I received the letter via email from a friend in Lincoln. I reposted it here to acheive wider coverage. I used the Catholic News Agency Story to lead into the actual letter.

Rebellion against evil tyrants is good for the soul!!

Disobedience to tyrants is obedience to God!!

And yet, Moslems are completely exempt from Obamacare for religious reasons.

Sounds like unequal protection under the law to me.

[The Shrew]

The Catholic Church has pleaded with President Obama to rescind this edict, but all pleas have been met with scorn and have fallen on deaf ears.

Didn't the Democrat party once prize the votes of Catholics? This is amazing to me.

Everything about the Obama Administration is unequal protection under the law.

Everything!

WHAT??? Muslims are EXEMPT from this abortion pill?? Are you POSITIVE???

[Ann Archy]

Oh please.....Obama will FOOL the CINOS again and again and again......they WANT to be fooled.

[Jim Robinson]

Never fear. The GOP-e will get their RINO du jour nominated to save us.

Several Orthodox priests whom I know, including my own Confessor, say that there may well be martyrs in America in the near future.

[Truth29]

So don't comply, not the schools, not the hospitals, not the social service agencies, not any Catholic organization. If tens of millions of Catholics told Obama no, how far would he go and what would the populace do?

Sadly, I agree with him.

This may finally be the thing that makes the Catholic Bishops go after their apostate Democrat politicians. The fact that there is no record of Democrat Catholic politicians revolting tells two tales. 1. They are not revolting and 2. The MSM isn't covering them if they are.

muslims are given their food in prison and yet Catholics are told to ignore their religion

So what we have here like their business practice is they decide which business or religion is favored and which one is ignored and forced against to do what they believe in

Newt needs to go after this and tell others of other fair that he wants you to ignore you faith he might force imams to marry two of the same sex, tell Jews to not have their food, etc

Am I mistaken, or didn’t most of the Bishops support Obamacare?

I think you're correct. Does anyone know how many Catholic Bishops and Cardinals have changed in the last three years?

PA, NJ, NH, are 3 states which should vote him out and there again if we had a nominee which was different to obama then they would have a choice on who to vote for but as of right now if Romney gets it then Romney and obama stand side by side on virtually all issues.

There is no difference between them on the issue at all.

It’s bad for us that we can’t get someone decent to ram all of this, oh wait we did but the establishment attacked him and destroyed him

I don’t know about martyrdom, but it is more likely that the tax exemption would be removed (leading to de facto confiscation of property due to the Church’s inability to pay taxes - especially property taxes).

This is why the generals in Spain revolted in 1936; their culture and way of life had been turned upside down by Bolshevism.

He described Secretary Sebelius as a “bitter fallen-away Catholic,” and called her one-year deadline extension for non-exempt religious employers “an act of mockery”...

Amazing that he named Sebelius. Obamanation, with all it’s amoral minons who love death and lies and hate life and truth, is an act of mockery. Hard to beleive America has fallen this far at the bloody hands of Marxists.
