Catholic Bishops Call For Two Weeks of Action Against Obama

Here is the rest of the article....

“The bishops are seeing – rightly – a pattern of emerging of hostility towards the Catholic faith for upholding protection of the life of the unborn and because of its position on contraception,” said Hudson.

And Bill Donohue, the president of the Catholic League pointed out to Newsmax that the protests will come around the time the Supreme Court issues its judgment on the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare.

Unless the justices throw the act out completely, the protests could not be timed better, he said.

“If the individual mandate falls and the rest stands it will be more important than ever for Catholics to step forward and get involved,” said Donohue. “We will have to make the point that we are not going anywhere.”

Donohue said the mandate to make insurance companies cover not only contraceptives but abortion-inducing drugs is the key, he said. “It was done on purpose as a wedge to open the door. If we don’t fight it the next step is to force Catholic hospitals to provide abortion facilities,” he said.

“The idea that I as a Catholic should have to pay for some woman’s abortion makes me want to reach for the vomit bag.”

Donohue praised the bishops for their proactive stance “if for no other reason than to make the point that they are furious,” he said.

“Over the years there have been times when the resolve of the bishops wasn’t quite what we wanted it to be. Today that resolve is extremely strong,” he said.

The two weeks of protest has been called by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops. “That is not the type of body that goes out of its way to pick a fight,” Catholic Advocate’s Hudson pointed out.

“That is precisely what makes this so unusual a moment. The bishops have been provoked to such a degree that they will go to this extreme. They would prefer quiet negotiations leading to a principled compromise, instead they are talking about the probability of civil disobedience.”

Republicans are hoping the protests, planned for June and July will have a major bearing on the election which will follow four months later. They look forward to TV shots of robed priests and nuns being led away in handcuffs.

“These would be devastating images for the Obama administration,” GOP strategist Ron Bonjean told The Hill. “You have a very important religious demographic coming out in protest of Obama’s policies and being arrested for their expression.”

And Hudson agreed. When asked if the protests could be a game-changer come election time, he responded. “Potentially it could be the game-changer.

“It is a mistake to prognosticate with certainty this far out from the election, but two weeks of protest in mid-summer will help put this before the conventions and make it a major issue in the campaign.”

Hudson said Catholic Advocate has already been working in battleground states including Iowa, Ohio, North Carolina and Pennsylvania to get its message across and is about to start work in New Mexico.

“At one meeting in Des Moines, we had about 80 people and one guy sat in the corner and at the end he raised his hand and said he had been a life-long social justice Catholic – so I was getting ready for the big smackdown on all the stuff we had been doing.

“But he said, ‘I’ve just had it with Obama.’ That was a moment that really got my attention.”

The bishops outlined their plan in an April 12 statement signed by Conference general secretary, Msgr. Ronny Jenkins. The statement entitled “Our First, Most Cherished Liberty” was drawn up by the ad hoc committee for religious liberty, which includes 11 bishop members including Archbishop of Washington Cardinal Donald Wuerl, one of Obama’s fiercest critics in the church.

They called on fellow bishops to focus “all the energies the Catholic community can muster” to arrange special events to highlight the importance of defending religious liberty.

The dates were picked to run from the feast day of martyrs St. John Fisher and St. Thomas More to Independence Day. “This special period of prayer, study, catechesis, and public action would emphasize both our Christian and American heritage of liberty,” the bishops said.

“Dioceses and parishes around the country could choose a date in that period for special events that would constitute a great national campaign of teaching and witness for religious liberty.”

It referred to the mandate that church-affiliated organizations such as hospitals, schools and universities would have to provide contraceptive coverage in their employees’ insurance policies as well as state and local moves that the church says affects its freedom.

“Religious liberty is not only about our ability to go to Mass on Sunday or pray the Rosary at home,” the statement said. “It is about whether we can make our contribution to the common good of all Americans. Can we do the good works our faith calls us to do, without having to compromise that very same faith?

