#FlashbackFriday: Wednesday was a remarkable day for the Little Sisters of the Poor. Even after 7 years and 2 trips to #SCOTUS, the Little Sisters (and I) know we live in a world where #SCOTUS will protect their religious exemption & their mission of caring for the elderly poor.
Because we couldn’t physically gather at #SCOTUS this year, @BECKETlaw and @WomenReligious hosted a virtual rally that featured members of Congress, faith leaders, and non-profit organizations. Check out these highlights ⬇️ (2/6)
Catholic nuns (not Little Sisters) led thousands in a rosary in front of a rainy #SCOTUS. It was inspiring to witness these selfless women pray for our nation, joined virtually by even more nuns! Little Sisters of the Poor from CA➡️MD prayed from #sociallydistant chapels. (3/6)
(In case you're curious, the Sisters outside the court were Nashville Dominicans, Sisters of Life, and Religious Sisters of Mercy. Find out more about them on @WomenReligious's website. And yes, even while praying, they were following CDC guidelines!) (4/6)
Argument started right at 10AM, live-streamed by @cspan and various networks. Mother Loraine and Sister Constance of the Little Sisters of the Poor (safely and following CDC guidelines) listened to the argument with me. #LetThemServe (5/6)
Mother delivered a post-argument statement after hearing various Justices make clear that they know their sincere beliefs matter, and should be protected. Now we wait. #LetThemServe #ProtectOurCare (6/6) becketlaw.org/media/mother-l…
