US Conference of Catholic Bishops Fights Obama War on Religion

This is not about access to contraception, which is ubiquitous and inexpensive, even when it is not provided by the Church’s hand and with the Church’s funds. This is not about the religious freedom of Catholics only, but also of those who recognize that their cherished beliefs may be next on the block. This is not about the Bishops’ somehow “banning contraception,” when the U.S. Supreme Court took that issue off the table two generations ago. Indeed, this is not about the Church wanting to force anybody to do anything; it is instead about the federal government forcing the Church—consisting of its faithful and all but a few of its institutions—to act against Church teachings. This is not a matter of opposition to universal health care, which has been a concern of the Bishops’ Conference since 1919, virtually at its founding. This is not a fight we want or asked for, but one forced upon us by government on its own timing. Finally, this is not a Republican or Democratic, a conservative or liberal issue; it is an American issue.

Put succinctly. I still can't believe this is happening in my country.

It is also hard to believe that One Evil Man can attempt to take away our rights given to us by GOD and enumerated in the Constitution. At the moment there a great deal of evidence that Obama was never QUALIFIED to be President.
Let him prove he is qualified since he spent over 2 million
Dollars to Obstruct the investigation.
But to stick his nose into the rules of the Catholic Church
is Breathtakingly Evil.

Triple SHAME on the people who put this guy in the “White House”.

Catholicism is both the most dangerously Leftist and most promising conservative faith in the world—when Catholics are “reformed” ( so reformed they are no longer Catholics) or observant (spiritually in league with a church Founder who actually knew Christ in the flesh) it is never half way with them—they go all out either for the Devil or Christ—depending on what fashionably presented demagogues’ spin they accept at the time as they try,like the Victorian newly rich of late 18th Century America—to purchase popular parish worship in spite of the historically discredited notion of spiritual infallibility that even the Popes could never pull off.
Long ago,when the protestants presented the Vatican the actual truth of Christ—a truth they denied for so long out of personal and corporate avarice—these times of impending perdition on earth were set in motion...
Both Mormons and Catholics share an incredible belief system yet both are vital to our mission and it is meet that they and the true faiths are working together today to stop the temporal tyranny of Obama.

The paying for contraceptives is bad enough, but the new $1 per month surcharge on everyone’s health insurance earmarked to specifically pay for abortions is over the top. This will force millions of Americans individually to go against their conscience and religious beliefs. It would be an easy step to expand this mandate to cover euthanasia and assisted suicide.
