BREAKING: Every Single Bishop Has Condemned the Obama/HHS Mandate!
CatholicVote.org ^ | 02/16/2012 | Thomas Peters

Posted on 02/16/2012 3:50:53 PM PST by Pyro7480

From Miami, Florida to Seattle, Washington–

Every single Roman Catholic bishop in the United States has condemned in public the Obamacare HHS mandateall 180 bishops who lead dioceses in the U.S. have spoken.

This is a simply incredible, unified, universal Catholic witness on this critical issue of religious freedom.

(To those wondering about my methodology, it is now negative instead of positive — I am no longer able to find a single Roman Catholic bishop who has NOT spoken out against the mandate publicly. It is also my presumption that this conclusion applies to all Eastern Rite and Sui Iuris bishops in the U.S.).

Still waiting for one with courage to excommunicate Nancy Pelosi.

This is a great development ONLY IF CATHOLICS follow the lead of their Bishops.

There are close to 78 Million Catholics in America. The number of adults of voting age in this group comprises a significant size for the November elections.

The question remains — HOW MANY OF THESE ARE FAITHFUL CATHOLICS and how many are the Nancy Pelosi types of CINO ( Catholics in Name Only)?

>I think we also need to be asking whether Obama’s “science czar” has already put sterilants or abortifacients in the drinking water or basic food staples, as he has claimed would be justified for the government to do.
>These people are tyrants, and people need to realize exactly what they are about.

If they do that; well then, as I’m single now and wouldn’t ever have a family that depended on me... that would mean I’m in the “nothing left to lose” category.
Enough people in that category is how revolutionary wars get going.

You must have been visiting my house earlier in the evening, as that is what I was ranting about! Now that would be a statement the Bishops should make to show they mean business!!! Throw her A— out of the Church.

"We can not--and we will not--comply with this unjust law".

Not much wiggle room in that statement.

I got chills and a big smile on my face reading your post:
“...that would mean I’m in the “nothing left to lose” category.

I don’t think this state of mind has occurred to the bath-house boy; and he’s fertilizing it everyday with his sh*t, unaware.

I want to say this if it hasn’t been said before. Obama is winning this argument. He is winning this argument, because he is controlling this argument and what the media is focusing on. All the windbags on the radio and T.V. are talking about this particular mandate, when we should really be talking about repealing the entire healthcare law. Sure, it is obvious that this mandate is scary and people are rightfully outraged, but just 3 years ago before this clown came on the scene, such arguments were completely unimaginable.

Why is this news?

The administration clearly is forcing the Catholics to go against their conscience.

Big news would be when the Catholic church stops supporting the Democratic party, its agenda and planned parenthood.

They seem determined to back us peons up against the wall so we all have nothing to lose.

I think their biggest nightmare would be if they pushed too hard and the revolution came before they were able to get rid of all the patriots’ guns. Of course, with Hezbollah on red alert just south of our border, they’d have forces that could move in quickly, and it would take the public some time to pull together to resist if there was an EMP attack or something like that to move from the slow communist simmer to full rolling boil.

Even though I’ve got kids and want to be around to help them through whatever comes, I mostly consider myself in the “nothing left to lose” category also, just because when sharia hits here my husband, kids, and I would all rather be targeted and assassinated early on anyway. We pretty much know we’ll be in the first round of assassinations as it is, just because of the work I’ve been doing.

The Lord will take care of us; death is just a one-way ticket to a much better Place than here. And I think I’d rather die than have to see the Hell on earth that the Muslims would make this land.

Obama may have let his mask slip too soon though. Muslims don’t have to buy this insurance, only us dhimmis. So we’ve got the government forcing only non-Muslims to violate their own religion.

I don’t want to type it all out again, but if people realize what’s going on here, the cat may be out of the bag for Obama. What he told the Egyptian ambassador in January of 2010, combined with these first steps to sharia, may be enough to reveal to everybody what Obama is really all about.

I posted about the sharia connection with Obamacare at http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2847101/posts?page=19#19

It’s been quite a day. A thread about the way that Obama’s “friends” in the Middle East treat Christians, at http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2847311/posts

Another thread about how the Muslim Brothers are being rewarded for threatening America, at http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2847249/posts

Another about Hezbollah setting up operations on our southern border, at http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2847278/posts

And another about the IRS harassing Tea Parties, at http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2847261/posts

If people become aware of ANY of these things they will never see Obama the same way - but especially if they realize that all of Obama’s actions/choices make sense when you realize what he told the Egyptian ambassador in January of 2010: that he was and still is a Muslim who supports the Muslim agenda, and that the Muslim world should be patient with him because he had to get Obamacare passed before he could turn his focus onto the Muslim agenda.

The Muslim agenda, that all sects agree on, is the destruction of the US and Israel, and the institution of worldwide sharia.

Everything Obama has ever done makes sense when you realize that his whole life has been filled with communist and Islamist connections, and those 2 groups have united under George Soros to fight what Soros has said he considers the world’s greatest evils: America, and capitalism. Both communism (corrupt government) and Islamism (corrupt religion) hate Christianity and are anti-Christ, and they are united (against Christ and against the freedom and prosperity that Christ brings) in both Soros (who believes he is God) and Soros’ bought-and-paid-for puppet, Barack Obama.

The media will never tell what’s really going on, because they either are united with Obama or have been threatened by Soros. But we can get the truth out there. I think there are a lot of people who can just tell in their guts that something is not right. And as OneWingedShark said, people who have nothing to lose are not good people to mess with.

Liberal Catholics will still support him. The faith of liberal Catholics is in politics and “social justice”.

What’s your point? How many of those who are pushing for contraception are single?

And what does that have to do with it?

Enlighten me.

We're going to repeal him.

Let the liberal echo chamber blow.
