With the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993, Congress prohibited “the federal government from substantially burdening a person’s exercise of religion unless it demonstrates that doing so both furthers a compelling governmental interest and represents the least restrictive means of furthering that interest.” But as the American tradition of religious freedom is overthrown for the American religion of political correctness, many Catholics in America are looking to our bishops for guidance. And it is often difficult to find the leadership so sorely wanted and needed.
In this ongoing theater marked too much by ineptitude, confusion, and lack of clarity, there is no better saint to look to for the inspiration to claim and cling to our religious freedoms than St. Anselm of Canterbury whose feast day is celebrated on April 21st.
