(RNS) — Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia is never shy about voicing his strong, and strongly conservative, opinions about the role of religion in American society, and he has once again made headlines with what he called a "sermon" in which he said the U.S. Constitution can favor religion over "nonreligion."
In fact, Scalia told a gathering at a Catholic high school near New Orleans on Saturday (Jan. 2), "one of the reasons God has been good to us is that we have done him honor."
Washington D.C. (CNA/EWTN News) — On the cusp of 2016, the president of the U.S. Bishops Conference is calling for greater protection of pro-life professionals and organizations in the year ahead.
Archbishop Kurtz, who heads the Archdiocese of Louisville, Ky., lamented the absence of the Abortion Non-Discrimination Act (ANDA) in Congress' 2016 omnibus funding bill. He warned that the failure to include robust conscience protections against participation in abortion is a cause for grave concern.
