The letter argued that the faithful could not and must not in good conscience comply with the HHS’ “unjust law.”

Well, the Army’s Office of the Chief of Chaplains sent out an order “forbidding Catholic priests to read the letter, in part because it seemed to encourage civil disobedience, and could be read as seditious against the Commander-in-Chief.”
