“Little Sisters of the Poor” Capitulate to Caesar: Religious Liberty Farce Masks Apostasy
The National Catholic Register (NCR) portal, an organ of the EWTN neo-conservative network, reports on the latest chapter in the fifteen-year legal saga of the “Little Sisters of the Poor” before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. The dispute concerns the HHS contraception mandate imposed under the Affordable Care Act (2011). The article frames the oral arguments of July 7, 2026, as a heroic defense of “religious freedom” by the sisters, supported by the Becket Fund and the Department of Justice under the current administration, against the attorneys general of Pennsylvania and New Jersey who seek to strip away federal exemptions. This juridical theater exposes the radical bankruptcy of the conciliar sect: it fights the enemies of God not with the Sword of the Spirit, but with the writs of Caesar, begging for “exemptions” from intrinsic evil under a Masonic statute (RFRA) that enshrines religious indifferentism as constitutional dogma.
