But in its infinite wisdom and compassion, the current administration has decided to revoke the bishops&#8217; grant money entirely rather than keep funding their charitable work. Now a federal judge has ruled against the bishops:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Although the nation\u2019s Catholic bishops said the ACLU lawsuit is \u201cwithout merit and an affront to religious liberty,\u201d U.S. District Court Judge Richard G. Stearns ruled on March 23 that the government\u2019s accommodation of the decision not to make abortion referrals is unconstitutional. Stearns, a Massachusetts judge, said the government violated the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment \u201cinsofar as they delegated authority to a religious organization to impose religiously based restrictions on the expenditure of taxpayer funds, and thereby impliedly endorsed the religious beliefs of the USCCB and the Catholic Church.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Stearns also said is not about forcing the bishops to violate their pro-life views but about \u201cthe limits of the government\u2019s ability to delegate to a religious institution the right to use taxpayer money to impose its beliefs on others (who may or may not share them).\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>As a matter of policy, HHS\u2019s decision is indefensible. It\u2019s disgusting enough when the government funds abortion directly, but to throw out <em>all<\/em> of an organization\u2019s charitable work, which is achieving the stated goal of helping sex-trafficking victims, simply because that organization&#8217;s members don\u2019t want to be complicit in abortion? For a moment, take abortion out of the equation and ask yourself if it makes sense to just throw the baby out with the bathwater. Ask yourself why every charity has to fit the exact same mold, rather than do its part in the unique ways it\u2019s best suited to. Ask yourself what HHS\u2019s real priority is: healing or abortion.<\/p>\n<p>As a matter of law, Judge Stearns\u2019 ruling borders on parody. For one thing, the bishops can\u2019t possibly be \u201cimposing\u201d their anti-abortion views on anyone simply because they have no authority to prohibit abortion. They won\u2019t refer women to abortion clinics, but that hardly keeps women from seeking them or punishes them for aborting.<\/p>\n<p>Further, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.law.cornell.edu\/constitution\/billofrights#amendmenti\">First Amendment<\/a> forbids Congress from \u201cestablish[ing] religion\u201d &#8211; from creating or endorsing an official national religion to which Americans would legally owe their allegiance and tax dollars &#8211; or abridging the \u201cfree exercise\u201d of religion. That\u2019s it. The bishops declining to fund abortion in their work in no way violated either requirement. Notre Dame law professor Richard Garnett <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nationalreview.com\/bench-memos\/294527\/very-bad-religious-freedom-opinion-Massachusetts-richard-garnett\">explains<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>This is the wooliest of wooly-headed reasoning. For starters, it would not violate the Establishment Clause for the government to decide its human-trafficking funds should not be used, by anyone, to pay for abortion- and contraception-related counseling. To understate the matter, the government is not required to subsidize or support abortions, and opposition to abortion is no more suspect because many religious believers oppose it than opposition to human trafficking is suspect because many religious believers oppose it.<\/p>\n<p>Next, it is not the case that the religion-inspired policies and practices of institutions that receive public funds somehow become, for constitutional purposes, the government\u2019s own policies. If Judge Stearns were right (and he certainly is not), then it is unconstitutional for a Catholic school that receives some special-education-related or school-lunch funding for low-income students to have morning chapel or First Communion classes.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>For all intents and purposes, Stearns\u2019 logic completely reverses the meaning of the First Amendment: what was meant to protect the faithful from government coercion instead <em>compels<\/em> them to violate their faith, lest <em>they<\/em> be blamed for violating the Amendment by choosing not to take certain actions!<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps most offensive, though, is the implication that denying abortion funding is impermissible because opposition to abortion is intrinsically theological. What nonsense &#8211; abortion is opposed because it\u2019s fatal to innocent babies and harmful to their mothers. That abortion <em>also<\/em> happens to violate Catholic doctrine is legally irrelevant. Or are laws against murder and theft unconstitutional for being motivated by the Ten Commandments?<\/p>\n<p>The White House\u2019s hostility to religious liberty is scary enough, but the fact that legal charlatans like Richard Stearns wield so much power over the people is downright terrifying. For the sake of Americans born and unborn alike, a widespread re-education in the <a href=\"http:\/\/teachingamericanhistory.org\/library\/index.asp?subcategory=71\">true principles<\/a> of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.law.cornell.edu\/constitution\/\">Constitution<\/a> is desperately overdue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As if we didn\u2019t have enough on our plate with the battle over forced contraception coverage, the Obama administration is currently embroiled in another religious fight, this time with the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops over federal aid money for sex-trafficking victims.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":54,"featured_media":14277,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false},"categories":[15],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Bogus church-state ruling defunds bishops&#039;
