The Little Sisters of the Poor have had their prayers answered (Video)

Today, and every day since December 31, the Little Sisters of the Poor have prayed that the Supreme Court would save them from the choice of violating their faith or exposing their ministry to decimation by IRS penalties. Today their prayers were answered.

The Little Sisters of the Poor received an injunction from the Supreme Court protecting them from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ (HHS) controversial mandate while they have their day in court.

The Little Sisters are a 175-year-old order of Catholic nuns dedicated to providing “the neediest elderly of every race and religion a home where they will be welcomed as Christ.” For more than a year, they have been telling HHS that their deep commitment to the culture of life prevents them from participating in HHS’ scheme to provide their employees with contraceptives. They told HHS that it was unfair that churches were exempt from the mandate, while the Little Sisters were not.
