He probably isn't that familiar with American history and doesn't know how we got government schooling.
Still, if Catholics would follow their religion and its conscience you'd not see another Democrat elected this century.
This Protestant will be standing in full support of the Catholic church on this one.
Catholics and other religious leaders must realize that this President can not be trusted and even if he changes course he will continue his war on religion once elected.
The Catholic Church hasn’t been “informing consciences” for decades. The obvious results are divorce rates, Mass attendance, lower birth rates, etc.
They’ve so minimized the concept of Hell it will be difficult to resurrect true Catholicism for this fight.
“But pro-choice groups said they will fight the church and fight for the right of employees of Catholic institutions to have birth control and other services paid for.”
I don’t get it. Is it no longer possible to buy condoms and other forms of birth control? Oh! This is about making OTHER people pay for one’s condoms, including people who have religious objections to birth control itself. Now I get it.
As far as that goes, I don’t know why religious objections are the main point of contention. The REAL problem is people who think they have a right to force everyone else to pay for whatever they want and use the federal government as a tool to browbeat their fellow citizens. Religious objections, although important, are not the larger issue which is tyranny!
It's like joining a union and expecting that you have to do a good job...
...I mean...duh!
There is wheat and chaffe in every religion. Recall that Revelations opens with a list of infractions committed by the churches and an asking for them to turn away from their failings.
The Catholic Church seems to be turning ...the question will be what will be left of the pseudo-faithful in the end?
Look forward to the ugly women and "chic" women to start marching in the streets for "Women's Right to Choose", "It's MY body", etc. signage.
(As opposed to the right to choose to act responsibly and morally).
You KNOW it's gonna be 24/7 on the State-Run-Media, with "reproductive Rights" being the buzzword, and AVOIDING the term "Abortion funded by others".
But I understand, protecting Planned Parenthood funding was much more important.
ABC & NBC have yet to report on the Obamah mandate and the Catholic clergy uproar.
“The Catholic hierarchy seems to be playing a cynical game of chicken and they don’t seem to care that the health and well being of millions of American woman are what’s at stake here,” National Abortion Rights Action League President Andrea Miller said.”
Health and well being??
It’s a ‘sickness’ without a ‘disease’..
Children aren’t ‘viruses’ that need to be ‘cured’ or elminated.

Just as in the Terri Schiavo case, they re-directed it from the husband's culpability to the issue of "right-to-die."
It wasn't about "right-to-die." It never was. But the re-direction worked. Conservatives were made to look like extremists.
The same will happen here.
Liberals will re-direct the issue from the Church being forced to support abortions to the issue of birth control.
I am a practicing Catholic. But I have always thought the Church's stand on birth control is extreme and stupid. I think most Americans believe this too.
Birth control is not the issue. Abortion is the issue. And forcing Catholics to act against their beliefs is the issue.
Do not let liberals get away with this re-direction again. It it too important.
Let’s remember this assault on our religious freedom didn’t come in the form of a law. It is a diktat from our elected tyrant.
The rats have controlled both houses of Congress and the Presidency several times since Roe v. Wade. Not once did they bring a bill to the floor to turn Roe into statute.
Nor would our elected reps today consider passing a law to criminalize a Churches refusal to provide abortion services.
As long as unelected bureaucrats are illegally empowered to make law, as long as the law depends on the whim of one man, we are not a republic, and will continue our slide into despotism. FUBO.

Get real. There are 65 million Catholics in this country. There are 240 million non-Catholics and many of them vote for Democrats.
This is how we beat him in November!
The Catholic hierarchy should have realized before now that the Democrat Party is a package deal. You want "social justice" and "free healthcare"? You have to accept abortion too.
fought out in courts, just like govt wants
And what is your church doing to fight against this?
