Bishop Walker Nickless’ response to the criticism of using the word "violently" when opposing the HHS Mandate: I appreciate your response and understand your reaction to me using the word “violently”. I misspoke and I apologize for using that word. I do not condone using violence regardless of the issue at hand. The word I meant to use was vehemently. Although I regret using the word “violent” it does not change my position on the HHS Mandate. It is wrong, and I along with my brother Bishops, will continue to voice our concerns. I hope and pray that our administration will realize that our religious beliefs are sacred. May the lord give you peace. – Bishop Walker Nickless, Bishop of the Diocese of Sioux City
