“Americans United for the Separation of Church and State” has formally requested the Internal Revenue Service to investigate the Roman Catholic Bishop of Paterson, N.J., the Most Reverend Arthur Serratelli. I believe this is their first volley in a concerted effort to silence Catholic Bishops. They want to prevent them from teaching the unchangeable Moral Truth, revealed in the Natural Law and confirmed by medical science, that the child in the first home of the whole human race is one of us and that every procured abortion constitutes an intrinsically evil act because it is the taking of innocent human life. They accused the Bishop of “illegal partisanship”. We published Bishop Satarelli’s excellent piece “No Right to Life! No Freedom!” We republish it again today for our readers. It is only one of a number of articles and public statements coming from our beloved Bishops. None of these statements is “partisan” in nature. There are Democrats, Republicans and Independents who recognize the humanity of the child in the womb and seek to restore legal protection to our first neighbors.

While they are at it, maybe they could investigate -—holes United too.
Bring it on.
The Catholic Church represents one of the biggest voting blocks in the country.
It’s one thing to disagree with the church.
It’s quite another to persecute it.
If they start persecuting the Catholic Church, her children will rise to defend her.
Commie pigs can investigate themselves.
“If they start persecuting the Catholic Church, her children will rise to defend her.”
You are sooooooo right...
How about Trinity United Church in Illinios? Let’s start investigating there!
Pagans and devils abound
IRS traditionally audits the complainants as well. The Commissioner should be anonymously reminded of the need to make sure AU has not come to the table with dirty hands.
That’s good. Thanks!
That should bring Mac more Catholics
How about this line of defense: AU is seeking to prevent the Catholic church from speaking about moral issues. This is a violation of the free exercise of religion. And, (here’s the kicker) they are conspiring to do this by repeatedly using lawsuits to harass the church. This is a conspiracy to deny the leaders of this church their civil rights. Call it what it is.
In a few years of the Obama thugs running things Christians in the US will only be slightly better off than Christians in Mosel.
Bring it. We give to caesar what is caesar’s and to God what is God’s.
> You are sooooooo right...
And I’m not even a Catholic!
I’m an Evangelical Christian with a moral perspective congruent to that formally stated by the Catholich Church.
Catholics will not stand alone in facing this...

Obama Says A Baby Is A Punishment
Obama: “If they make a mistake, I don’t want them punished with a baby.”
