ABOUT TIME.
But..Are the Bishops a day late and a dollar short? That is the questions.
Will THEY be targeted as hate mongers because of THEIR disagreement with the Dums?

Good to see that Catholic Bishops decided to be Catholic again.

This is great — what better message for All Souls’/Saints’ Day.

They should consider a repeat for Sanctity of Life Sunday when conservative evangelical churches are also emphasizing the issue.

...and yet, NONE of those in charge of this fiasco in public office (Nancy Pelosi, DeadTed Kennedy, John F’n Kerry, etc.) are excommunicated to prove to the world that the Church means what it says. :*(

“All hat and no cattle”—these Bishops probably mean well, but I seriously doubt after all these years of ‘protesting’ that it will make a bit of difference to San Fran Gran Nan or any other liberal Catholic member of Congress who endorse and promote abortion. :*(

This massive and urgent appeal
may be unprecedented
in the history of the United States.
It is an effort to mobilize the Catholic faithful
on an urgent matter of public policy
concerning the fundamental and foundational
human right to life.

This Bishops' statement on Health Care Reform is to be be printed or hand-stuffed in every parish bulletin and/or distributed in pews or at ALL church entrances THIS SUNDAY.

The message is to be announced at all Masses THIS SUNDAY.

The following petition is to be used in the Prayer of the Faithful at all Masses THIS SUNDAY:

That Congress will act to ensure that needed health care reform will truly protect the life, dignity and health care of all and that we will raise our voices to protect the unborn and the most vulnerable and to preserve our freedom of conscience. We pray to the Lord.


Action


Health care reform could be voted on as early as next week. These materials need to be in the hands of Catholics starting this weekend. Thank you for your efforts in getting the word out.


Note: I'm, personally, not interested in a lot of chat about "This isn't the exact message I would have chosen" or "This isn't the proven best tactic" or "Why didn't they do this two months ago" or "The USCCB sucks moldy citrus" or "Why doesn't the Pope excommunicate ... followed by a list the length of the Boston phone directory and bolding your own particular favorites.

The fact is, if 1/10 of the Catholics (joined by 1/10 of the non-Catholic pro-life people) act on this, it will

BLAST AWAY THIS BLASTED BOGUS HEALTH REFORM BILL.
Why?

Because if a Life/Conscience amendment is demanded by, oh, say, 6 - 10 million voters, and the ghastly Madame Pelosi blocks it from going to a floor vote, people will raise holy hell and the Stupak-prolife-BlueDog-center section of Dems in the House will revolt. ALL of them? No. But enough to kill the bill. We're in scoring distance of that outcome now.

If a Life/Conscience amendment is, in fact, brought up, it will pass ---and the Left will kill the bill.

"Heck, it's worth a try." Thus saith Mrs. Don-o.

Please act, please make this as big as possible as fast as possible.

If you wish to be removed from my Ping List, please PERSONAL MESSAGE ME. I'm asking for PERSONAL MESSAGE so I see it and act on it promptly.

Thank you.

Do not send me anymore of your religious crap. I am not interested.

I believe in God, but not because of you missionary type fanatics.

You would have loved the Spaniards when they killed many Indians because they were not Christians.

Stay out my life you obsessive religious nuts.
