The American bishops...

...have issued an important statement about freedom and the future, in the light of the current pressure from officialdom in the USA to force Church organisations to fund abortion and contraception for their employees...

Relevant quote in their statement comes from the Holy Father:

"In the context of society, there is only one thing which the Church quite clearly demands: the freedom to proclaim the Gospel in its entirety, even when it runs counter to the world, even when it goes against the tide.  In so doing, she defends treasures of which she is merely the custodian, and values which she does not create but rather receives, to which she must remain faithful."
