Presdient vs Catholic/Religion

Obama Leave The Church and GOD Alone

President Obama seems to know what is better for the Catholic Church than the Catholic Church itself! What the President is trying to force  Catholics to do with their insurance for employees and services their hospitals must provide  is not only against the Catholics beliefs but it is an assault on religion in general.

 Today it's the Catholics next month it could be the Methodists, Lutherans or one of any number of other religions. It's time for the people of any and all religions to banned together and tell the government to stick to government and leave Religion  alone. The government believes, for some reason,  they have this new found authority over every aspect of people's lives.  I am here to tell you that is a dangerous step for any government.Dangerous to the people and their freedom.

The Obama administration's ongoing battle with The Catholic Church  " over contraception health care mandates  has been brewing for quite some time. Over the weekend, though, the stand-off took an unusual turn, as Catholic churches across America read a letter to congregants that perfectly encapsulated the church’s stance against the impending federal requirements.

The Church’s vocal arguments against the Obama administration are centered upon a Health and Human Services Department requirement that employers must include contraception and abortion-inducing drugs in health-care coverage. While this requirement doesn’t apply to houses of worship, it will force Catholic colleges, hospitals and other Christian groups to provide these drugs despite their faith-based opposition to them.

Many of these organizations, despite not being, themselves, churches, are intrinsically rooted in religious belief systems that stand firmly opposed to medications and procedures that would terminate the life of an unborn child. These deeply-rooted moral codes, which drive the groups’ work, will be impeded, Catholic leaders say, should the Obama administration continue with its planned mandate.

Recently, the federal government made one small concession surrounding the requirement, as officials decided to give church-affiliated hospitals and organizations another year before they will be forced to comply with the coverage restrictions.

“In effect, the president is saying we have a year to figure out how to violate our consciences,” Cardinal-designate Timothy M. Dolan, archbishop of New York and president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, recently said.

Over the weekend, the Catholic Church’s letter went beyond simply issuing oppositional rhetoric to media. Instead, priests read an open note to congregations across the country, dubbing the administration‘s take on women’s health and religious violations as an attack on their faith. In the letter, Bishops highlighted what they called “an alarming and serious matter,“ as their words contended that the federal government has ”dealt a heavy blow” to the Catholic population."

Ask yourself,what religion will be next? At some point every American had better take a stand and stop what appears to be an intrusion of government into  the lives of "the people."

Please vote in the next election and remember race is not, nor should it  be an issue but freedom is and should be an issue!
