Update on the Fight for Religious Liberty in the US

Dear Friend, 

“With God’s Help…” said Paul Jonna, when I asked him to explain how he is going to win the two crucial civil liberties cases he is fighting in the courts right now. Mr. Jonna partners with our friend and long-time ally, Chuck Limandri, as counsel at the Thomas More Society. This organizations mission is to fight for religious and civil liberties of people of conscience who are persecuted by the godless Left in our country. 

Attorney Jonna knows that we are fighting against the “principalities and powers of this world of darkness” (Eph 6:12) which are fundamentally opposed to God, so it is only possible to defeat them by relying on the power of God’s grace. 

In this episode of Catholic Action Insight Paul Jonna offers an extremely interesting update for us on two cases in southern California that are not only of interest to Californians but also have potential national implications for religious liberties.

Case 1 involves a horrific statewide gender policy in schools that drives a wedge between parents and schools. The state mandate requires public schools to unhesitatingly affirm the self-asserted “gender identity” of children as young as kindergarten age without an obligation to inform the parents. 

You read that right: parents are in the category of those with “no need to know” about this decision on behalf of their own children!

This parental exclusion policy is utterly outrageous for decent people of any stripe, but the Thomas More Society is defending two devout Christian teachers who objected to the policy and have been negatively disciplined by their school district. 

In the interview, Paul Jonna boils down these complex legal matters into clear layman’s terms. He summarizes:

- The court’s groundbreaking preliminary injunction from last September that stopped the enforcement of this policy
- The violation of his clients’ 1st and 14th Amendment constitutional rights, as well as
- The long-term and wide-spread implications of a win for our side. 

Let’s just say the far-Left educational establishment is so threatened by this case that it has unleashed an army of lawyers funded by tax-payer dollars to fight the Thomas More Society. They know they have everything to lose, but Jonna is nonetheless very optimistic about the case, which is hopeful for all of us. 

The second case involves the persecution of an L.A. County lifeguard who refused to raise the mandated “Progress Pride Flag” on his lifeguard tower when the state forced the issue in June of last year.

The lifeguard said it violated his Christian convictions and asserted correctly that the law allowed for such conscientious accommodations to religious values.

The antagonists of the Left, however, were having none of it. What immediately followed were his suspension, removal, harassment, intimidation, retaliation, and even death threats against his family. The lifeguard is lucky that the Thomas More Society took his case, and you will find Mr. Jonna’s update on this case to be gripping and informative. 

Paul Jonna is right: there is no way to succeed in the public arena other than “With God’s Help….” Given the importance of these cases, they must succeed, so I am calling for huge amounts of prayer for the team at the Thomas More Society, their clients, and all the legal complexities of the cases. 

With God on our side and professional men like Paul Jonna in our camp, our hope remains firm. 

Yours in Christ and Our Lady,



Thomas J. McKenna
