WASHINGTON, D.C., May 22, 2012, (LifeSiteNews.com) – The Obama administration’s HHS mandate has united Christians of all stripes – evangelical, historical Protestant, and Roman Catholic – as they close ranks behind a flurry of lawsuits filed yesterday morning to overturn the controversial measure and stall government interference in religion.

After 43 Catholic institutions – including the major archdioceses, dioceses, universities, and publishing houses affiliated with the Church in the United States – filed a dozen lawsuits to strike the measure down on First Amendment grounds, the Christian and conservative communities quickly applauded the move. President Obama with Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius, who is behind the controversial birth control mandate.

“I have said ‘We are all Catholic now,’ and this is why,” said Concerned Women for America (CWA) President Penny Nance. “The religious community stands together in the belief that this contraception, chemical abortion, and sterilization mandate would force us to pay for something many of us believe is morally repugnant.”

A one sided truce? Not likely. It would have to be accompanied by a cessation of the anti-Catholicism on this forum.

And yet Evangelicals are joining Catholics in solidarity in this attack on Obamacare. I doubt Catholics would join Evangelicals in any similar endeavor.

Furthermore, as I have pointed out numerous times, Fundamentalist Protestant FReepers (like Fundamentalist Protestants elsewhere) attack Catholicism from the right. Catholic FReepers (and Catholics elsewhere) choose to respond by attacking Evangelical/Fundamentalist Protestants from the left ("bigots," "fanatics," "small-minded bumpkins not smart enough to join our intellectual urban church," etc.). I wonder if that is how the Pope responded to Martin Luther?

See my last post. Thanks.

I saw your last post. I responded to your last post. That you refuse to respond to mine is a tacit admission that I am right without making an apology.

Things being what they are, I will accept the admission.
