Court ruling finally ends EWTN fight over HHS mandate Dec. 3, 2018 The chairman and CEO of the Eternal Word Television Network said the global Catholic media organization is grateful that finally it no longer has to worry about being forced to choose between massive fines and following our faith. It shouldn t take years to prove the obvious: You can t tell a religious media network to say one thing and do another, said Michael P. Warsaw in a statement issued from EWTN s headquarters in Irondale. Warsaw s remarks came Nov. 30 about a ruling issued a day earlier by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit that vacated a lower court s ruling that EWTN had to comply with the Obama administration-era mandate to cover contraceptives and abortifacients for employees or pay huge fines. The Washington-based Becket nonprofit law firm that represented EWTN in the case Eternal Word Television Network v. Azar said the circuit court s ruling comes on the heels of a settlement with the federal government and ends EWTN s seven-year legal battle. Azar is Alex Azar, who is the current HHS secretary. It also follows an HHS rule put in place Nov. 7 finalizing interim rules issued by the Trump administration in October 2017 to expand the religious exemption to the mandate to religious employers; the new rules maintain the existing federal contraceptive mandate for most employers. The mandate was put in place by HHS under the Affordable Care Act during the Obama administration. It required that employers, including most religious employers, cover contraceptives, sterilization and abortioninducing drugs in their employee health plan. From the outset, churches were exempt. The mandate faced numerous legal challenges from religious organizations, so the Obama administration put in place a religious accommodation for nonprofit religious entities such as churchrun colleges and social service agencies morally opposed to contraceptive coverage. The accommodation required these Catholic entities to file a form or otherwise notify HHS that they would not directly provide coverage they found morally objectionable, so the government would then ask a third-party administrator to make sure their employees received the coverage. Many Catholic employers still objected to having to fill out the form, including EWTN. The network filed its original lawsuit Feb. 9, 2012, in Federal District Court in Birmingham, Alabama, against the HHS, then-hhs Secretary Kathleen Sebelius and other related government agencies. That lawsuit sought an injunction against the imposition of the mandate as well as a declaratory judgement that it was unconstitutional. The suit was dismissed March 25, 2013, by Judge Sharon Lovelace Blackburn of the U.S. District Court in Birmingham after the Obama administration announced the accommodation process. On Oct. 28, 2013, EWTN filed a new lawsuit. A federal appeals court ruled against the network in 2016, but that decision was tossed out after the U.S. Supreme Court issued a ruling that protected other religious nonprofits, including the Little Sisters of the Poor. That ruling was followed by the Trump administration s final rule put in place in November. This moment has been a long time coming, Warsaw said. Almost seven years and two presidential administrations later, the government and the courts have now realized what EWTN has been saying all along, that the HHS Mandate was an unconstitutional attempt to coerce us into violating our strongly held beliefs. This is the right outcome for EWTN and for all those who value religious liberty in America. Now in its 38th year, EWTN has 11 TV channels that broadcast in multiple languages 24 hours a day, seven days a week to over 300 million television households in more than 145 countries and territories. EWTN platforms also include radio services transmitted through SIRIUS/XM, iheart Radio, and over 500 domestic and international AM & FM radio affiliates; a worldwide shortwave radio service; and a website, electronic and print news services, including Catholic News Agency, The National Catholic Register newspaper, and a book publishing division.

