Our shepherds have remained silent too long. May the Mercy of God (not the justice we deserve) grant dreams to each member of Congress to awaken their consciences and give them a vision of the future they are crafting for this nation and the courage to act on that knowledge.

The sad part is that if they had dealt fairly with the republicans, they could have passed a reasonable and centrist health care plan that could get 75% of the vote in congress. This is an awful bill, good bills don’t need this type of force to get them passed.

(“For decades,” the letter says, “the United States Catholic bishops have supported universal health care. The Catholic Church teaches that health care is a basic human right, essential for human life and dignity.” )

Once you’re ok with something being imposed by the Government, you have no control over what else will be imposed. The Catholic Church should have known better than to support socialism.

This is so in your face, surely the bishops will act against any politician who votes yes and claims to be Catholic.
Will this finally be the tipping point?

The bishops have lost all credibility. The left, which used CCHD to get themselves elected via ACORN and the like, mocks their very “office”. The right sees them as pathetic statists. As believing Catholic, I am ashamed of them.

Those that voted for the Obamacare are not Christians.

I think they would rather worship Allah.

I know Obama does.

the Bishop’s words have no teeth.

They allow any Catholic to endorse killing babies and never throw them out. Ever.

Pelosi should have been excommunicated long ago. Since she wasn’t, they effectively communicated that it really doesn’t matter.
