US Bishops speak on religious liberty

In the United States, the Catholic Bishops are holding their annual spring meeting in Atlanta, Georgia, where religious liberty is topping the agenda.

At the forefront of the bishops' efforts is the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' mandate that would force Catholic institutions to provide health insurance coverage to employees for procedures the Catholic Church opposes, including abortion-inducing drugs, artificial contraceptives and sterilizations.

The bishops are organizing a "Fortnight for Freedom," two weeks of rallies and prayer services on religious freedom from June 21 to July 4th.
