Catholic Bishops denounce President Obama...

[mrmpa]

In the link below, you will find an article denouncing the President and Health & Human Services Secretary Sebelius for mandating that all personal and group health plans cover birth control and sterilization treatments.

The Bishops are taken aback because it is beyond what they teach & practice. Sebelius says it is about preventive care and women's health.

You decide, I'm with the President and Sebelius on this issue

1. so how much weight does a moral statement from a bunch of pedophile enablers

carry?

2. Who cares what they teach and practice! No one is forcing anyone to take birth control.

What happened to separation of church and state? And aren't they busy ridding their churches of god preachers who harm children? No need for birth control when you're bopping boys.....

May the Catholic Church burn to the ground.

3. You got it,

no one is forcing them to utilize the covered services. I'm sure there are many women working for religious institutions who are using birth control or even have had an abortion.

I went to a catholic college and my very catholic roommate had an abortion.

4. ALL Catholic DUers really need to get those cards and envelopes to the Bishop

The RW Catholic hierarchy is at it again....like they are in every election year! I saw this happen to Kerry when he got "denied" communion by one Bishop while Arnold was lunching with Cardinal Mahoney here in L.A. They were BOTH pro-choice -- it's always the excuse to harass the Dems. They never go after pro-choicers like Guiliani.

Tell them ENOUGH WITH PLAYING POLITICS. It's disgusting and taints the religion like nothing else (except child rape of course, which I don't see them get this angry about.)

5. Blood tranfusions are covered on governmental plans. Does that mean that

Obama, Bush,Clinton, Bush, Carter and Reagan told the Jehovah Witness to GTH,too.This is RIDICULOUS!

A free democracy must work within the boundaries of law and national health. It is legal for women to have reproductive healthcare. A healthcare insurance program would be legally bound to include it.

6. these morons don't even represent most American Catholics.

what a disconnect between the hierarchy of the Church and it's membership.

[MADem]

7. Ah yes, bishops, et. al., have done such a FINE job of picking "winning leadership" in the past....

I'll say no more.

8. Do their employees really want them to know

who is using birth control? Odds are that these Catholic, or otherwise, employees use BC and are getting them somewhere else. Could this be used as a reason to FIRE these employees for violating the church's "morals" code?
