Nicholas DiMarzio, the Catholic bishop of the diocese of Brooklyn, N.Y., says that in his zealous support for abortion, President Barack Obama has used his position not to help mothers and children in difficult circumstances but instead has been an advocate for that which “is shameful and criminal in the eyes of Almighty God.”

Good words - but nothing about nationalized healthcare, or amnesty for illegals, or confiscatory taxation?

You need to watch TBN for that.

Dear Alex Murphy,

“Good words - but nothing about nationalized healthcare, or amnesty for illegals, or confiscatory taxation?”

A criticism not entirely without merit much of the time, but much less so this time, as the bishop alludes to the fundamental crux of the HHS mandate:

“’We know that, today, an administration that is hostile requires contraception and sterilization,’ states the bishop. ‘However, as government involves itself in our internal affairs, there is little doubt in anyone’s mind that the government would seek to compel religious institutions to provide abortion services in the future.’”

Not as eloquently or clearly stated as I'd like, but he understands that when government controls, government compels.
