Statement of Knights of Columbus CEO Carl Anderson on President Trump's May 4 executive order on religious liberty

NEW HAVEN, Conn., May 4, 2017 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- "We applaud President Trump's executive order on religious liberty. While there is still work to be done to restore the reverence for religious freedom enshrined in the First Amendment, this order marks an important step in restoring those constitutional principles guaranteed to every American. Guided by their beliefs, people of faith contribute in important ways to every aspect of this country, and this order will begin to restore the principles upon which this country was based: that people of faith should be able to exercise that faith with the protection rather than the opposition of their government."
