Believers’ Stand on Liberty Challenged Yet God’s Truth Prevails
Bishop Robert Barron is addressing claims made by Carrie Prejean Boller regarding her recent removal from the White House Religious Liberty Commission.
The bishop said her dismissal was not rooted in religious prejudice but followed disruptive behavior during a commission meeting.
Barron noted that Boller reportedly diverted the proceedings for personal agendas and showed aggressive conduct toward witnesses.

- The Catholic Church condemns antisemitism and upholds respectful dialogue.
- The commission continues its work amid the dispute over Boller’s removal.
- Faithful leadership calls for civility, truth-telling, and the common good.
Chairman Dan Patrick confirmed the removal followed a February meeting where Boller allegedly prioritized a personal agenda over the commission’s collective mission.
Despite the claims of discrimination, other Catholic members remain active on the board, continuing their work for the nation.
“To paint herself as a victim of anti-Catholic prejudice or to claim that her religious liberty has been denied is simply preposterous,” Barron stated.
We must pray for our leaders to act with wisdom and humility as they defend the sacred values of our Republic.
True religious liberty is maintained when we stand firmly on Biblical principles without causing unnecessary division.
