Cardinal Dolan, you’re unbelievable. If you’d been telling Catholics to hold their duly elected representatives to account for the laws they are voting on; if you’d told them to participate in the democratic process of America as is their constitutional right, then you wouldn’t have to use them as pawns in your pissing war with barak obama by suggesting “civil disobedience”

Actually I think this is pretty funny, the Catholic Church has been abd is in bed with the International Socialists and their New World Order, now they find the snake has bitten them.

Sleep with dogs, wake up with fleas. I’ll bet the Catholic Church will still support the New World Order and socialism.

You can throw me in for a couple bucks, too.

Well put; Obama wouldn’t have been elected without their complicity. While I think their fight is better late than never, I’d still be leery of how they water down Rome’s messages about abortion (in fairness to Dolan, I don’t think he was in that job yet when that occurred in 2008).

Just as I suspect that the Mormon elders have also made their... calculations.

I’d like the Bishops to handle the civil disobedience, thanks, because they don’t have ten children, as a rule. (St. John Fisher, anyone? Who wants to live forever, anyway?)

I’m not Catholic (an “adrift” Episcopalian) ... but I would join these folks in a heartbeat.

You and all other religious groups had better join in.

This isn’t a war on catholics, it is a war on religion, all religion. Catholics are just bearing the brunt of it rioght now, but you can bet it is coming to others soon.

The ACLU suing to have crosses removed from all public property, the Homosexual attack on Marriage,The murders of innocents, the attacks on the 2nd amendment it is all coming together in a big jigsaw puzzle that ends with Socialism, Communism lack of morality and a generalplan of destruction of what America is.

Certainly the Catholic Church is late in coming out, and certainly they are still only crying about Contraception now, but this is just the beginning, and all faiths had better start getting ready.

You have babies, I have teenagers.
We’ll stand in for you.

Our Defenders of Life are already going to be at the main protests here in MI. Yellow balloons and all.

If I just had the teenagers, we’d be in the front lines. My teenagers are very militant. However, at any sort of protest event, there wouldn’t have to be any leftist violence (although we’ve seen that), because my little boys would just run in front of a truck!

No NC FReeper will forget Pat’s solemnly lecturing the police horses (one at a time, with excellent manners) at the counter-protest to the Fayetteville “anti-war” march ... but there were assaults on our people in our permitted area within a few yards of me and whatever baby it was, James I guess. DP hasn’t let me do anything other than local poll campaigning since then.

“This isn’t a war on catholics, it is a war on religion, all religion.”

Yeah, first they will mandate contraception in direct assault against Catholics.

Then they will ban:

home schooling,
serving communion without a restaurant license,
public reading of the Bible because it is homophobic,
all evangelism because it is intolerant and might offend Muslims,
pastors from mentioning elections or candidates.

Then they will require teaching gay history,
tax churches,
zone churches to obscure regions,
declare that home bible studies are “churches” and thus forbidden,
establish government monitors to attend churches to make sure no anti gay, intolerance or “racism” is taught.
and more.
