Five federal judges rebuke court: don’t tell the Little Sisters how to be Catholic

September 4, 2015, EWTN

Mark Renzi, senior counsel at the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty and lead counsel for the Little Sisters of the Poor, welcomed the action.

“These judges understand that courts and bureaucrats should not be telling nuns what the Catholic faith requires,” Renzi said Sept. 4. He said the five judges’ opinion offered “important support” for the Little Sisters’ appeal to the Supreme Court.

The Becket Fund characterized the five judges’ action as “almost unprecedented.”
