May 14, 2012 Dear Catholics of the Archdiocese of Chicago: Because public discussion of the Department of Health and Human Services’ interpretation of the requirements of the health care reform legislation will remain a matter of public debate, I would like to pinpoint the Catholic Bishops’ concerns. They are two: 1) government infringement on religious liberty; and 2) restrictions on freedom of conscience. 1) Religious liberty means that all religions are free to identify and control their own ministries, without interference from the government. The institutional names of our public ministries are well known; for example, there are Catholic universities (like Loyola, DePaul and others) and schools (like St. Ignatius, Marian, Fenwick and others). There are Catholic hospitals and health care centers (like Resurrection, St. Anthony’s, St. Bernard and others). There are Catholic social service agencies (like Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese) and child welfare institutions (like Misericordia, Mercy Home, Marillac House and many others). Under the HHS regulations, none of these institutions is Catholic. The government has unilaterally decided that it has the right to determine what is Catholic (or Jewish or Muslim) and what is not. Religious ministries are reduced to public services, with their identity changed by government edict. This is a novel intrusion of the government into the internal life of the Church and other religious organizations. It is a First Amendment issue and will eventually be decided by the courts. 2) Freedom of conscience means that neither an institution nor an individual should be coerced by the government into doing or paying for an action they believe to be immoral. Conscience had previously been protected in federal health care legislation by the Hyde, Church and Weldon amendments. These legal protections have been removed from the health care law, and freedom of conscience has been restricted. This is a policy issue and will probably be decided by either legislative or executive action. It will take time to decide these issues, and the public debate will be acrimonious. In an election year, it will be hard to avoid partisanship; but religious liberty and freedom of conscience are issues that should be bigger than politics. I hope these few comments are helpful to a better understanding of what is at stake in the disputed HHS mandate. Thank you for your life of faith in the Church and of faithful citizenship in our country. Sincerely yours in Christ, Francis Cardinal George, O.M.I. Archbishop of Chicago

14 de mayo de 2012

Queridos católicos de la Arquidiócesis de Chicago:

Debido a que la interpretación que el Departamento de Salud y Servicios Humanos ha hecho de los requisitos de la legislación de la reforma de salud seguirá siendo un tema de debate público, me gustaría señalar las preocupaciones que tenemos los Obispos Católicos. Son dos: 1) la violación a la libertad religiosa por parte del gobierno y 2) las restricciones a la libertad de conciencia.

1) La libertad religiosa significa que todas las religiones tienen la libertad de determinar y controlar a sus propios ministerios, sin interferencia del gobierno. Los nombres institucionales de nuestros ministerios públicos son bien conocidos, por ejemplo, hay universidades católicas (como la de Loyola, DePaul y otras) y escuelas (como St. Ignatius, Marian, Fenwick y otras). Hay hospitales católicos y centros de salud (como Resurrection, St. Anthony’s, St. Bernard y otros). Hay agencias católicas de servicios sociales (como Caridades Católicas de la Arquidiócesis) e instituciones de bienestar infantil (como Misericordia, Mercy Home, Marillac House y muchas otras). De acuerdo a los reglamentos del HHS (Departamento de Salud y Servicios Humanos, por sus siglas en inglés), ninguna de estas instituciones es católica. El gobierno ha decidido unilateralmente que tiene el derecho de determinar lo que es católico (o judío o musulmán) y lo que no lo es. Los ministerios religiosos son reducidos a meros servicios públicos, con su identidad cambiada por decreto gubernamental. Se trata de una intrusión novedosa del gobierno en la vida interna de la Iglesia y de otras organizaciones religiosas. Se trata de un tema que tiene que ver con la Primera Enmienda y, finalmente, será decidido por las cortes.

2) La libertad de conciencia significa que ni las instituciones ni los individuos deben ser obligados por el gobierno a hacer o pagar por una acción consideran inmoral. La conciencia había sido previamente protegida en la legislación federal de salud por las enmiendas de Hyde, Church y Weldon. Estas protecciones legales han sido eliminadas de la ley de salud y como consecuencia la libertad de conciencia se ha visto restringida. Esta es una cuestión de política y, probablemente, se decidirá por acciones legislativas o ejecutivas.

Se necesitará tiempo para decidir estas cuestiones y el debate público será áspero y acalorado. En un año electoral, será difícil evitar el partidismo, pero la libertad religiosa y la libertad de conciencia son temas que deberían ser más importantes que la política. Espero que estas pocas observaciones sean útiles para tener una mejor comprensión de lo que está en juego en el disputado mandato del HHS. Gracias por su vida de fe en la Iglesia y por su ciudadanía responsable en nuestro país.

Sinceramente suyo en Cristo: Cardenal Francis George, O.M.I. Arzobispo de Chicago
