Military Tells Catholic Chaplains What They Can and Can't Say
Human Events ^ | 2/3/2012 | Jim Hoft

Last week Cardinal-designate Timothy Dolan lashed out at the Obama Administration for forcing religious organizations to go out into the marketplace and buy a product that violates their conscience. The rule would force Christian organizations to provide free contraceptives, sterilizations and abortion drugs to workers even though this violates Catholic Church teaching. The new rules are so strict that most Catholic institutions will not qualify for an exem

Continue attacks on our Christian faith and the foundation of our country. This idiot needs to be removed from office this year. I would hate to see what this country would be like if obozo is re-elected.

what part of freedom of religion do they not understand or like.

It cannot be more perfectly clear, in the 1st amendment but it also shows that overturning don’;t ask was another step in their socialist agenda and for those around the country saying openly serving homosexuals is no bit issues then they better wake up and see how now religion and the military is under attack

Romney and obama have to be defeated, we just cannot take 4 more years of this socialist and cowardly acts’

It will be an absolute disaster. It’s bad enough now but he will become a dictator if reelected.

The above link will take you to the oath all military take when they join.

Any military person worth with ethics would refuse to follow an order to defy the Constitution, which in this case involves freedom of religion.

We’re now in a Marxist dominated Oligarchy. The opposition to all his (Obama’s) treachery is minimal and not effective and is mostly for show. Corruption on all sides is to the core.

The Freedom part. The of part. The Religion part.

That pretty much covers it.

1st Amendment says "Congress shall make no law..."

2nd Amendment says "...shall not be infringed".

Even with 14th Amendment incorporation (debatable), States can't make Congress make a federal law about establishing a religion.

But strictly speaking, I think states can (and actually did, for years).

But "... shall not be infringed" seems to cover fedgov and states.

But this is like kicking a dead whale down the beach.

We lost over 100 years ago.

All we can do now is try to resurrect a real Constitutional Republic.

Yes: I believe you are right.

For far too long in America, we have been led by corrupt career politicians. Why, there isn’t over 50 of what I would call Patriots in the whole of the Congress.

A few of them might have started out all right, but they most have been corrupted, by money, power, and perks.

As long ass there are people who can build Millions to stay in office it will never stop.

We need to have all left over Campaign funds turned over to the IRS so that all candidates start our fairly,and we need term limits, and we need it bad.

now now, that would be silly, he said we have to respect their religion and give the their food while in prison.

You know what, how can anyone on the left still support this guy.

I mean this is amongst others a direct assault on the constitution and even lefty’;s up in the north east they must surely see Catholics under attack, their is no justification for this unless they openly say they hate Catholics and the constitution

For way too many years the Catholic church has looked the pther way as Democrats in office who were also Catholics have supported abortion and the Catholic Church stood by and kept it’s mouth shut as millions of babies were murdered. Happy that the Kerry’s, Kennedy’s and Pelosi’s were members of the Catholic faith.

For 50 years the Cathloc Church has supported illegal immigration to the extent they aid those who are already here, and encourage more to come here.

For as long as I can remember the Catholic Church has supported an New World Order, a one world financial system to redistribute wealth, and has supported socialism.

Now they find themselves reaping th eharvest they have sown with the socialists they have helped to put in power. The Democrat socialists recieved 54% of the Catholic vote.

I for one will do NOTHING to aid the Catholic Church as long as they continue to support the above issues and continue to allow pro-abortion democrats in their ranks.

God will judge those who supported abortion, IF the Catholic Church is for God then they need to make a stand, otherwise they will fall.

They have reaped the wind and are reaping the whirlwind, so be it.
