So the Church must now ask the secular government "permission" to actually live according to her doctrine.

Meanwhile, that formerly Catholic institution, Notre Shame, sees no issue and the "conservative" president of the USCCB grovels before the Beast.

Please, sir, may I have some more gruel?

Let’s see if Robert’s is going to sell his soul again.

First, they came for crackers though the DOJ.
Then, they came for the LEO on the border.
Then, they came for the TEA Party through the IRS.
Then, they came for Israelis,
and Christians in Egypt and Syria.
Then, they came for Fallujah.
Now, they come for the Nuns.

Apparently there is not a femtogram of ability
in EXEMPT DC to read, or care about, the US Constitution.

Either the reporter is not making themselves clear, or the DoJ is really despicable.

By signing the document the nuns agree to the law as interpreted by the DoJ. But the law states that all health insurance must have birth control.

The only exempt groups are unions and other special interest groups.

Today the DoJ interprets the law one way, tomorrow another way.

Wonder why the law writers (Emmanual and others) felt the need to use the IRS and DoJ to enforce an extremely unpopular decision?

Welcome to the USSA, comrades.

asked the court to lift the temporary block on birth control

This "lie by abbreviation" is a method increasingly used by Legacy Media, especially in the highly-rarefied hourly news "round-ups" as something that can be explained, blamed on time constraints.

Hourly FoxNews radio is heinous in this regard.

Interesting there is no byline on this story. AFP does, however, have a reporter in DC who used to work for Slate, not an American but instead French. Stereotypical Leftist. Smug little p***k. So now we have barely post-adolescent Frenchmen explaining our country and our government to us. Thanks, AFP.

Not acceptable under any circumstance.

NEVER BELIEVE A PROVEN LIAR... EVER... AND THE US GOVERNMENT IS CONTROLLED TODAY BY THE PRINCE OF LIES.

Instead, the nuns group wants to "justify its refusal to sign a self-certification that secures the very religion-based exemption the objector seeks."

If one has religious freedom then one doesn't need the government's imprimatur before that freedom can be exercised.

Obama and his thugs have declared conscientious objection dead. I wonder how many progressives understand that, if any? It appears Obama and Holder are fomenting an armed revolution. No wonder they want to disarm us.
