Here’s something you need to understand. If the U.S. Bishops had opposed Obamacare from the git-go, we wouldn’t be in this predicament would we? Just ask Judie Brown of the American Life League, she’ll tell you the same thing. When Humanae Vitae, written by Pope Paul VI, was released in 1968, many wicked clergy in Church were working against it. That document alienated many Bishops and priests, and lay people alike all over the U.S. And that was a generation ago wasn’t it?

Not to mention Michael Voris of RealCatholicTV reports that 98% of Catholics contracept and are using some form of birth control. Is it any wonder that we’re in the mess we are in right now? The heirarchy are largely to blame for this big mess that we are in right now. Now the heirarchy can’t be soley blamed, but they bare the majority of the responsibility. I forget which Church father said this, but the road to hell is paved with the skulls of bishops and priests. Something along those I think.

The question remains to we have the will to fight? Now that remains to be seen. Personally, I don’t think we do. But that’s just my opinion. But the facts speak for themselves.

I don't know, but Chaucer wrote (paraprase) that if you go to hell you won't see any bishops or priests because they're in a special place. To find them you have to lift up the devil's tail and shine a light up his arse, and there you'll find them. I kid you not.

John Chrystostom is the man you are looking for.

Apparently that can't be reliably attributed to any particular source: http://www.johnsanidopoulos.com/2010/11/is-road-to-hell-paved-with-skulls-of.html
