City tries to prohibit Christians from serving; status of Blaine Amendments and how they affect private schools
This week on Faith on Trial: Eric Rassback, deputy general counsel
for the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty on the state of the “Little” Blaine
Amendments. These are state constitutional amendments that were adopted in the
mid to late 19th century after the failure of a proposed federal
constitutional amendment that would have prohibited public funds from being
used for non-public schools. Then we’ll have Chris Gacek, senior fellow with
the Family Research Council who will discuss a proposed amendment to the San
Antonio, Texas, city code that would effectively prohibit Christians from
elected or appointed positions with the city; echoes of last week’s interview
with Pastor Cary Gordon of the Cornerstone World Outreach in Sioux City, Iowa. Tune
in: Saturday at 8 a.m.; Sunday at 2 & 7 p.m.; and Monday at 9 p.m. on Iowa
Catholic Radio 1150 AM; 88.5 & 94.5 FM and streaming live on IowaCatholicRadio.com.
