Personally, I was embarrassed by Cardinal Dolan's statement: "The Catholic Church could have been one of Obamacare's "biggest cheerleaders" if not for some of its mandates involving contraception." Either the bishops are ignorant of the ramifications of Obamacare on the working class or they are naive, which I strongly doubt.
Follow up, ping!
Obviously a bad translation.
The Bishops were all against it because it warred on life from the womb to the tomb.
Article lets bishops off the hook.
First of all, they were warned.
Second, no warning should have been necessary. The Democrat party has been pro-abortion for forty-plus years. Obama is the most pro-abortion Democrat in history. What did the bishops think would happen to health care?
They didn’t think. They didn’t want to think.
Dolan couldn’t resist the chance to bellow with laughter with Obama at the Al Smith Dinner.
Cardinal Sean couldn’t resist the opportunity to hob-nob with the Kennedys at a big, splashy, televised canonization for Teddy, at which Cardinal Sean got the chance to slobber on Obama.
I have no problem with the concept of universal health care in principle. But there’s a reason both the funniest and most frightening words in the English language are “I’m from the government and I’m here to help you.”
