From Miami, Florida to Seattle, Washington–
Every single Roman Catholic bishop in the United States has condemned in public the Obamacare HHS mandate — all 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.).

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.
Thank you for your response.
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

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.
Pro-Life bump
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.
Let the liberal echo chamber blow.
(...they already *do*)
All President Palin would have to do is charge $5 each to piss on Soros's grave -- given his age, we won't have to wait too long for a heart attack or somesuch. And once it happens?
Problem solved in less than a year.
Cheers!

Barnum noted that there was a sucker born every minute and I doubt the Church is immune to that principle. Of course there will be some who will forgive and forget but somehow I think there will be just as many who will remind them of Obama’s previous duplicity. In the end I believe he will suffer a net loss of voters.
I did like that Monsignor Steenson, the head of the Ordinariate of the Chair of St Peter (the groups of Anglicans returning to Rome) opened his letter on the HHS mandate with this:
Almighty God, who hast created us in thine own image: Grant us grace fearlessly to contend against evil and to make no peace with oppression; and, that we may reverently use our freedom, help us to employ it in the maintenance of justice in our communities and among the nations, to the glory of thy holy Name; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

Then you can go right back to criticizing them for failing to excommunicate Pelosi, and letting Kennedy get a Christian burial.
Thank you for the reply. Very insightful. I love this forum. My rage towards the current administration cannot be underestimated. I feel like they made more missteps than all the previous Presidents combined, but yet people still believe he is good, and electable. It is frustating and makes me wonder if it is time to leave.
I would pay a lot more to piss on Soros’s grave.
