You have hit the nail right on the thumb.

Either I should say Go Cardinal Dolan and the Bishops!
or God bless Cardinal Dolan and the Bishops!
Take your pick. LOL!
Then how about their communication director who came through last year with a couple of dumb answers?
I still think — the whole scene of the Bishops is changing. Benedict has his thumb on them. Stay tuned.
The bishops have compromised their authority by supporting Democrats and kowtowing to government demands for decades. They think the bishops are too far compromised to be followed by their congregations. I pray they are wrong... but they are not very far wrong.
May God save us.
slowly but surely since the late 70s,every single Catholic hospital in nyc closed down and many of us believe it was due to the “selectively” slow rate of medicaid reimbursement to these institutions along with them taking any and every uninsured patient .
Now some will say it was due to mismanagement but then how are Bellevue,Coney Island and all the rest of nyc HHC staying open with their track record of waste etc ?
The closure of the last one standing at that time,StVincents remains grievous.
bumping for later
Neither you, Simon, nor the fifty thousand, nor the Romans, nor the Jews, nor Judas, nor the twelve, nor the priests, nor the scribes, nor doomed Jerusalem itself,
understand what power is,
understand what glory is,
understand at all.
Bump
great photo. looks like he’s telling Satan to beat it.
We are ALL obligated to support Cardinal Dolan & our Bishops with prayers, fasting, alms-giving & righteousness. The Cardinal is a big man but he needs our support when carrying the Cross for all of us, >especially in this battle with beelzebub.
This is scary because Romney would make it a moot point by not discussing the issue of relgious freedoms in this case but enforcing the gay mandate while the GOP would sit there and do nothing because an alleged GOP member is doing it.
If you mean non-Catholic Christians, they didn't vote for Obama in the first place, of course they are against him. They are "guaranteed" to vote against him in 2012, Catholics will probably vote for Obama and his policies.
They're forging ahead with it even now. It looks like the Catholics (and other Christians) will get a chance to exercise some Biblicly-ordained disobedience.
The loss of services to the general public will be spun as due to the narrow mindedness of religious organizations in not wanting to follow rules that everyone else does and that have wide support from the public. The loss of health care services from Catholic and other religious providers will sew chaos and will accelerate the imposition of a single payer system, the ultimate goal of Obama and his minions.
The twelve began to understand when the tongues of the Spirit rested on them on Pentecost.
The rosary wouldn’t hurt either...Our Blessed Mother repeatedly has asked us to pray for peace. and she does have her Son’s ear!
You have hit the nail right on the thumb.
I wish I saw more protestant pastors standing up with their Catholic brothers at rallies.
Protestant pastors are more democratic and will “go along to get along”. Catholic Bishops get their marching orders from Pope and will fall in line.
Obama is a berserker, he doesn’t care one bit about the effects of his actions. Obama and the Democrats consider his re-election a done deal ordained by some secular power greater than God.
The "Spirit of Vatican II" has been muted. Church discipline has been restored. B16 and his Bishops call the shots. It's a new day.
I really find myself rocking back and forth between hope and despair in all of this.
When the Soros administration really ramped up on this mandate not too long ago, I found myself wondering why they would want to rile up the populace at this stage.
Finally, I realized that their approach is to keep everyone’s attention focused on the Catholic church and its alleged goal of keeping everyone from having any fun by dictating how they should behave sexually. And, of course, Rick Santorum is an agent of this evil Catholic Empire.
Our culture and our infotainment outlets are obsessed with sex, so it’s easy to keep attention focused on any issue that involves sex. In the meantime, the Soros administration goes about putting through all of its programs that are completely changing our republic to their communist utopia.
Glenn Beck describes this change perfectly here:
