"...like the martyrs of old, we must be prepared to accept suffering which could include heavy fines and imprisonment..."DARE YOU decree the role of "martyr" upon the faithful who will suffer because of the Bishop's collective failure to heed their warnings when the "Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act" was being discussed publicly prior to being voted on?
DARE YOU take the mantle of "martyr" upon yourselves, who failed to recognize the obvious threat to liberty -- religious and otherwise -- that such a draconian body of legislation presents --a threat so obvious that even laypeople recognized it, and communicated their concerns to you?
DARE YOU absolve yourselves from your complete failure to warn the lay faithful when one of the most anti-life presidential candidates in history was using carnival side-show tactics to seduce voters, many of whom are your parishioners, into supporting him in the election?
DARE YOU absolve yourselves from your failure to have read at Mass your concerns about his pro-abortion position, or any of his other questionable attributes, which the media failed to scrutinize, or to have read at Mass your concerns about "Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act"?
DARE YOU ignore the overt solicitations -- even at Mass -- by Obama supporters of other communicants, which, again, you failed to speak out on?
IF WE ARE MARTYRS, is our blood on your hands?
No one cares about your blog
I don't know how you can know that, since this isn't my blog, only "my favorite blog."
But, since you've emptied your exhaustive supply of useful commentary on us, I guess we can thank our gods that you won't be opining on the Bishop's positions.
Have a nice day.
DARE YOU GET A FLIPPIN’ CLUE that Bruskewitz is the most conservative member of the American episcopate, and had no use for Obama, his works, or his empty promises ... including commiecare.

You are correct that Bruskewitz is not the one that should be sent this letter. But this letter should be sent to the majority of Bishops who are, in general, a bunch of socialists. As Rush says, liberals are liberals first before they are anything else. E.g., Catholics, Feminists, Jews, Environmentalists. I have heard several devout Catholics state that the Bishops brought this on themselves.
The trouble is, they didn't bring it on just themselves. They brought it on all of us. Even if Obama caves and exempts Catholic hospitals, universities, and similar organizations, what about the Catholic owner of a business? He will be required to include contraception and abortion in his company's health plan. Either that, or pay a fine for not having a health plan. This affects many more people than just the Bishops, and church employees.
