Nasty Party Trick Fails in Oklahoma: Candle in Catholic Hospital Chapel Still Burns

National Catholic Register, Andrea M. Picciotti-Bayer:

Federal bureaucrats were forced to admit their folly last week with the sneaky trick they attempted in their war against health-care providers who are motivated by their Catholic faith. In fact, it was so sneaky that they may find that it outrages even nonreligious members of the American public.

In the chapel of St. Francis Hospital in Tulsa, Oklahoma, a single candle is left burning day and night. It’s a Catholic chapel, and this is a sanctuary lamp. The candle is encased in a thick glass globe, encased in a second glass globe, covered by a bronze top that fits over the second globe, and rests in a bronze holder, which is affixed to the wall of hospital chapels. Report is here.