O Antiphons The O Antiphons refer to the seven antiphons that are recited (or chanted) preceding the Magnificat during Vespers (Evening Prayer) of the Liturgy of the Hours. They cover the special period of Advent preparation known as the Octave before Christmas, Dec. 17-23, with Dec. 24 being Christmas Eve and Vespers for that evening being for the Christmas Vigil. In some fashion, the O Antiphons have been part of our liturgical tradition since the fifth century, when they were in use in Benedictine monasteries. The importance of O Antiphons is twofold: each one highlights a title for the Messiah; and, each one refers to the prophecy of Isaiah of the coming of the Messiah. O Sapientia: O Wisdom, O holy Word of God, you govern all creation with your strong yet tender care. Come and show your people the way to salvation. Isaiah had prophesied, The spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him: a spirit of wisdom and of understanding, a spirit of counsel and of strength, a spirit of knowledge and fear of the Lord, and his delight shall be the fear of the Lord (11:2-3), and Wonderful is His counsel and great is His Wisdom (28:29). O Adonai: O sacred Lord of ancient Israel, who showed yourself to Moses in the burning bush, who gave him the holy law on Sinai mountain: come, stretch out your mighty hand to set us free. Isaiah had prophesied, But He shall judge the poor with justice, and decide aright for the land s afflicted. He shall strike the ruthless with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips he shall slay the wicked. Justice shall be the band around his waist, and faithfulness a belt upon his hips (11:4-5); and, Indeed the Lord will be there with us, majestic; yes the Lord our judge, the Lord our lawgiver, the Lord our king, he it is who will save us (33:22). O Radix Jesse: O Flower of Jesse s stem, you have been raised up as a sign for all peoples; kings stand silent in your presence; the nations bow down in worship before you. Come, let nothing keep you from coming to our aid. Isaiah had prophesied, But a shoot shall sprout from the stump of Jesse, and from his roots a bud shall blossom (11:1), and, On that day, the root of Jesse, set up as a signal for the nations, the Gentiles shall seek out, for his dwelling shall be glorious (11:10). Remember also that Jesse was the father of King David, and Micah had prophesied that the Messiah would be of the house and lineage of David and be born in David s city, Bethlehem (Micah 5:1). O Clavis David: O Key of David, O royal Power of Israel controlling at your will the gate of Heaven: Come, break down the prison walls of death for those who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death; and lead your captive people into freedom. Isaiah had prophesied, I will place the Key of the House of David on His shoulder; when he opens, no one will shut, when he shuts, no one will open (22:22), and His dominion is vast and forever peaceful, from David s throne, and over His kingdom, which he confirms and sustains by judgment and justice, both now and forever (9:6). O Oriens: O Radiant Dawn, splendor of eternal light, sun of justice: come, shine on those who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death. Isaiah had prophesied, The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; upon those who dwelt in the land of gloom a light has shown (9:1). O Rex Gentium: O King of all the nations, the only joy of every human heart; O Keystone of the mighty arch of man, come and save the creature you fashioned from the dust. Isaiah had prophesied, For a child is born to us, a son is given us; upon his shoulder dominion rests. They name him Wonder-Counselor, God-Hero, Father-Forever, Prince of Peace (9:5), and He shall judge between the nations, and impose terms on many peoples. They shall beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks; one nation shall not raise the sword against another, nor shall they train for war gain (2:4). O Emmanuel: O Emmanuel, king and lawgiver, desire of the nations, Savior of all people, come and set us free, Lord our God. Isaiah had prophesied, The Lord himself will give you this sign: the Virgin shall be with child, and bear a son, and shall name him Emmanuel (7:14). Remember Emmanuel means God is with us. The Benedictine monks arranged these antiphons with a definite purpose. If one starts with the last title and takes the first letter of each one - Emmanuel, Rex, Oriens, Clavis, Radix, Adonai, Sapientia - the Latin words ero cras are formed, meaning, Tomorrow, I will come. The O Antiphons not only intensify our advent preparation, but also bring it to a joyous conclusion. The hymn O Come, O Come, Emmanuel is based on these antiphons.

Holy Rosary Review This past week we completed our Stockings for Soldiers project. With the help of our always generous families, Lowes, the Plymouth Police Department, the Epiphany of Our Lord Religious Education Program, and a few anonymous donors, we were able to prepare 500 stockings for shipping overseas! Our stockings were filled with candy, granola and power bars, beef jerky, sunflower seeds and several other goodies. Additionally, our students created handmade cards for each stocking. These cards were truly festive masterpieces with beautiful, heartfelt messages written by the children. The stocking stuffing party held after school would have made Henry Ford proud. The assembly line of children packing the stockings ran very efficiently. With only five adults overseeing the operation, our middle school students completed this task in only an hour-and-a-half. I believe the soldiers themselves would have been equally proud of our students efforts. Next year we will shoot for 1,000 stockings for the soldiers!

Gaudete (Rejoice), taken from the Latin translation of Phil 4:4-5, sets a tone of joyful expectation for the Lord s birth and Second Coming, as does the permitted use of rose-colored vestments.
