USCCB! Act NOW Or Forever Forfeit Any and All Moral Credibility

Obama has announced that he wants the House to pass the Senate version of the Hell Bill by March 18th, before he leaves on an international trip.  No doubt a vote for the mess would give him something about which to bragg (apology tours must be boring him).  So now he and his puppets are pulling all the stops on their lobbying efforts.

That means we can do no less.  By and large, the Catholic and pro-life population who take seriously the teachings of the Magisterium have been combatting the Hell bill, and we will continue to do so.

This brings us to the topic of the USCCB.  As of the time of this writing, they continue to push their delusional view of the Hell Bill as being the will of God: that is, after the abortion funding is removed.  Those of us who aren't closet socialists know that such is a fairy tale at best.  Abortion will  be facilitated.  Moreover, the bishops seem to be paying no attention to other threats embodied in the Hell bill: euthanasia vis-a-vis the death panels, health care rationing, the government taking over our medical decisions (Hey!  Where's the "My body, my choice!" crowd when we need them?  Why, they're supporting this intrusion!  But I digress!)

Yesterday, Judy Brown of American Life League wrote an excellent article detailing just why the actions of the USCCB have proven to be utterly abysmal.  It is entitled "Troublesome: The USCCB's Embrace of Obamacare".  It can be found at http://www.all.org/newsroom_judieblog.php  You may have to scroll down a little bit to find it.

It now seems that we must, in addition to lobbying our Congressional Representatives, lobby our bishops to at least keep their bazzoos out of matters that really are the rightful purview of the laity.  Contact information is at the bottom of the article and on your diocesan websites.
