Thomas Aquinas College President Michael F. McLean appeared on Tuesday’s episode of EWTN News Nightly to discuss the College’s recently filed Supreme Court brief in its case challenging the HHS Contraceptive Mandate. The interview begins, in the above video, at the 20:46 mark.

“We think, as faithful Catholics, that we ought to be able to practice our faith in a  robust and compelling way, and really conduct our business in accordance with the teachings of the Catholic Church,” Dr. McLean told host Brian Patrick. “For years we have provided health insurance to our employees without contraceptive coverage or abortifacient coverage, and our hope is to be able to do the same under the Affordable Care Act.”

During the interview, which occurred via Skype, the Catholic television network flashed various photos of the College’s campus in Santa Paula, California,” leading Mr. Patrick to exclaim, “What a beautiful campus!”
