Irene Lagan Here's the link to this week's Catholic Matters with Senator Rick Santorum on the Catholic vote, faith across America and other issues, along with writer and blogger Ashley McGuire and the Becket Fund's Mark Rienzi, who is also an associate professor of law at CUA's Columbus Law School. Ashley McGuire's articles and blog, Altcatholicah, have helped women understand what the Church teaches about birth control and why the Church opposes the use of artificial contraception, and the important difference between the two. We also spoke about the HHS Mandate and religious freedom, while Mark Rienzi gave us an update on the Becket Fund's religious liberty cases, the possible outcomes of the Supreme Court's decision on what is commonly called Obamacare, and what all of this means for Catholics - and others. The Becket Fund also has a petition cirulating to make known Catholics' objections to having HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebellius, who has spearheaded the HHS mandate in violation of religious liberty.
