If you’re a Christian, and you’re not concerned about the growth of government power, consider this:

• The Little Sisters of the Poor, who are (as the name suggests) devoted to helping those in need, have been forced to spend the last fifteen years defending their work from the encroachments of federal regulations.

• Liberal politicians, who claim to care for the poor, have continued their legal assaults on the Little Sisters of the Poor, trying variations on a theme that has already been rejected twice by the Supreme Court.

• If Democrats regain control of the executive branch, those noisome regulations will be back in force, and the lawfare will continue.

One thinks of Martin Niemöller’s poem, slightly adapted: “First they came for the Little Sisters of the Poor, and I did not speak out, because I was not a LIttle Sister of the Poor…”
