What is Fidelis?
Fidelis: (adj) faithful, loyal, true.
The name Fidelis, is widely recognized as a part of the United States Marines motto “Semper Fidelis” (always faithful). The family of Fidelis organizations chose this name because it represents the deepest aspirations of our combined work – to encourage and advance a spirit of faithfulness in American public life, in both the duties of citizens and in our commitments to religious faith.
Fidelis is a Catholic-based advocacy organization established to help elect pro-life, pro-family and pro-religious liberty candidates to public office, support the confirmation of judges, and promote and defend laws faithful to the Constitution in Congress and the Courts.
Fidelis is principally focused on protecting the right to life at every stage, upholding the time-honored institutions of marriage and family, and advancing the role of religious liberty in the renewal of American culture. These truths have united millions of Americans since the founding of our nation and continue to unite people of faith today.
In order to best address many of these issues, Fidelis is uniquely set up to participate in political campaigns, legislative initiatives, judicial confirmation battles, and public interest litigation. We believe this multi-prong strategy will effectively advance our mission in ways never done before.
Fidelis consists of four legal entities: Fidelis, Fidelis America, Fidelis Center for Law and Justice, and the Fidelis Media Fund. Each of these entities is organized to comply with all applicable laws governing our activities.
Religion in the Public Square
Our religious freedom was outlined first and foremost in the First Amendment of the Bill of Rights – “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise therof.” For the past 50 years, rather than protecting religious liberty, activist groups such as the ACLU have succeeded in pushing the unfounded doctrine of a strict “separation of church and state” which requires the public square to be purged of all religious symbols and references, and the free speech of religious people and organizations to be curtailed.
As a result, people of faith and faith-based organizations have come under attack on many levels, epitomized recently when some political leaders argued that judges of faith are unqualified to serve in the courts.
Fidelis is committed to protecting the right to religious liberty for individuals by electing candidates to office, supporting the confirmation of judges, and promoting and defending Constitutionally-sound law through the Congress and the courts.
