    I always understood “health-care” as being primarily the treatment and cure of diseases. So since when did pregnancy become a disease? or abortion a right (rite)?
    “Religious liberty has been granted to churches and to individuals not by the State but by the hand of God,” Bishop Lori pointed out. “It is the first of our freedoms in the Bill of Rights and at the heart of all the other freedoms.”

    Check your facts before you write.  There was NO ACCOMODATION.
    The Federal Register shows that the rule proposed in August 2011 was finalized WITHOUT CHANGE.
    Obama simply lied about accomodation, and you swallowed his statement hook, line and sinker.

     One of the effects of mortal sin is the darkening of our reason and you don’t have to be Catholic to commit a mortal sin. Get it.

    The title “Father of Lies” has already been assigned, by someone close to us all!

    I nominate Obama for the title “Son of Lies.”  The truth is not in him.

    If this is all true, then why did the bishops accept it? Are they dropping the ball by not fighting for my rights as a catholic employer not to have  to obey my conscience? It seems like they are only seeing this from how it affects them directly and those directly tied to the church. I thought that the parishioners were the base of the church. If they don’t fight hard for us, they’re SO-CALLED flock, they soon will have nothing left to fight for. Obama hit you hard and then backed off a little and you caved. The true fight is the religious rights of the base of the church YOUR PARISHIONERS! If the people working for me don’t like the fact that I don’t offer birth control, then they can use their freedom and find another job, like people in this country have been doing since the end of slavery! If Obama is right and insurance is cheaper with birth control, then they should theoretically  find a stronger higher paying competitor fairly easily. You know the whole birth control insurance is cheaper idea is a lie because if it wasn’t then the rates would have been cheaper before this whole debacle took place. You don’t think someone ran those numbers? THE BISHOPS ARE DROPPING THE BALL AND NEED TO ACT TO OUST OBAMA AND THE ANTI RELIGIOUS FREEDOM GROUPS IN THE ELECTION THIS FALL OR THEY WON’T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THEIR POSITION BECAUSE IT WILL CEASE TO EXIST!
