The E-Mail specifically asks that no parish opt out of this initiative. The bishops are urging all parishes to insert a document into all parish bulletins across the country. The pdf of the file is here.

Tell Congress: Remove Abortion Funding & Mandates from Needed Health Care Reform

Hey knuckleheads! Tell Congress: Remove Health Care Reform!

Show me just one Catholic bishop who will speak up against coveting your neighbors’ goods. That is why Catholics ignored the Bishops on abortion. They know abortion is wrong but overlooked the Dems on that point because those same politicians pandered to their covetousness. Same for protestants and evangelical pastors, leaders and activists. American politics and government at all levels is driven by government-mediated coveting. Until the Church takes a stand against this we can expect to sink deeper and deeper into socialism and, oh yeah, abortion.

They keep telling us that this church (and others) are not preaching socialism from the pulpits, but their own press releases make it clear.

Once the abortion issue is off the table, they’re gonna have to answer some REAL questions.
