Religious leaders and scholars resist Obama Mandate at Congressional Hearing

“Unilaterally redefining what it means to be religious”: Religious leaders and scholars express their resistance to Obama Mandate at Congressional Hearing | NRL News Today: Rabbi Meir Soloveichik, Director of the Straus Center for Torah and Western Thought, Yeshiva University, said:

In refusing to extend religious liberty beyond the parameters of what the administration chooses to deem religious conduct, the administration denies people of faith the ability to define their religious activity. Therefore, not only does the new regulation threaten religious liberty in the narrow sense, in requiring Catholic communities to violate their religious tenets, but also the administration impedes religious liberty by unilaterally redefining what it means to be religious.
