"Another untold story is how, despite a disagreement over abortion, the U.S. Catholic Bishops and the Obama Administration agree on major aspects of so-called health care reform."

No, the untold story is that the National Conference of Catholic Bishops is not comprised of bishops at all, but only teams of bureauocrats who supposedly represent the bishops. But the bishops do not like what the NCCB members have said about Obama's health care and have called a special meeting of BISHOPS to discuss what the NCCB have said. Apparently, many of the Bishops reject Obama's health plan outright. But ALL of them reject any health care bill that would allow for the public funding of abortion. I believe the Catholic Church has been the most outspoken group AGAINST Obamacare.

The official line that I've heard in church for the last month is that the "health care" bill doesn't do enough for poor and illegal immigrants and of course they don't like abortion in it.
