The church, of course, is free to have these rules. That’s the real essence of religious freedom: The government won’t interfere with the church’s internal policies and governance...They still can’t seem to speak truth to power.

Nah, liberal politicians would never do anything like that. They would NEVER force Catholic institutions to provide contraception coverage in their insurance policies.

Oops, wait, they did just that. The Dems are not about speaking truth to power. They are about imposing their power on truth.

From the article:
“That’s the real essence of religious freedom: The government won’t interfere with the church’s internal policies and governance. On matters that affect other citizens, though, religious freedom demands respecting the religious views of others as well: Many, many religious people, including many dissenting Catholics, believe their faith supports marriage equality, supports access to reproductive healthcare, supports equal roles for women and LGBT people within the faith.”

In other words, you religious people are free to prattle on within the confines of your buildings’ walls, but don’t you dare try to live out those beliefs in any real way, because that interferes with our right to govern your lives.

I don’t understand why they brought Dolan in, either. It made no sense.

What was he supposed to say? “Oh Lord,we ask you to bless and guide the hands of all abortionists”,I guess.

It’s not like anyone heard it. Unless they were watching Fox. And I don’t think those viewers had a problem with it.

God Bless Cardinal Dolan. The truth needs to heard loud and clear and maybe he got through to some of these heretics.

"It made no sense."

Especially after the NO vote, voiced quite loudly, to include God in their platform.

It’s not that the democrats hate God, it’s just that they’d rather worship Government.

Yet ... liberals have no qualms about inflicting their beliefs on the general populace; for example, the HHS mandate. Sandra Fluke represented the liberal revulsion over the insistence that women, planning an abortion, be required to undergo an ultrasound test.

"An America in which states humiliate women by forcing us to endure invasive ultrasounds we don't want and our doctors say we don't need."

She is all about freedom of speech except for the speechless, unborn victim.

God bless Timothy Cardinal Dolan for stepping into the viper's lair and challenging their beliefs. And this is how the they responded:

Liberals cuss out Archbishop Timothy Cardinal Dolan (Caution: GRAPHIC CONTENT!)

This has be added to the Freeper's Hall of Wisdom. Excellent statement, short, sweet and to the point. Should be made into a bumper sticker.

If you can stand the stench go to the DU and read the thread called "Do y'all really have any idea how devastating it is for LGBT Democrats to see Cardinal Dolan"

There are way over 240 remarks and almost 30 F words just on the reply title.

Yea he got their goat big time Hallelujah...LOL
