Archbishop Gustavo Garcia-Siller issues a letter protesting HHS Mandate.

Our beloved Archbishop the Most Rev Gustavo Garcia-Siller has issued a letter to the Catholics of the Archdiocese of San Antonio.  In the letter the archbishop forcefully protests the recent federal mandate requiring virtually all private health plans to include coverage for all FDA-approved prescription contraceptives, and female sterilization procedures.  In his letter, the archbishop writes, "The recent disturbing decision in Washington represents a real threat to all Americans’ right to religious freedom…We cannot be silent in the face of this unjust edict.” The archbishop also urges the faithful to “contact Congress in support of legislation that would reverse the Administration’s decision.” You can read the letter in English or Spanish, and you can learn more about this issue.
