“Think about it. What is the the USCCB’s objection to Obama’s Health Control? That is imposes mandates upon Catholics. So their position is:

Mandates for thee, but not for me.”

Before you post such a false statement, you ought to go directly to the statements from Cardinal Dolan about the HHS mandate. It is very clear that their objection is against such governmental mandates for every person of conscience; (not just Catholics, and not just the institutions, but all businesses where the owner clearly has a consciencious objection to the mandate.

The entire monstrosity is a compendium of mandates, of which the contraceptive mandate is but one. The USCCB is perfectly fine with the government having the power to mandate individuals to purchase state-approved insurance. They only objected to the particular mandate that only affects Catholics, and indeed a tiny portion of Catholics—those that actually follow Catholic teaching. Really, how many non-Catholics or non-devout Catholics give a flying fig about birth control?
