WASHINGTON, D.C., May 22, 2012, (LifeSiteNews.com) The Obama administrations HHS mandate has united Christians of all stripes evangelical, historical Protestant, and Roman Catholic as they close ranks behind a flurry of lawsuits filed yesterday morning to overturn the controversial measure and stall government interference in religion.
After 43 Catholic institutions including the major archdioceses, dioceses, universities, and publishing houses affiliated with the Church in the United States filed a dozen lawsuits to strike the measure down on First Amendment grounds, the Christian and conservative communities quickly applauded the move.

A one sided truce? Not likely. It would have to be accompanied by a cessation of the anti-Catholicism on this forum.
And yet Evangelicals are joining Catholics in solidarity in this attack on Obamacare. I doubt Catholics would join Evangelicals in any similar endeavor.
Furthermore, as I have pointed out numerous times, Fundamentalist Protestant FReepers (like Fundamentalist Protestants elsewhere) attack Catholicism from the right. Catholic FReepers (and Catholics elsewhere) choose to respond by attacking Evangelical/Fundamentalist Protestants from the left ("bigots," "fanatics," "small-minded bumpkins not smart enough to join our intellectual urban church," etc.). I wonder if that is how the Pope responded to Martin Luther?
See my last post. Thanks.
May Our Lord always Bless and Keep you in His Holy Arms Padre. You and your constant support of the Eternal Truth has been an inspiration for me (and I believe many) here.
Pax Domini sit semper vobiscum.
I saw your last post. I responded to your last post. That you refuse to respond to mine is a tacit admission that I am right without making an apology.
Things being what they are, I will accept the admission.
As I said, thanks for the admission.
