Show notes:
In the first segment, our panelists discuss the controversial School Chaplain Bill signed by Governor Ron DeSantis. This law allows volunteer chaplains in Florida schools but excludes the Satanic Temple, sparking debates on religious liberty and constitutional rights. The discussion will delve into the potential First Amendment battles and the broader implications for religious freedom in public institutions.
In the second segment of the show, we explore the court case Moyle v. United States and Idaho v. United States. These cases focus on the federal government’s reinterpretation of EMTALA to require hospital ERs to perform abortions, conflicting with state laws and religious beliefs. The discussion examines the tensions between federal mandates and state rights, particularly regarding religious healthcare providers.
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. What do you do when God and government come face to face?
