This is an excellent statement by the bishop of Sioux City, Iowa, which covers not only the issues of abortion and euthanasia, but the whole concept of a federally imposed health care program. I thought the fact that Abp Rigali seemed to agree was encouraging.

Ping to a statement by a good shepherd!

When you have the time ping.

The Bishop is right on

That’s great but the creepy USCCB came out in favor of “universal” health care and the public option as long as abortion and euthenasia were not covered. They say it’s a “right”. We have a few individual bishops who “get” Obama but the conference as a whole are far left. I’ve stopped all contributions that go outside of my parish. Sunday offereings are 20% owned by the diocese so for the moment I’m limited to the school and “building repair” fund.

I am very heartened by these Bishops starting to speak out against the healthcare bill.
