The U.S. House of Representatives has passed the Equality Act, an act which in many ways does the opposite of create true equality. Now it is even more urgent that you contact your U.S. Senators urging them to oppose this legislation. The Equality Act is well-intentioned but ultimately misguided. It discriminates against people of faith, threatens unborn life, and undermines the common good.

"The Catholic Church is the largest non-governmental provider of human services in the United States, helping millions of Americans in need through its parishes, schools, hospitals, shelters, legal clinics, food banks, and charities.  Our core beliefs about the dignity of the human person and the wisdom of God’s design motivate both our positions on marriage, life, and sexuality, and our call to serve those most in need and the common good.  By running roughshod over religious liberty, the Equality Act directly undermines the Church’s ability to fulfill that call."
