Religious liberty is not only about our ability to go to Mass on Sunday. Without religious liberty properly understood, all Americans suffer, deprived of the essential contribution in education, health care, feeding the hungry, civil rights, and social services that religious Americans make every day. What is at stake is whether America will continue to have a free and robust civil society—or whether the state alone will determine who can contribute to the common good, and how they get to do it. Learn about this struggle during the Fortnight for Freedom, from June 21—the vigil of the Feasts of St. John Fisher and St. Thomas More—to July 4, Independence Day.
