Cultural Critic Decries a ‘Secularist Witch Hunt’

Last month, the Supreme Court issued a unanimous ruling that the U.S. government cannot fine the Little Sisters of the Poor for refusing to comply with the now-infamous HHS mandate. The court also ordered lower courts to work with the government to provide an alternative means of providing the services included in the mandate, but in a way that did not involve the participation of the Little Sisters.

It was a rare example of compromise-but that’s all the Little Sisters were seeking in this case so that they could go about their work of caring for the elderly and dying without government interference.
