Latest House CR Funds and Permits Obamacare’s Attack on Free Exercise of Catholicism

The last version of the continuing resolution that House Speaker John Boehner (R.-Ohio) pushed through the Republican-controlled House of Representatives on Monday—and that the Democrat-controlled Senate summarily rejected—surrendered a position that House Republicans had taken in the previous CR that protected Americans from being forced by an Obamacare regulation to act against their moral or religious convictions.

The Obamacare regulation in question effectively prohibits American Catholics from freely practicing their faith in the way they live their daily lives.

Indeed, the Catholic bishops of the United States have unanimously declared this regulation an “unjust and illegal mandate” and “a violation of personal civil rights.”

Many of the nation’s Catholic bishops have also publicly declared in writing that they “will not obey it.” …

It’s an attack on freedom of religion...and people had better WAKE UP!

And what do the RINO wimps get for their gutless pusillanimity?

. . . Three days after the bishops delivered this letter, the House voted to include Blackburn’s conscience-protection language in the CR. Four days after the bishops delivered this letter, the House leadership stripped this conscience-protection language from the latest version of the CR the House passed on Monday.

The Democratically controlled Senate rejected both CRs—the one that protected religious freedom and the one that didn’t.

If only these same bishops were equally opposed to the Obama Administration’s de facto open borders and push for Amnesty.

Good point about Republican spinelessness. The cave on conscience-protection language got them nothing.

Dumb of the RINOs. Really dumb.

I said from the beginning that the Republicans, including most of the Tea Party guys that were elected with so much hope, would use this to come off as badly as they possibly could. They will give up everything and accept, not be smeared with, but rather proclaim that the shutdown was unconscionable and that it is the Republicans' fault. The Social Democrats will come out of this with more than they went in with. That is the kind of "compromise" the Republicans are eager to participate in. Remember we have no input anymore. NSA and its users has all the input.

In the absence of a counter proposal, just who are republicans negotiating with?
