OLHR/St. Leo’s Faithful Citizenship Committee joins Bishop Libasci’s Plea for Actions of Conscience

Saturday, January 28th, 2012 by rpender

Bishop Peter A. Libasci has issued a letter to all of the Diocese of Manchester Faithful concerning the Obama Administration Healthcare mandate which implies that pregnancy when unwanted should be considered as a disease.  Bishops around the U.S. are responding strongly against this move to force people of conscience to financially support abortive measures through sterilization, contraception, and the morning after pill.
