Start purging heretics. It’s been overdue for decades.

There is no bigger supporter of the welfare state and thus welfare state politicians and the Dem party than the Catholic bishops. They love this destructive system based on envy, jealousy, covetousness, bitterness and theft. They promote this all the time and then they say oh, no, don’t vote for pro-abortion candidates. Good luck with that. Choosing which sins are ok and which are not is kinda tricky business.

The Catholic Church has too many priests and nuns who believe in exactly what Obama does. The pope may say one thing but most Catholics do another. The Catholic Church is a huge believer in social justice. Sad to say but it is true.

Tammy Baldwin is going to go after the Knights of Columbus. She says we are a Hate Group.

a smaller more devout church would not be a bad thing I agree

I have always had trouble understanding why people who do not follow the tenants of the church would want to be catholic...why identify yourself with something you don’t believe in

A priest friend of mine once told me these people belong to the “just in case” crowd that they really don’t believe in Christ as Saviour and the Eucharist but they attend church now and then to assure their salvation just in case.

I am supremely confident that the US bishops will find a way to accommadate themselves to the Obamacare abortion/contraception mandate.

How many bishops, pastors, priests, and lay people will go to jail for it?

Not many. The Catholic Church has been paying for similar things in Europe for decades.

it is my (limited) understanding that this is not an option with obamacare. employers are now required by law to offer government approved health coverage or face ever increasing fines as a penalty.

would be very difficult to pay fines to the government and give pay raises...especially as the recession deepens

The only response to O’Bumbler is to CLOSE ALL THE CATHOLIC BASED ORGANIZATIONS.

Do not say anything, just one Tuesday morning have all the doors locked, put the sick from the hospitals out in the street and lock the doors.

Let O’Bumbler take care of them. Many will die, such is life for the ObamaBots.

Obama would love nothing more than to shutter the church...then they can rely on him not the church

and it is not just hospitals it is catholic schools as well...

but...I take comfort that the gates of hell shall not prevail against the church of Christ

I have a better idea. Just shut all the Catholic hospitals down. Do not sell them. Just put out a notice that they will no longer be accepting new patients. Layoff all employees and watch how fast HHS has to back down. If all Catholic hospitals did this it would account for over 20% of the hospital in the US. It would not take long for the effects to be felt.

CT Catholics lost. And when you lose, it means your opponents are winning. So the Bishops and the rest of us got nobody to blame but ourselves.

They did not participate in the campaign. Only the discusssion of issues, no candidates. Ask for a show of hands at daily Mass. How many of you voted? Not much more than half.

And it would not be a landslide for Linda McMahon at any daily Mass that I attend. “Did not vote” gets more votes than Linda. I bet she barely wins the others and these are ... daily communicants.

I will also, though my wife said she will not in order to protect our child.
