Tell Mercy Health: Don't give in to anti-gay bishops.
Don't give in to anti-gay bishops. Everyone deserves health care
Message from Faithful America
In the age of Pope Francis, why are Catholic bishops trying to deny health care coverage to people just because they're gay?
One of the nation's largest Catholic hospital systems, Mercy Health, is considering extending health insurance benefits to their employees' same-sex spouses. The decision could set a powerful precedent for other Catholic employers.
But now a handful of right-wing bishops are lashing out at Mercy Health, claiming that extending health care benefits would be like "abandoning the faith when subjected to the cruelty and torture of the Roman Empire."
Mercy Health has rushed to clarify that it is "still exploring" its options, so we need to show just how many Christians support health care
access for all families, regardless of sexual orientation.
Tell Mercy Health: Don't give in to anti-gay bishops. Everyone deserves health care.
