The Council of Religious Leaders of Metropolitan Chicago condemns the anti-Catholic caricatures and inflammatory rhetoric that has erupted in our community in the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court’s abortion decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization.
Regardless of our personal or political views on abortion, bigotry has no place in our community. There are more than two million Catholics in the Archdiocese of Chicago. As a council composed of almost every religious tradition in Chicago, we cannot accept the demonization of any faith community.
