Join us for a lively debate and discussion just before the Pope visits Philadelphia!  As the Conference of Catholic Families heads to Philadelphia, what better time to engage in a review of law and religious speech in the USA.  Join a dynamic panel as they debate how the First Amendment has evolved in an ever-changing climate of tension and religious extremism.  Look at specific events and analyze the tension between law and religious freedom - the Charlie Hebdo Massacre and religious extremists, the Catholic Church’s handling of sex abuse charges, including Archdiocesan Bankruptcies, the Hobby Lobby Case and Title VII Rights Against Discrimination, the Federal and State Religious Freedom Restoration Acts and same-sex marriage.  Examine these questions and more - Is religious freedom being used as a means to promote hate and bigotry?  Where is the balance between national security and protection of religious speech?  Can we still have a civilized dialogue about religion in this country?  Are our courts treading into new ways of interpreting religious freedom in America?  How close is the tie between politics and religion?  What is the media’s role in balancing the coverage of religious extremism around the world?
