The Catholic faith motivates the Little Sisters to care for the elderly poor. It is simply unreasonable for government to demand that the Sisters violate their consciences and put a wall between their faith and their good works. This violates their integrity, their core freedom to define their ministry and mission. Let us hope - for the sake of all people of good will whose consciences could someday be called into question, should the government win - that the Little Sisters find favor with the Supreme Court on March 23.
