“Religious freedom is the first freedom.” The first amendment to the constitution affirms freedom of religion, not just freedom of “worship”, by stating that Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exer-cise thereof.” Our saint would surely understand that! St. Stanislaus became bishop of Krakow in 1072, a time when the Church was reforming itself, especially against the interference of the state. It is always the Church’s duty to speak out against evil and immorality. St. Stanislaus spoke out against the unjust wars and immorality of the Polish king, Boleslaus II. King Boleslaus repented, but reversed himself and eventually St. Stanislaus excommunicated him. Boleslaus was infuriated enough to kill St. Stani-slaus with his bare hands! We are not in danger of martyrdom for following Church teaching today in America. But there have been efforts to curtail our freedoms little by little. The previous admin-istration tried to define who was a minister in a religious school, but was defeated by the unanimous decision by the Supreme Court. That administration also tried to force companies to go against their religious beliefs by requiring them to provide certain contraceptives in their health plans. This attempt was defeated by a 5-4 Supreme Court decision in 2014. There are other situations that threaten our freedoms. As Catholics, we need to stand up against immorality and injustice wherever we see it. Freedom is not free. We must remain vigilant. It means the right to practice our faith in the public arena. St. Stanislaus would approve. Yours Truly, Mr. Tim Mueting
