The White House seems to think we bishops simply do not know or understand
Catholic teaching and so, taking a cue from its own definition of religious freedom, now has
nominated its own handpicked official Catholic teachers.
These so-called "handpicked official Catholic teachers" are the writers and publishers of America, a well-respected Catholic weekly. The fact that it doesn't necessarily track the right-wing politics of the bishops doesn't mean it's not a recognized authority of Catholic thought.

The writers and publishers of America don't set official church doctrine.
Rubbish.
In a bad economy, people will take any job.
I believe your post is the one filled with absurdities.
If the "church" has turned into a profit-making business, it needs to comply with laws and be taxed as such.
Complete taxation of the church, every church, every denomination of every cult.
If your statement was true we would not have the unemployment we have now. I know a lot of people who won't take a job since it won't pay as much as they are now getting on unemployment insurance. "People will take any job" is not true and YOUR statement is a fail.
Obama has given thousands of people exemptions form Obamacare, like the unions, etc, etc, etc. Seems all those who are friends of Obama are getting exemptions. Double standard but what else can we expect anymore.
Oh gee and here I thought the link would say something about Christians showing solidarity with Muslims who want to build mosques. The concept of religious freedom doesn't go quite that far, does it?

Damned right. Penalize those Christians because people have left them their property, and because they hire people to work for them. Penalize them because they don't believe in abortion and don't want to be forced to help women get abortions. Penalize them because they don't teach all the things that Obama thinks are so important. Damned right.

I believe that I posted part of the letter from the Cardinal that mentioned just what you say. Since when did a bunch of writers and editors become the authority on what the teachings of the Catholic Church should be? I know that all the Priests have been trained to do things the Church way but I am not so sure about that group Obama has chosen to be the leaders of the Church.

They will if the White House can force the leaders of the Church to succumb to them and their rules and regulations. That is why I have to support the leaders of the Church over the White House.

I believe Muslims are exempt from Obamacare. How is that for religious freedom?
