NEW YORK — Though stunned by Indiana’s and Arkansas’ retreat from religious-freedom laws, conservative faith leaders vowed Friday not to give up.
Evangelical and Roman Catholic leaders say they will continue their push for protections from laws they consider immoral. The drive gained momentum years ago when they saw their beliefs on marriage, abortion and other issues in the minority.
Archbishop William Lori of Baltimore, who leads the religious liberty committee of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, said the bishops’ goals have not changed.
“Individual or family-owned businesses as well as religious institutions should have the freedom to serve others consistent with their faith,” Lori said in a statement.
