Biography
The American Catholic Lawyers Association, Inc. (ACLA) is a nonprofit nationwide network of Catholic attorneys and lay supporters dedicated to the defense of the Faith and the rights of Catholics in America. Conceived and formed in 1990 as a Catholic answer to the American Civil Liberties Union and other left-liberal activist groups, the ACLA engages in a wide range of activities aimed at countering the forces of secularism in our society. These activities include: Federal and State court litigation on behalf of Catholic plaintiffs and defendants whose civil rights are being violated on account of their Catholic Faith in the spheres of pro-life activity, employment and the right to worship God in both private and public manifestations of the Faith; defense of the Faith in public discourse and debate; Catholic apologetics: explaining the truths of the Catholic Faith and refuting attacks against in formal debate and apologetical literature.
