In case you missed it, and I know I did, the network news shows this morning decided that Easter Sunday would be a great time to ask some questions that are facing voters this election year. Though I missed the first run of the following two shows, I caught them via the internet and share them with you here to help keep you up to date. Let the reruns begin.<\/p>\n

First up is Cardinal Timothy Dolan, who appeared on the CBS Sunday morning stalwart, Face the Nation<\/em>. He discuss the First Amendment rights of the faithful, though it\u2019s tough to do in the soundbite size time available to him. He tackles the idea that a \u201cwall of separation,\u201d which has risen to prominence in debates regarding the First Amendment, exists between churches and the state. Take a look,<\/p>\n

On a different network, Bishop William Lori also made an appearance this Easter morn. Bishop Lori was a guest on MSNBC\u2019s Meet the Press<\/em> hosted by David Gregory, along with a panel of other guests. The subject of the hour? Whether or not there is a \u201cwar on religion\u201d in America today. <\/p>\n

Bishop Lori, and the other guests, quickly turn to the issue of the day: the Administration\u2019s HHS Mandate. Bishop Lori notes that this isn\u2019t a theological fight, but a religious liberty issue, as our beliefs are no longer being \u201caccommodated\u201d by the government as they have been in the past. <\/p>\n

Whew! It was beat the clock at the end of the clip there. The thing to remember, and one that has been forgotten, is that the First Amendment was drafted with a purpose to thwart government power in the realm of religion ( as well as in the areas of speech, press, the right to assemble, etc.) It was not drafted to set up the Federal government as the arbiter of religion, or these other rights, in the lives of citizens. I\u2019ll share more on that particular notion in another post soon.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
