LINCOLN, November 12, 2012 (LifeSiteNews.com) – The incoming bishop of Lincoln, Nebraska has thrown down the gauntlet to the Obama administration, pledging that the Catholic Church will not obey the administration’s HHS birth control mandate.
“The Catholic Church is not going to back down,” said Bishop James Conley, who currently serves as Denver Auxiliary Bishop. “We are never going to compromise our principles. We will defy it and face the consequences.”
Conley is set to replace Bishop Fabian Bruskewitz as Bishop of Lincoln on November 20.