“What is at stake is whether America will continue to have a free, creative, and robust civil society—or whether the state alone will determine who gets to contribute to the common good, and how they get to do it.”

Hudson said that in many ways the statement itself is more important than the two weeks of action, but he accepted it would not get as much publicity.

“This is not something to get giddy about,” he said. “It would be sad if it came to priests or lay people or bishops being led away in handcuffs. What could be a sadder moment in the history of our nation than to see Catholics arrested for simply refusing to compromise on a central moral principle of their faith?

How about 27 weeks. It would make a big difference.

It’s about time for a huge national protest. Calling all tea parties to show solidarity! let’s protest in every state. I am so game.

**‘I’ve just had it with Obama.’ **

Bring it on!

Me too.

I hope my pastor says something about this from the pulpit and doesn’t just stick an extra page in the bulletin, like he did when Dolan issued his first letter.

count this practicing Catholic in....

Ah, so now the alligator is after you. It is a pity that you did not open your eyes in 2008 when Obama was elected with your help. For your penance we should let him take a bite out of your organization to more properly focus your attention in the future.

Better not stand too close to a Secret Service Agent while doing it.

This is just down the street from me. I think I’ll go. Any eastern Kansas freepers want to meet me there?

Why wasn’t this stronger stance announced when Rick Santorum, a daily Mass/Confession attending, Roman Catholic was in the running? Anyone know? — So Obama loses and a Mormon (the Mormon baptism is not considered valid in the RCC, and thus they are not considered Christians by the Church) takes his place. Could it be that Divine Intervention [only] can help us now?

Ah, so now the alligator is after you. It is a pity that you did not open your eyes in 2008 when Obama was elected with your help. For your penance we should let him take a bite out of your organization to more properly focus your attention in the future.

The Catholics who voted for Obama didn't listen to the Bishops in 2008, and some may not listen this year, either. Many, however are beginning to open their eyes to the President's tendency to lie like a rug.

Some of the Bishops may not have been as forthright as they're being now, but many of them were, and were clear about what the Church teaches on what the Non Negotiable issues were, and still are.

"Ah, so now the alligator is after you. It is a pity that you did not open your eyes in 2008 when Obama was elected with your help. For your penance we should let him take a bite out of your organization to more properly focus your attention in the future."

Ha! That's the truth! Cardinals, bishops, priests, ALL should have been more verbal in 2008. While names cannot be named, "direction" can be inferred, and it just simply was not. That being said, most Catholics that voted Obama were of the lukewarm variety to begin with so I'm not sure how much of a difference it would have made, but it would have been great if they at least tried.

Absolutely!!! Count me in!!

The Bishops announced their opposition to the contraception mandate back in February, but they’re never endorsed any one candidate.

But when was the two-week protest announced SuziQ? Before or after Rick suspended his campaign?

The Two Week protest is neither here nor there with regard to Rick Santorum's run for the nomination. The USCCB doesn't endorse political candidates.

The Bishops have been talking about this issue, non-stop, since early March, but it takes a while to get something like this two week protest set up, if they want it to be country wide. I'm sure they didn't just think this up last week.

Some of the Bishops may not have been as forthright as they're being now, but many of them were, and were clear about what the Church teaches on what the Non Negotiable issues were, and still are.

Catholic priests by the very nature of their vocation tend to be on both sides. There were catholics for and against Hitler, for instance.

truth be told, the Church usually has more priests on the wrong side than on the right side. That is because the wrong side is where most of the people that need help are located.

As you said, they should have been more clear on what the Church teaches on what the Non Negotiable issues were, and still are.

The USCCB opposed Obamacare before its passage for the same reasons. The non-negotiable political issues according to the pope are: sanctity of life, marriage and parents control of their children's education.

we should let him take a bite out of your organization

I'm sure the regime would appreciate your position, but practicing Catholics do not. Nor should any Christian support a divide-and-conquer acquiescence. It's time all Christians stand together instead of this attitude.

The Bishops keep knocking at Obama's door, but Obortion O does not answer -- his loss.....a big Catholic gain. God bless the Bishops!
