Catholic hospitals and charities do very great work - and not just among other Catholics, of course.
I am not a Catholic, but I recognize that the Catholic Church is a conduit of God’s grace. I certainly will add my prayers to yours.
First, they came for the unborn. Then they came for the Catholics. Then,....
its time to take a stand.
Shame on the Catholics who helped put Obama in office and, idiotically, didn’t see this coming.
I am so glad the Catholic Church is taking a stand on this. It would behoove all Catholics to also think about this mandate when they go to the voting booth this fall.
It will also force Catholic business owners to buy health plans that support contraception and abortion. And it will do the same to any other Christian business owners who object to being forced by the government to pay for killing babies.
And it will further undermine the health profession, which is already infiltrated with doctors and nurses and pharmacists who would just as soon kill their patients as heal them.
I know; my mother was in a nursing home, before dying a natural death at 102, and whenever she went in to the hospital for treatment, I had to argue with some doctor who wanted to persuade me that it would be cheaper to kill her. Luckily they refrained from doing it; but you cannot count on that in this expanding culture of death.
There are still plenty of faithful doctors and nurses, who support life, but they are getting fewer, and will be fewer still if these mandates are forced on us. Queen Sebelius, Obama’s choice to run his health empire, was a bosom buddy of Dr. Death, and shared the abortion wealth with him.
Thought exercise question: What happens if Catholic institutions refuse to comply and continue to offer Catholic health care anyway? Does the IRS start kicking in doors and hauling Catholics off to jail? If playing Obama’s game within the existing legal framework is fruitless, would mass street action be more effective? How about excommunicating leading Obama Administration Catholics?
There is an “out”. They have another year before they have to comply. Plenty of time to elect Newt and a republican House and Senate.
No doubt about it. This is precisely where will-to-power driven state supremacists always go. The destination at the end of that road is horror, slaughter and strocity.
Reference our stand at Klamath Falls for ideas should it come to that.
Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said late last year that the Churchs conscience thing puts woman at risk (yes, shes a Catholic).
When is the Catholic church going to boot her sorry ass out? Plus any Kennedy who decides to run for public office.
BUMP
As for me and my House, We Will Not Comply!!!
Prayers up that this is reversed.
The letter was’nt read in the church I attended in the Detroit diocese and from other web sites that I read,not in many other dioceses as well.The foxes are guarding the chicken coop.

All Newt has to say is “When elected president, I will immediately issue an EO banning the HHS’s anti conscience Contraceptive rule”....and the election will be his to lose!
I wonder if Myth Slime oppurtunist Bucket will say it first...!
And they have carefully looked the other way for decades as nominally Catholic Democrat pols voted for "pro-choice" legislation and judges, again and again and again and again.
Now they get concerned, when it may be too late. I'm having a hard time working up any sympathy.
