When a "Catholic" politician uses the power of the state to force a religious institution to go against its conscience the Church should excommunicate.

[bigdirty]

The cowardly Catholic church will not excommunicate.

[xkaydet65]

Absolutely!! Ring the Bell! Close the Book! Extinguish the Candle!! NOW.

I agree. She should be excommunicated immediately, but sadly I think we know that won’t happen.

If the church wants to reach Catholics it’s past time to show them that Gods law is more important than the amount of money one puts in the basket.

[dead]

Seriously, it’s time to start showing people the door.

[cableguymn]

i wish her no ill... but there is a warm place waiting for her in the after life.

[Mariner]

Excommunication is definitely warranted and long overdue.

But the Vatican seems afraid of alienating the American left. I suspect that's because so many Catholics are democrats.

Since the atheists want contraception and abortion, they should pay for it.

[GeronL]

Are there any self-insured FReepers??

How do you feel about being forced to pay for this crap out of your own pocket?

[Mach9]

It’s never been the Church’s policy to excommunicate morons, bell-ringers like Quasimodo. If they have the brains to know they’re sinning, they’re already doomed, and no amount of excommunication will intensify their hells. What we really need is someone outside the Church to point out the sheer banality of their corruption.

Pelosi talked about the importance of women's health, and then said, "Yes, I think that all institutions who cover, who give, health insurance should cover the full range of health insurance issues for women."

Wrong. If the Catholic church is morally opposed to these things, the government, per our First Amendment, has NO RIGHT demanding that they do so! If women who work under these organizations don't like that these health insurance companies don't provide them with these purely elective options, then they are free to leave and find a company that will provide these "benefits".

I'm not Catholic but how dare this wicked, vile, disgusting woman say that Catholic organizations MUST provide that which the Catholic church is opposed?! The Catholic church would go a long way in just throwing the hammer down on all these CINOs and excommunicating these people!

(Excommunicate NOW!)

Either that or a heavenly zot..........

[AngelesCrestHighway]

Nuttier than squirrel crap!

[American Constitutionalist]

Look now, Newt’s couch cozy buddy fellow Global Warming Hoax propagandist/environmentalist Nancy Patricia D’Alesandro is joining Obama with their attacks on the church and Christians.

[Bigg Red]

Agreed. Where in the world is her bishop?

[maxwellsmart_agent]

This clown ought to be told by her party to shut up. If she is not told to contain it, she will be an embarrassment tp all involved. She is an empty headed fool who speaks without thinking.

[combat_boots]

Muslims, too, Nanzi?

[Steelfish]

SF Bishop must stand up and issue self-excommunicating decree.

“In fact Pope Benedict joined WHO’s call for universal health coverage just before its report hit the press. He called health care a moral responsibility of government and an “inalienable right,” regardless of social and economic status or ability to pay. He cautioned that the privatization of health care should “not become a threat to the accessibility, availability, and quality of health care.””

Yes. Excommunicate her now, because her behavior leads others to sin.

And her bishop, by failing to excommunicate her, also sins, because he is an accessory to the scandal.
