The United States Conference of
Catholic Bishops (USCCB) has called for a “Fortnight
for Freedom,” a 14-day period of prayer, education and action in support of religious freedom, from June 21 to July 4. The
event begins with the vigil of the Feasts of St. John Fisher and St. Thomas
More and ends with Independence Day. This special period is intended to
emphasize both our Christian and American heritage of liberty.
A variety of links are provided
below as resources to learn more about the Church’s teaching on religious
liberty and to observe the “Fortnight
for Freedom.”
