Regarding: ""The mandate reflected a view that religious freedom is really just about a freedom to worship on the Sabbath and believe in the privacy of your home," said Richard W. Garnett, professor of law at the University of Notre Dame and director of the university's Program on Church, State and Society."
- Religious liberty is about being able to practice one's own religion no matter where one is. That is, one may  pray before meals in a restaurant, say the rosary while standing on a curb, fast all day without fanfare, go to church anytime of day or of week...
- Religious liberty is not about making associations or corporations self identified as a church or church-like into a 'person' with rights. In fact religious liberty requires churches and their designated leaders to not act in secular or civil society in such a way as the norms of the institutions are required of others.
- The USCCB has done a disservice to all by misinterpreting religious liberty.
