Equality Act

Please see the information below, paraphrased from an action alert from the NCHLA (the lobbying arm of the US Bishops).

As Catholics, we believe that human beings are created in the image and likeness of God and that all deserve to be treated with respect and dignity, free from unjust discrimination. We also believe that we are created male and female, made for one another. This bodily reality is not discriminatory!

Act now to oppose the Equality Act to protect churches and schools, Catholic Charities, the unborn, Catholic health care workers, our religious freedom, the safety of single sex schools, colleges, dorms, etc and females in women’s sports! This is a far reaching, extreme act which will have disastrous implications for people of faith.
