And the State marches on——trying to eradicate God from worldview with force of law. We better wake up and get involved in a grass roots effort to put back God and our God-given rights before we find ourselves in Bonhoeffer’s shoes.
Pretty amazing. Better than I would have expected from Vlasney. He deserves to be complemented on this one.
“We cannot and will not comply with this unjust law.”
Man oh man, I sure hope the Church holds fast on this one, and in a unified manner. I think this is one case where the Government will “blink first” if the Church sticks to its guns.
I’m very glad to see this. The one I posted the other day was read by our parish priest this morning after the Gospel. Needs to be spread everywhere in the country, now!
Emails sent to Boehner, Brown and Portman. No, not holding my breath, but we have to try.
Bishop Vlazny was my English teacher at Quigley North Seminary 1965/66. My history teacher that year was Father James Keleher who late became Bishop of Kansas City.
Amen, Facebook this and NYer’s Fr Rutler article. Sent to friends and family.
To bad they are waking up so late in the game to the evil that is on the move. Maybe it’s not to late... Maybe the Bishops should have read the bill before backing it? Or they could have ask me if it was bad and unconstitutional law. It would have made thing much easier.
I can remember when the USCCB committee interviewed candidate Jimmy Carter and came out proclaiming, "He's with us on everything but abortion." The message then was clear: all the "social justice" things outweighed abortion. So Catholics voted for Carter.
My personal prediction of how this is going to turn out: hospitals, schools and colleges will "disaffiliate" from the Church. Only churches, which are exempt from the Obama requirements, will remain officially "Catholic." All other institutions will go the way many formerly Catholic colleges have already gone. That way the Church saves face. No officially Catholic organization will be paying for contraception, but all formerly Catholic organizations will go along quietly. And the Bishops will have the socialized medicine they wanted so badly.
Our Blessed Mother asked America’s Bishops to enthrone a statue of her as Our Lady of America in her National Shrine. The statue is located across the street in the Bl. Pope JPII Cultural Center waiting for the Bishops’ action.

This reminds me of the world’s Bishops not consecrating the world to Our Lady per her request at Fatima. WWII could have been avoided if they had done this. And we’re seeing Bishops’ non compliance happen all over again in America, as the gauntlet has been thrown down directly at the Catholic Church.
God wants to save America, but He wants to do it through Our Blessed Mother, and in this way.
They need to sue big time.
