Hundreds stand up for religious freedom—again
They were among the estimated 800 people who participated in the second religious freedom rally on the grounds of the Indiana Statehouse in Indianapolis on June 8. Right to Life of Indianapolis organized the city’s “Stand up for Religious Freedom” rally, which was repeated in nearly 160 cities across the country on the same day. It was the second such gathering held nationwide during the past 11 weeks in response to the mandate of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) that nearly all employer health plans must provide free contraceptive coverage.

For Greater Glory brings back memories, provides inspiration
“Viva Cristo Rey!” That rallying cry echoed across the grounds of the Indiana Statehouse during a June 8 gathering held there in support of religious freedom. Tim O’Donnell, grand knight of the St. John Vianney Council of the Knights of Columbus in Fishers, Ind., in the Lafayette Diocese, led the approximately 800 people at the event in shouting those words after speaking about For Greater Glory, a movie that premiered in the U.S. on June 1. It tells the story of Mexicans who took up arms to defend their religious freedom in the 1920s after the government there started a severe persecution of the Church. (Page 7)
