What began as a move to close a dangerous loophole exploded into a high-stakes national fight over the limits of religious liberty: whether the First Amendment allows church doctrine to overrule secular law when the two conflict.

At its core, this battle turns on a crucial question the courts — and now the country — are forced to confront: Where does religious freedom end and the duty to protect children begin?

You mean Jeffrey Epstein's BEST FRIEND who hired 1000 FBI AGENTS to Scrub his name from Public Jeffrey Epstein Evidence wants the Church to COVER UP CHILD RAPE? I wonder why?

That's weird: the dude who was a close personal friend of Jeffrey Epstein, whose administration is blocking the release of the files about him, the one who has all kinds of creepy incidents involving him and minors... That Donald Trump is siding with pedophiles and those who protect them!? Simply astounding...

There must be other countries which require this.

I wonder who is morally right, the pedofile or the pedofiles? In this specific case.
