I think the flyer is a secret.99% chance I don’t get one at Mass today.Thank goodness the March For Life is not in the hands of the Bishops.

In other words, HHS will ignore it until/unless Catholics vote for Obama.

Sad thing is, it will probably work. American people can't focus that long, and most women nation wide in and out of the Catholic church are for the contraception mandate.

The Church is just getting what happens to EVERYONE who takes money from the government.

The HHS mandate has nothing to do with taking money from the government. It's being imposed on every employer in the US, whether they have anything to do with taking government money, or not.

[NVDave]

The inability to defend themselves against the mandate in a court case will rest entirely on the issue of taking money from the government.

If their hospitals were self-insured (which many are) and they accepted no money from the federal government, they’d be on much firmer ground to challenge any mandate.

Did not show up in mine?

Although we did have a fiery homily about following Church doctrine.

Surprise!No flyer from the Bishops at Mass today.The laity must keep the pressure on the Bishops.With the help of the Baptists and other religious groups we will win this fight.

We actually got it last Sunday in our parish.
