That video Kathryn linked to, of last night’s event at the Catholic Information Center, is a “must see.” It was an excellent panel discussion on the HHS mandate and will be of interest to anyone—Catholic or otherwise—with a concern for religious liberty.

The point is worth reiterating: This is not just a “Catholic Issue.” You will find nary a sectarian argument in the entire 86-plus minute video. Anyone interested in a serious discussion of the issue by a panel with unequaled expertise in the matter will find this video well worth their while.
