He [nobama] has basically declared war on the Catholic church.

IMHO, there's no "basically" about it. It is a frontal, all out assault!

I agree it is an all out assault. I thought to myself, if these organizations were Muzzie, instead of Catholic, he and Sebilus NEVER would have done this.

The Admin even got to the Catholic priests in the military (separation of church and state only when it’s convenient for the Dims), their reasoning (excuse) seems to be in the last line):

Military Is Telling Catholic Chaplains What They Can And Can’t Say About the Obama Administration
Business Insider ^ | Feb 3, 2012 | Michael Brendan Dougherty

All the bishops in the country sent out a letter to be read in their parishes promising that the Church “cannot-and will not-comply with this unjust law.”

Even Archbishop Timothy Broglio, who is in charge of Catholic military chaplains sent out the same letter.

But after he did, the Army’s Office of the Chief of Chaplains sent out another communication forbidding Catholic priests to read the letter, in part because it seemed to encourage civil disobedience, and could be read as seditious against the Commander-in-Chief.

More than one Catholic chaplain who spoke to us off the record confirmed that many chaplains disobeyed this instruction and read the letter anyway.

The letter also tries to clarify to priests that the Archbishop’s letter “concerns a moral, not a political issue.”

While it is true that soldiers do not have an unlimited right to free speech or political action, the military does not want to strain relations with the Catholic Church and its chaplains who provide services to many service members of all faiths.
