The point of the article is that although the Church objected to federal funding for abortion, it tried to implement healthcare “reform” through a fatally flawed President

So the Catholic Church tried to implement health care reform in the U.S.?

Wow, I guess that gets Obama, the Democrats, and the American voters who elected them off the hook.

It sure doesn't take long before the anti-Catholic reflexes of the right rear up to match those of the left, does it?

Fact: The Catholic bishops opposed the law that was finally passed. Publicly. Repeatedly.

Fact: Judas Stupak today basically said that his vote was none of the Church's business.

Fact: Plenty of Catholics -- elected and not, ordained and not -- opposed this bill. Just as one example: John Boehner, who gave that heroic speech against the bill in the well of the house, is a Roman Catholic. You would never, ever know it from the garbage we read on this site.

Do all of you know what a "scapegoat" is?

We reiterate that we are not anti-Catholic and in fact admire the Church.

It is true, however, that the Church has been pushing for universal healthcare and that the majority of Catholics voted for Obama as a means to achieve “social justice”.

In so doing, they inadvertently made a pact with someone who in reality does not share their views about the sanctity of life.

Well, according to several Catholics with whom I've debated on Free Republic, it's a mistranslation in the King James Bible, that was picked up from Tyndale, lol.
