A local archbishop is speaking out against a new birth control regulation.
Archbishop Gustavo Garcia-Síller issued a letter of protest in response to a federal mandate requiring all employers to cover contraception and abortion as part of preventative care.
The archbishop writes:
"The recent disturbing decision in Washington represents a real threat to all Americans' right to religious freedom… We cannot be silent in the face of this unjust edict."
Gustavo-Siller asked all San Antonio pastors to read it at their parish masses this weekend.
