Cardinal Dolan blasts White House contraception plan as 'freedom of religion battle'
NY Post ^ | 3/3/2012 | KEVIN SHEEHAN and GARY BUISO

It’s holy war!

Cardinal Timothy Dolan ramped up the battle with the White House today, blasting the government for a controversial new regulation that would require providing free contraceptive services to workers of religious institutions.

“Don’t impose your teaching upon us and make us do as a church what we find unconscionable to do!” the freshly minted prince of the church told a roaring crow of 1,000 at Holy Trinity Diocesan HS in Hicksville.

In a blistering attack interlaced with humor, Dolan never mentioned President Obama by name — only his policies.

"Don't impose your teachings upon us....."

....and don't have 30 year old radical leftist lawyers such as Sandra Fluke scamming everyone by saying she is a 23 year old law student. Just saw her profile on Linkedin.com. Why isn't this fraud being exposed on ANY news website? Not one so far mentions that this woman is a flat out scam artist.

What was Dolan's position on Obamacare when it first passed?

I've been unable to find out.

Maybe the Cardinal could get the Church to undermine Obama by drawing attention to Arpaio's work on Obama's fraudulent background.

I saw the Cardinal on 60 minutes a while back. I am a protestant but not a Catholic. I did like him very much. He was very down to earth.
I figured he would speak out about this travesty.

Poor Cardinal Dolan. He’s just so out of step with the modern world.

Since about 1098% of Catholic women are using contraceptives, it must mean that non-marital sex is now OK for recreation. NO? I am certain that Jesus would approve as morals area “living set of standards”. doncha know?

And anyway, Sister Sandra Fluke says it’s OK to have sex as much as she wants and since she cannot afford it, certainly it’s perfectly reasonable to ask for the US taxpayers to pay for her contraceptives. It’s sort of like we all pay for her movie tickets, fast food, tanning booth sessions, manicures, etc. YES?

Oh, wait, we are not paying for her movie tickets, food, manicures, and tanning booth sessions? How come she forgot to mention those essential needs for a good liberal education at Georgetown, huh?

The liberal media as yet to utter the words...establishment clause...and they won’t. That is the issue...Obama is trashing the first amendment...can’t talk about that though.

The media and Dems are trying to drive a wedge between women and the Republican party. So far, they are doing a pretty good job.

The lies the media tell are unending. After years of trashing Catholic priests, the media now will try and drive a stake though the heart of Christianity...by making the churches the last bastion of male privilege.

It’s all nonsense, of course, but the Republicans response thus far has been very, very weak.

No wonder the commuinist in the White House is likely to be reelected.

If the Catholic Church wants to get Obama's attention and let him know they are serious and will not *obey* this mandate - they need to act! They need to close a couple of hospitals and let it be known that all their ministries will be closed before this mandate ever goes into effect.

Obama is dense. It will take something this dramatic to wake him up.

I really like Cardinal Dolan. I’m not a Catholic but I see a leader in this man.

He is not dense....Every move he does is designed to create perceptions for his useful idiots to absorb. The media is complicit in hiding everything from these idiots whom the schools have made ignorant of all history-—plus corrupted them morally so emotions trump intellect.

The people need to wake up, but with zero’s and these Marxists grip on MSM and school brainwashing, it is hard to get the Truth out——Truth tellers end up like Brietbart.

Gee, The Church advocates for government healthcare that will enslave VERY citizen to the will of the godless communists...and their only gripe is contraception?

Are these guys on my side?

To a great extent they are, at least, collaborators with my enemy.

Way to go, Cardinal Dolan!


It is a freedom of religion battle,” Dolan said. “We are talking about an unwarranted, unprecedented radical intrusion into the interior life of integrity of a church’s ability to teach, serve and sanctify in its own.”

Dolan, the president of the US Conference of Catholic Bishops and de facto leader of the American Catholic Church, didn’t shy away from his leadership role, nor from controversy.

“I suppose we could say there might be some doctor who would say to a man who is suffering some sort of sexual dysfunction, ‘You ought to start visiting a prostitute to help you, and I will write you a prescription, and I hope the government will pay for it.”

From the brilliant mind of John Kass, Chicago Tribune reporter, from his ‘Kassopedia.’

~~~~~~~~~

O’Bama: As an infant, O’Bama was found by the Daley women floating in a reed basket on the south bank of the Chicago River, and he grew to perform great miracles with the help of his powerful shaman, the Merlin Axelrod. He drew the Sword of Reform from the cornerstone of City Hall.

At a banquet of insiders, he turned the water into beer. Perhaps O’Bama’s greatest miracle was to convince American political reporters who were under the Merlin’s spell that he could swim through Chicago political waters unstained.

He was able to accomplish this amazing feat because Axelrod transformed him into an empty vessel (or grail) into which most of the nation’s journalists poured all childish hopes and unresolved racial guilt.

~ ~ ~ ~

King of Beers: Code for the Rev. Jesse Jackson, whose sons received an exclusive Budweiser distributorship in Chicago after the Rev played the race card and chanted “This Bud’s a Dud” during his famous boycott of Anheuser-Busch. One son did not enter the beer business but did play political footsie with a corrupt governor, and is known as U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr., D-Bud Light.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Rahmfather: 1) Term of endearment and respect for Mayor Rahm Emanuel, praise forever be upon his name, mostly because he really can’t stand it when you criticize him, and the last thing I want is that freaky Arby pointing at me. 2) The absolutely cool portrait of the mayor — in the style of a “Godfather” movie poster — hanging on the wall of my office at the Tribune Tower, given me by a mysterious and still unknown reader.

~ ~ ~ ~

Rahmpelstiltskin: A tiny dancer who prances angrily around the fire at night — perhaps wearing curly-toed boots — forcing Chicagoans to spin straw into gold with the use of speed cameras, while shrieking “sit down!” and “shut up!” Rahmpelstiltskin uses a wearying array of taxes, fees, regulations and haughtiness to get his way. Please approach with caution. Rahmpelstiltskin can be dangerous when provoked.
