“The Catholics showed up...”

I don’t understand why there’s so much focus on the “Catholic” issue and I’m a little tired of it. Yes; the subject at hand is specific to contraception, but contraception, healthcare, etc., isn’t the issue. The Main Thing is having the government presume to intrude into Americans’ faith in any way, shape, or form. Hussein stepping on religious liberty is the worst thing he’s ever done.

I’m Baptist, and have no problem with contraception. In fact, I embraced it for decades, planning — and succeeding — to remain childless. But this dictate by Dear Leader that forces Catholics to go against their faith has me absolutely livid! He has offended EVERY religion. Protestants and Jews are just as upset as the Catholic priests are; we need to hear from ALL of them so people understand how widespread the blowback is. The press, including Fox, treats this as a Catholic-specific issue.

Agree, but I certainly do not hear other religions speaking out? With all the division created by this administration, it sure would be nice to see all religions unite for the sake of our freedom. The Catholics are making noise and sending a strong message to Obama...”let’s unite”

Thank you for emphasizing that point. It's a fundamental issue of religious freedom.

Even Democrats are being shocked into realizing that Obama does want to impose secularism on America and destroy or undermine bedrock institutions like churches & the military.
