Bishop Latino has promised to make a statement concerning
the violation of the First Amendment concerning the President's Healthcare mandate. The Diocesan Facebook page reads:
Bishop Joseph Latino is currently in Italy but shares his deep concern and dismay over the HHS situation. He is again sending his concerns to Washington and urges all in the diocese to do so too.
Visit www.usccb.org to learn how you can use your Catholic voice to express your concerns as well.

UPDATE 2-8-12:
The Bishop has written a statement to be read by all priests this weekend. For those in missions or churches without a priest, I would suppose they will hear the same message from their ministers as well.
