Church complicit in policy it opposes

The Catholic Church is in an uproar over the P-BO’s Health and Human Services’ insurance mandate forcing Catholic affiliated institutions to provide and pay for abortions, contraceptives and sterilizations on demand. In Ft. Wayne, Bishop Kevin Rhoades not only said no, he said hell no. Well sort of, Bishop Rhoades issued a scathing statement of the mandate that included this gem:


We cannot and we will not comply with this unjust federal order. We cannot and we will not accept this egregious affront to our religious liberty.

All right some good old fashion civil disobedience for a cause other than SEIU demanding that its members get paid three and half times what the average worker in the state is earning. No doubt the Catholic Church will find out what a mean vindictive bunch the Demo-Dopes are when someone, anyone, crosses them. Look for a bill from the senate before the week is out attempting to pull the church’s tax exempt status.

I’m all for our bishop’s stance. But like the illegal immigration issue, it’s 40 years too late. We’ve been allowing people to come and go across our southern border willy nilly for 40 years. Now we want to stop it, and guess what? It’s too late, or at least takes a great deal more effort to get it done. If you’ve let your kids sit at the dinner table with their elbows propped up, chewing with mouths open and burping and flagellating at will for 40 years, you can’t say, OK we’re going to have manners at the dinner table tonight and expect success.

The same is true for this new mandate.

The Catholic Church has stood mute while Demo-Dope Catholic politicians have backed abortion on demand and in many cases using tax dollars to pay for it. They did it with the Kennedy’s. They continue to do it with Slowest of all Joes, Joe shovel ready Biden, Cambodian war hero John Françoise Kerry, and box-o-rocks Grand Fran Nan Peloser.

Now, after 40 years of ignoring Catholic politicians who support abortion, in direct contradiction to their religious teaching, the bishops are pissed that these politicians are supporting the issue in direct contradiction to religious teachings.

In the last election there was a pro life candidate and a pro abortion candidate. 54% of Catholics supported the pro abortion candidate. I remember sitting in the pew before the last presidential election while a priest danced around endorsing a candidate. His approach was that the really important thing was to get out and vote, not get out and vote pro life. Well excuse me, but I’d rather pro abortionists not vote at all. Now three years later the church is pissed that Demo-Dopes do what Demo-Dopes do.

Sorry bishops, you’re 40 years too late. Had the church stepped up early on and denied communion to these half Catholics they’d have firmer ground to stand on. As it is, I’ll bet not one bishop has the guts to name the three half Catholics mentioned here and demand they stop taking communion.

OK, that’s it. All ya all at Andy on Call get back to work. You’d best believe he’s watching.
