Sadly, if it weren’t for abortions and birth control the Church would have no problem with obamacare. The USCCB laid down with dogs and are now waking up with flees. I wish I’d kept the bulletin insert our former bishop created for the 2008 elections. He wrote that Catholics should keep in mind the universal right to affordable healthcare and the understanding that no human is illegal.

Perfectly stated.

“Sadly, if it weren’t for abortions and birth control the Church would have no problem with obamacare”

My bet is that a goodly number of “catholics” still have no problem with abortion and birth control—if they’re anything like my mother who, I imagine, will have signs in her yard once again for the LIAR in chief.

This didn’t go so well in my church this weekend.

The priest got up and gave some wishy wash stuff about how he wasn’t weighing in on politics and healthcare (so as not to offend any Sandra Flukes in the audience).. Just that the government needed to respect the church. Then he used as his centerpiece the Alabama immigration law and said how the “state” down there put in a law that prevents the church from allowing “undocumented peoples” from attending mass and receiving communion. .

He turned the whole directive of the archbishop into a personal message on how we need to welcome all the illegals into America.

Exactly.

The Catholic Church is, at it’s heart and soul, liberal and socialist. Their “social justice” doctrine fits hand-and-glove into post-60’s Democratic politics.

They’re just having a little spat because they’re being told what to do, and “no one” tells The Church what to do.... because they’re “The Church.”

Yep The Bishops by and large are social workers pushing socialism

Do understand that the bishops'conference are divided on many political and even some ecclesiastical issues that relate to this and other matters.Some are don’t want to believe the idea that the Democratic Party is becoming the secular party, as much so as any party in Europe. Others know, but their views are very like those dotty nuns that are driving around the country protesting Republican “cuts” in food stamps. A growing number are trying to break the informal alliance with the liberal Democrats that began under Bernardin.
