similarly catholic colleges and universities may be forced to accept as leaders those who openly disavow the catholic faith. or are hostile to the catholic faith. analogous situations have arisen in other schools but if we protest some religious liberty grounds we will be told yet again that we have no right to protest because we are not religious institutions. a current obama appointee to the eeoc recently wrote that when it came to or women's rights she was having a hard time coming up with any case in which religious liberty should win. we are already at a place where the establishment clause has shifted from a legitimate desire to keep the government from entangling itself in the internal affairs of a religious organization to a justification of anti-religious secularism of pushing a religion out of the public square and this threatens the people of all faiths. >> thank you dr. hendershott and our final speaker is dr. mantilla. >> thank you very much. according to the first amendment of the american constitution congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or pr

then the president of the university gave a statement protesting the new guidelines enforced catholic institutions to choose between following their faith or providing health coverage. in his statement he wrote by making the insurance coverage minatory we have violated the people of faith to practice their religious beliefs and they sued the federal government to say the mandate had a great threat to teach from the heart of the church. at that time franciscan was one of 12 lawsuits filed from other catholic colleges and universities now there are over 60 brought by family-owned businesses and by religious institutions but fortunately with those cases they have received early readings the vast majority have been awarded a temporary halt to the mandate that unfortunately many cases including the university case was dismissed without prejudice because the courts claim the religious institutions have not been injured by the mandate. but those of us to work on catholic campuses disagree. we already have been injured of the and just mandate because our constitutional right has been compromi
