RC's did this to themselves. They elected this guy. They backed his take over of healthcare. 55% of RC's that voted did so for obama. Also, the RCC has no history of defending the religious liberty of Evangelical Christians and their churches. So it's a bit much when the cry goes out to defend the RCC because it might happen to you.
So the point is fairly obvious, clean up the mess you created.
So you are ok circumventing the Constitution for Catholics??
Very Christian AND certainly very conservative /s
As an Evangelical, I believe you make some decent points about the voting patterns of modern Catholics and the history of the RCC NOT respecting the religious liberties of others.
That said, I believe we should back the Catholics 100% on this, because:
a) It is simply the right thing to do.
b) As someone else pointed out, if this is allowed to stand they will be coming for us next, and will try to legally compell us to do things that are abhorrent to our faith. Even if the RCC helped create the mess, it is in our interest to help clean it up.
I’d also add, that while I have extreme problems with many elements of RCC Theology and practices, we shouldn’t blame the conservative members of the RCC (who are probably the ones who regularly show up for church) for the warped political leanings of their fellow Catholics, who probably frustrate them even more than they do us.
The majority of Americans elected him. Should we just all roll over and let Obama do whatever he wants now because we elected him?
