The Obama administration last week week attempted to argue that Catholic bishops didn’t oppose the Senate version of the ObamaCare bill as a way of “proving” that the bill won’t fund abortions. The US Conference of Catholic Bishops has responded by asking parishes to post and/or read aloud a statement that clarifies their position on the bill, which is adamant opposition. In the statement that many Catholic parishioners will find greeting them as they attend Mass, the USCCB not only declares its opposition but also urges Catholics to contact their elected representatives in Washington to stop it:

Finally. What’s taken them so long...I guess better late than never...
Thank you
But they do and the church has done NOTHING.
Which reminds me of a story about a snake named Jake who's job it was to guard a lever that if pulled would end the world... long story.
Whoops, the snake was named Nate, not Jake.........
Every Sunday, if they even go to Mass, non-cafeteria Catholics have a chance to talk to their pastor. Put a note in the envelope that says this is the last contribution untril you proclaim the right to life from the pulpit and deny Commununion to those politicians who support abortion. Watch what happens. How many Catholic tea party people are out there?
If America’a Catholics voted their faith, Obamacare would be dead and millions would live.
Every now and then the USSRCCCB surprises me...
If you read their statement, it sounds as if the only problem they have with obamacare is abortion. Take that out and I think they are on board.
LOL..
I say leave the ultimate health care decisions where they belong: WITH GOD! You are always free to PRAY TO DOCTOR GOD for healing. God’s healing can come through direct miracles or by God’s direction to charities and health care providers to help you.
Can’t pay the doc? maybe you should have planned better and saved your money or bought health insurance. If you didn’t, then, you’d better hope the doc FREELY CHOOSES to help you at no charge because you have ZERO claim on his services as a “right.” Otherwise, your next line of defense is charity — which should be REAL charity based on donations freely made and not FORCED taxation.
When all else fails, there is nothing to keep you from treating yourself for your own ailments. Making ME pay should not be on the table.
Bottom line: If you TRUST IN GOD, then you can be sure that He WILL MAKE THE RIGHT DECISION and bring you what you need/deserve when you need/deserve it — even if it isn’t what you THINK you want.
Freedom always involves risk. And yes, some people will get more than others. But that is a SMALL price to pay for LIBERTY! We need to get the government 100% OUT of health care!
In the end, free people are called to live with the consequences of their OWN ACTIONS and the judgement of ALMIGHTY GOD. Government has NO RIGHT to interfere with that process!
Yes, I WOULD rather die than receive KenyanCare. Absolutely. God has more wisdom than all the death panels put together!
Abortion is a benign PC word call it what it is. GENOCIDE: the deliberate and systematic extermination of a national, racial, political, or cultural group. Add the UNBORN to the list. Granny, gramps and the disabled are next on 0 list.
Soylent Green, You Tube has many more scenes...worth watching a few.

Code Red” - House Target List on Health Care
The National Republican Congressional Committee has published a target list on health care. In addition to continuing to contact the five Tennessee Democrat Congressmen, you can go http://www.votervoice.net/link/clickthrough/ext/94697.aspx to contact some of these targets. Much of the talk following Obama’s announcement has focused on how to defeat this second bill through reconciliation, but that is misleading because the first step to defeating Obamacare is not by concentrating on defeating the “fixer” bill but by defeating the Senate bill in the House when it goes to the floor for an up-or-down vote on Thursday, March 18th.

And here are toll-free numbers we can use to call any Senators or Reps.
At the first number below you must wait through a tape recording urging you to tell your Rep or Senator to vote “yes” for the health care bill. Just hang on and when the recording is over, you will get the Capitol operator. Just ask for your Rep or Senator’s office. Then you will either talk to an aid or have the chance to leave a message for him/her to vote NO on the health care bill.
When you use the second number and the Capitol operator comes on, just ask for your Rep or Senator’s office. Every time I use this number I get the Rep or Senator’s answer machine, so it may be set up that way all the time...to go to their answer machine. Either way you can leave a message to vote NO on the health care bill!
We need to use these toll free numbers that have been set up for the health care/ BO supporters and illegals to use! After all they are FREE!

It’s not just the Catholic church, none of them do it. To afraid of getting their 501C3’s yanked.
What’s taken the Catholic Bishops so long? Perhaps I’ve missed it but where are the leaders of the other denominations in speaking out against this?
Well I guess it’s just me and I am Catholic. I just wanted to hear my church come down against this. I hear it at mass, but nothing in the news. Finally they have found their voices...
Amen.
Yep..thanks for kissing Obama’s tail end Notre Dame...how is that working out for you? I hope an Obama voter is the first to do jail time for not buying the “Romans insurance”.
