Show notes:
In the first segment, our panelists discuss the EEOC’s expanded definition of “sex-based harassment,” raising concerns about its implications for religious liberty in the workplace. With the inclusion of abortion, contraceptive usage, sexual orientation, and gender identity, questions arise regarding the expression of religious convictions and potential conflicts between protected characteristics.
In the second segment of the show, we delve into the case of Sisters of Life v. McDonald, where the Catholic religious community faces challenges from New York’s intrusive disclosure requirements targeting pregnancy centers. The Sisters seek assurances to protect their ministry and religious autonomy amidst increasing threats to life-affirming work following legal developments such as Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization.
About the Show: Faith & Politics is a show dedicated to discussing issues surrounding the intersection of Church, State and politics and the examination of whether you are allowing your faith to shape your politics or your politics starting to shape your faith.
