Gingrich to Newsmax: Obama ‘Relentlessly Hostile’ to Religion
Many Catholic leaders reacted negatively to Obama’s revised policy. They pointed out that there are several Catholic insurance firms and self-insured Catholic organizations that would still be affected.
Throughout the controversy over the HHS mandate, which is part of the process of determining what procedures must be covered under the president’s healthcare reforms, pastors and ministers across the political spectrum have come to Catholics’ defense.
They frame the issue as one of religious liberty and the First Amendment, rather than a debate about what does or does not constitute abortion.
Gingrich told Newsmax on Friday that he doubts whether the new policy represents a significant concession.
“It’s a clever maneuver which may actually be worse, not better,” said Gingrich, who added he intends to carefully explore the details of the new proposal. “A number of leading Catholic intellectuals believe this is worse. It’s certainly worse as a matter of conscience.”
Gingrich said, “I don’t believe President Obama cares anything about what Catholics think,” pointing out that as an Illinois state senator Obama opposed a bill that would have banned partial-birth abortion.
“He has been relentlessly hostile to traditional religions,” charged Gingrich, who is a convert to Catholicism. “I think that his administration doesn’t share any of the values, and they proved that.
“They might temporarily maneuver for the purpose of getting through an election, but I think everybody ought to look at that and say to yourself, ‘What do you think he’ll do (if he wins) the week after the election?’” he added.

I just heard it again by a democrat talking head on Hannity. Obammunism wants to define a church as only the worship event.
They want to amputate church ministries from the church body and pretend it is a separate entity. They want to view the hospitals, schools, centers, colleges, etc. as something other than the Church.
Jesus is his own man when He’s at synagogue preaching, but not when he heals or teaches.
It is grossly, willfully ignorant about the totality of what constitutes Christianity.
