27.7 million Catholics in the US.
Obama has just lost the election.

would like to see the age breakdown. Many big city older catholics are life
long democrats, influenced by John Kennedy memories.

To them he was the Irish Catholic saint.

Of course before all the revelations.

This speech by Newt is the source of what this is about:

Newt Gingrich Slams Mitt Romney as “Fundamentally Dishonest” in Nevada Press Conference; Says He Can be Frontrunner Again by the April 3 Texas Primary – Complete Video 2/4/12

http://freedomslighthouse.net/2012/02/04/newt-gingrich-slams-mitt-romney-as-fundamentally-dishonest-in-nevada-press-conference-says-he-can-be-frontrunner-again-by-the-april-3-texas-primary-complete-video-2412/

At 9:38 minutes in the video he makes this statement:

Newt Gingrich: “The Obama administration has declared war on religious freedom in this country”

Newt is correct.

in fact he is at war with all Christians.

Correct. See my post #24. In the video which I listed the link for is that exact statement from Newt. He also mentions the Catholic aspect of the excess of the Obozo Administration.

Apologies...

The figure should be 77.7 million Catholics in the USA.

Abortion, gay rights and environmentalism. The ‘sacraments’ of Baal worship remain unchanged.

Fortunately we do have some very strong priests out here in the midwest.

Our priest, Father George, really hammered this issue home last week during the reading of the bishop's letter, opposing the latest action by the Obama administration.

On Relevant Radio, Catholic radio, Father Richard Simons, also blasted the latest HHS initiative.

They're out there... these men of Christ.

I must say that it was a sweet surprise how [even] liberal “Catholic” M. Shields criticized Obama on PBS...

A lot of nominal Catholics won't care.

If Obama thinks he is losing votes over this, he can make noises as if he is reversing this policy, while hammering away at issues where the bishops agree with him (amnesty, etc.), then after the re-election go back on his word.

They are preaching to the faithful. Who will tell the MSM and the Dems that we aren’t going to stand for this anymore?

Jerry Pournelle had an interesting anecdote in his commentary on this move by Obama. It is worth posting here:

“Some years ago the California legislature contemplated a law that would require any hospital that had a maternity ward to perform abortions on demand.

The elderly Mother Superior who ran St. Joseph’s hospital went to the legislature and said as follows:

‘I am as abbess of the order that owns this hospital a corporation sole, and I own this hospital. If you pass this law I will send all the patients to other hospitals, discharge the staff, cancel all the insurance policies, and order the demolition of all the buildings. Thank you.’

Now she was very much of the Old School, and no one doubted she meant every word of it. The law never got to the floor of the assembly. I have no idea what President Obama thinks he is doing here, but I cannot see how this will help him be reelected.”

Hopefully today’s clergy will awaken the laity en mass.

Fantastic post...

Obama's NASA Legacy....

End the Shuttle, Muslim outreach, Constantly hitching rides with Russians, and the destruction of a "Nerdy" culture via force reduction which I might add was probably of mostly European decent.

Submission Accomplished...

My friend that is the point, Obama wants her to do these things, especially cancel the policies.. Just like in Mass ( gee I wonder who as from their ) when the Chruch said no mas to "adoption" policies they couldn't live with and walked away from that sector of their work.

I am convinced as many others here, that Obamacare is step one on the way to total governmental "nationalized" health care. He has to have it fail to collapse in their laps.

Getting the Catholic Churches out of the way gives him no competition to his one "godness" which is him and statism. No Hospital that has a conscience, Their medicine will have no soul.

Now in regards to re-election, I have to think they have a game plan that excludes Catholics as they did blue collar workers, this is the 2nd group they have tossed out. I fear what they will do to win, It has to be cheating of some horendous magnitude.

The bottom line, they have pissed off Catholics beyond belief, and they don't seem to care, the arrogance is astonishing.

What is worse is, I saw it coming and got my @$$ handed to me hear when I predicted with the Stupak deal it was over to bring the Catholics aboard. Little did I know it was a bunch of renegade Nuns that drove this, not anyone else in the power structure as I can tell. The Obamaton's lied to them, they are ticked, and they are not going to let this one go...
