Religious Freedom at Stake in Spain
Imagine a government deciding which parts of a church are sacred. The altar, yes. The nave, no. The chapels, the dome, the atrium, the vestibule, and great bronze doors—no as well. The faithful may pray here, but not there, and only after passing through a state-run exhibition with a political and ideological message before entering. It might sound invented, but it is happening right now in Spain. … -

On America 250, Remember That True Freedom Is Built on Faith
Freedom is a word that is too easily thrown around. America was built on freedom. The colonists’ freedoms were being infringed upon, so they rose against Britain to get them back.
