Ongoing -- Archdiocese addresses the Federal
edict on Health Care Insurance
The Archdiocese of
Hartford and dioceses across the nation, as well as non-Catholic
religious and non-religious groups are vigorously opposing the new
federal health care insurance legislation, which will require that
all employers (with few exceptions) pay for health coverage that
covers sterilization, contraception, and medication that induces
abortion. Archbishop Mansell, as well as all U.S. Catholic bishops, asks you
to oppose the new United States Health and Human Services mandate on
health insurance. This legislation violates the basic principle in
our country of freedom of religion. Your resistance to this edict
will be appreciated. Please contact your respective U.S. legislator
and ask them to intervene on behalf of religious freedom.

information for your U.S. legislators.
