religion has been "in the WH" since the first brick was placed.

The only difference today is the media leads the way for the lemming-like public that seems unable to think for themselves without polarizing, compartmentalizing, classifying or labeling.

Those that would deny Freedom of Religion rights to the Catholic Church are Un-American, as are those who turn their backs on the Church's fight to retain their Constitutional Rights.

The Founder's fought to create a free nation for much more than to escape the Church of England. But, it was that experience that was the impetus to our First Amendment Rights of Freedom of Religion.

If you are fleeing religious persecution you should be firmly in the corner of the struggle of the Catholic Church to retain their rights to their beliefs without the interference of the Government.

If you are not, you don't understand the issue.

Does this also pertain to the Freedom of Religion rights of the Mormon Church, who had their beliefs in polygamy overturned by the US Supreme Court? Didn't they have the same Constitutional Rights to practice their religion under their beliefs?

That's a good question for another thread. Why don't you start it.

Thank you. What about Mormon's? Weren't their religious rights thwarted by the US Supreme Court that abolished their right to polygamy?

I guess some investigation into the Court's reasonings are in order then.

For those not familiar with what janmcn is talking about in the above post:

This link has a segment on the Mormon Church. Freedom of religion in the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A quick link is here-- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom...mons_1820-1890

The Freedom of Religion article mentions the case of Reynolds v. United States. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reynolds_v._United_States This case is about polygamy in the 1800s Mormon Church.
