The Catholic Association has released a 14-point "action plan" for those who want to participate in the "Fortnight for Freedom" religious liberty advocacy event from June 21-July 4.
"It is so critical that Catholics stand together in defense of religious freedom and to preserve Catholic and other religious institutions' and employers' rights and ability to serve the common good," association senior policy advisor Maureen Ferguson said June 19.
She said the mandate forces faith-based entities to comply with a rule that "so deeply violates our faith and conscience" or pay "crippling" fines.
Ashley McGuire, a senior fellow with The Catholic Association, said the activities are non-partisan.
