Newt just ate David Gregory’s lunch on this subject on Meet The Press. These idiots just keep serving up the homerun pitch to Newt.

The Catholic bishops have played ball with the Left for many, many years. Now it’s their turn...and they are looking around saying “what just happened”?

Fools.

Guess I missed a (gov't) meeting, because I'm puzzled by a basic concept. Exactly where in the Constitution does it say I am obligated to provide contraception and abortion services to anyone?

Just because someone is poor? That's the gateway Fluke is advocating - that since some people can't afford it Uncle Sam has to step in and provide it for everyone. Why?

By providing (or mandating that ALL businesses provide) Abortion services, the gov't is promoting a lifestyle - one that says you can have sex without consequences. I don't agree with that, why should I be forced to subsidize it? I never knew there was a Constitutional right to be a slut.

It's a free (!) country and casual sex isn't illegal. Neither is drinking (in most cases), but I don't hear anyone claiming they deserve free booze from the US taxpayer. What makes women's "needs" so special?

Obama and the Democrats are not only Forcing Abortion upon the majority of pregnant women in America, they are now Enacting a Policy of Forced Steralization on all but a select few Democratically Desirable American women.

good to hear from a New Englander. It remains to be seen how many react to these events by repenting and how many react by conforming.

I was out-of-town yesterday visiting a parish, and the Monsignor told us to stand down, that it is not a big deal and “everything will be worked out wonderfully.” We’ve been reduced to a situation where the only pastoral leadership in Conn is coming from Linda McMahon.

Get me out of here. Which NH county are you in, if I can ask?

The Catholic Church was once a powerful force for anti-Communism...

But the clergy have been cozzying up to the Left for many years...

Now, they shouldn’t be surprised when the crocodile decides it’s their turn to be eaten...

"How did we get to where we are in the United States? In the words of Archbishop Charles Chaput, spoken in 2009, "40 years of American Catholic complacency and poor formation are bearing exactly the fruit we should have expected...We can't talk about following St. Paul and converting our culture until we sober up and get honest about what we've allowed ourselves to become. We need to stop lying to each other..."

Oh, my is that ever sadly true. Catholics, especially those in the upper middle and upper classes have tried for years to be 'sophisticated', like their Protestant peers, and ditched anything in their faith that smacked to them of rules designed to limit their enjoyment of life, especially the rules regarding sexual morality. They were considered gauche, so they were ignored. As a result, successive generations are not even being taught what the Church teaches on sexual morality, so the attitudes and actions of most of them are no different from any of their non-Catholic peers. This is why we are where we are today regarding the politics of contraception, and especially the HHS mandate to religious institutions.
