The Catholic Culture website reports today (October 3, 2011) that Archbishop Timothy Dolan of New York -- citing recent actions taken by the Obama administration -- has announced that the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) is forming an Ad Hoc Committee for Religious Liberty.
"The basic right, in its many and varied applications for Christians and people of faith, is now increasingly and in unprecedented ways under assault in America," Archbishop Dolan -- the USCCB president -- said in a letter to his brother bishops.
Revealing that President Obama has not responded to private letters written by him, Archbishop Dolan stated that "I have offered to meet with the President to discuss these concerns and to impress upon him the dire nature of these actions by government."
Archbishop Dolan ended his letter to the bishops by emphasizing, "If we don't act now, the consequences will be grave."
