Roman Catholic leaders filed lawsuits yesterday against the Obama administration’s mandate that employers provide birth control coverage for workers. They contend that the requirement violates religious freedom.

Many Christians do not agree with the Roman Catholic position on birth control. However, all believers must be concerned with the on-going assault on religious freedom.

The Obama administration is pushing an agenda that should be alarming to all Christians. We are being told that abortion and homosexual marriage must not merely be tolerated; they must be accepted by all and promoted in our domestic and foreign policies.

We must take a stand against these attacks on our religious freedoms. Thankfully, Roman Catholic leaders are doing just that. Among the plaintiffs in these lawsuits is the University of Notre Dame. Notre Dame president, the Rev. John Jenkins, said, “Although I do not question the good intentions and sincerity of all involved in these discussions, progress has not been encouraging.”

I agree with Rev. Jenkins that progress has not been encouraging. However, I fail to share his trust in the Obama administration’s good intentions and sincerity. How about you?

Proverbs 25:26 says, “Like a muddied spring or a polluted well is a righteous man who gives way to the wicked.” Let’s do what we can to clean up the water and preserve our religious freedoms.
