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.
The USCCB is a horrible organization and the head honchos are mostly the old-line bad bishops. This is particularly true on some of their committees, which is where the true damage is done (such as the “Social Justice Committee”).
I have read that the Pope would like to dissolve the national bishops’ conferences and replace them with some other way for the bishops of a country to stay in touch with each other - but also with Rome. The USCCB obviously thinks of itself as the Vatican of the “American Church,” and this is a serious problem.
You read the USCCB wrong. They stated that there must be no abortion or euthanasia in the bill for them to approve.
You are cherry-picking what you want to bring out, aren’t you?
