religious context is based on tradition and religious law. The separation of church and state make it clear that it is not up to the government to define what marriage is for religious institutions. What Question 1 will not do is infringe on that (or any) right of churches. What Question 1 will do is redefine the legal definition of marriage, a definition that will allow same-sex couples to have all the privileges and legal rights that come with a legal marriage, but that are not granted in a civil union.

This document proposes amendments to rules regarding coverage for certain preventive services under section 2713 of the Public Health Service Act, as added by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended, and incorporated into the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 and the Internal Revenue Code. Section 2713 of the Public Health Service Act requires coverage without cost sharing of certain preventive health services, including certain contraceptive services, in non-exempt, non-grandfathered group health plans and health insurance coverage. The proposed rules would amend the authorization to exempt group health plans established or maintained by certain religious employers (and group health insurance coverage provided in connection with such plans) with respect...

It is interesting what people believe, and will accept as a Religion. The Sociological definition is defined as follows: Religion is any set of coherent answers to the dilemmas of human existence that makes the world eaningful. Civilized man has to have some kinds of beliefs to hold a society together. Does this sound like what is taught in today's churches? Religion is a social institution that carries out important functions and gives meaning to those things not readily explaining the meaning of life. Religion also gives credence to a Societies moral, life and tries to explain the difference between good and evil. Theism means that the gods are separate from humans and from other things of earth. What is interesting is that in a modern world with its modern concepts of right and wrong...

President Obama's Justice Department is attacking freedom of religion. Yesterday, the Supreme Court heard arguments in the case of Hosanna-Tabor Church and School v. EEOC. Cheryl Perich taught elementary school and led chapel devotions at a small Lutheran school near Detroit but was replaced by a substitute after falling ill. She later sought to return to teaching but the church was concerned that she wouldn't be able to fulfill her duties. Negotiations turned sour; Ms. Perich threatened to sue and the church congregation voted to withdraw her "call" to the ministry, which made her ineligible for the job. She then charged discrimination under the Americans with Disabilities Act. The gist of the case is the definition of the "ministerial exemption." This is a customary practice recognize...

In a series of lawsuits filed across the country Monday, dozens of Roman Catholic archdiocese, schools and other organizations are seeking to block the recent Health and Human Services mandate that requires most employers to cover contraception in their health care plans. The rule has come under fire since it was announced in January, when Catholic organizations charged that the measure would force religious employers to violate their teachings prohibiting the use of birth control. The rule originally provided a religious exemption for churches, but not other religiously affiliated organizations.

This week my alma mater, the University of Notre Dame, was one of more than 40 plaintiffs to file suit against the Department of Health and Human Services regarding its mandate that private health insurance plans cover life-ending drugs and devices, including the abortion-inducing drug ella. Reflecting on the university's suit and the Obama administration's repeated failure to adequately address the antilife, anti-conscience problems in the mandate, I was reminded of a story that President Obama told Notre Dame's 2009 graduating class. In his address, Mr. Obama re counted that during his Senate campaign he received a letter from a doctor who objected to the inflammatory language on his campaign website "that said I would fight 'right-wing ideologues who want to take away a woman's right...

AT THE NATIONAL Prayer Breakfast last week, seeking theological underpinning for his drive to raise taxes on the rich, President Barack Obama invoked the highest possible authority. His policy, he testified "as a Christian," "coincides with Jesus' teaching that 'for unto whom much is given, much shall be required.' Now, I'm no theologian, but I'm fairly certain that neither Jesus nor his rabbinic forebears, when speaking of giving, meant some obligation to the state. You tithe the priest, not the tax man. The Judeo-Christian tradition commands personal generosity.
