Liar, is the kindest term one can use about Carney. Any visit to the USCCB website will show the Bishops support some form of health care reform. They withdrew their support for Obamacare because of concerns over abortion and artificial birth control.

They withdrew their support for Obamacare because of concerns over abortion and artificial birth control.

Actually, there were several bishops who had major concerns with Obamacare due to its violation of the principle of subsidiarity.

Archbishop Neumann (KC KS) and Bishop Finn (KC MO) issued a long statement on it. Archbishop Chaput (formerly Denver, no Phila) spoke at length about it, as did Archbishop Nienstedt (St Paul), Bishops Nickless (Sioux City), Doran (Rockford), Slattery (Tulsa) and Johnston (Springfield-Cape Girardeu) also spoke eloquently as well. I am sure there are others, but those are the ones I remember.

But we never heard that part two years ago.
