Catholic ping!
BTTT
You know what? This is a very slippery slope. While I am a devout Catholic and do not in any way, shape or form support abortion, if the law of the land is that religious beliefs prevail, we are more likely than not to get taken over by Islam. I don’t know what is the answer. I would have to analyze it some. There has to be an answer.
We need Catholics like you like we need Roberts.
Stand and be counted, or leave. Decide.
If you love contraception that much, we don’t need you.
The 0bama crowd created a real mess! Only by standing up the the marxists can we hope to regain some freedom.
The order sends a message that the religious beliefs of employers must be respected by the government, said Francis Manion, Senior Counsel of the American Center for Law and Justice.

Go Jay!
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
What part of Congress shall enact no law that you do not understand?
They are not about to oppose the government ~ and that's what this is about, the imposition of government moral values on private individuals in violation of their own religious beliefs ~ see FIRST AMENDMENT.
Now, for why that's important, see SECOND AMENDMENT. The Huguenots refused to stack arms at the completion of the French Religious Wars. That kept them in business another century. Today both Protestants and Catholics agree there are limits on state intrusion into religious and moral issues.
From Catholic Vote email:
Dear Friend of CV,
Wow!
Within hours of sending our email message yesterday, we got the news.
The Federal Court of Appeals for the 8th Circuit in St. Louis last night agreed to block the implementation of the HHS Mandate against our client Catholic businessman Frank OBrien while we pursue our appeal of the lower court decision.
Praise God!
The court agreed with our request to put the breaks on the mandate while we challenge its constitutionality and pursue our case to restore religious freedom.
Why do you have such a tagline as to deny Jesus Christ?
well I didn’t specify contraception, but I don’t approve of it either. And you do need Catholics like me, I think sex is for marriage, for procreation.
If you have the answer to my unanswered question, spit it out. My question is a very real concern. If we are going to allow moslems to exercise their freedom of religion, it includes murdering infidels, now do you get it? Can Congress enact a law prohibiting murders of infidels? Think, junior, think
“My question is a very real concern. If we are going to allow moslems to exercise their freedom of religion, it includes murdering infidels, now do you get it? Can Congress enact a law prohibiting murders of infidels? Think, junior, think”
We no longer have that luxury to be concerned about future battles. Our faith is under direct assault now by this current administration. Are you going to stand and be counted?
Then Hobby Lobby should get the same - seems two different courts- two different answers. another 0bamacare challenge going to scotus?
you were a little hard on him/her....that person was merely reminding us that if all religious arguements recieve equal consideration, Islam will give us a zillion headaches to deal with.
tell me how to “stand and be counted”, but I don’t think short sightedness benefits us. If I could find a conservative Catholic company to work for I would be overjoyed. I am on the other side of the state in Kansas City, where I would guess most of the Catholics voted Democrat.
Your example is pretty outlandish.
Islam and Sharia demands that certain hardships be imposed on non-Muslims. Our constitution protects us, the non-Muslims in this case. Muslims hate our Constitution for this reason.
