The Catholic Church responded back today: "No, it’s not, and the USCCB harshly condemned Biden for lying. In a statement, they said: This is not a fact. The HHS mandate contains a narrow, four-part exemption for certain ‘religious employers.’ That exemption was made final in February and does not extend to ‘Catholic social services, Georgetown hospital, Mercy hospital, any hospital,’ or any other religious charity that offers its services to all, regardless of the faith of those served." So metoo who lied again? This is just one of Biden's lies. Do your own research for the others. I can see why your no longer with Los Alamitos any longer.
