Pope Calls Out Catholic Charities for Promoting Abortion, Contraception

Pope Calls Out Catholic Charities for Promoting Abortion, Contraception.

This directive is coming from the top. The Pope Benedict  himself is directing Catholic affiliated charities  to stop funding abortionists and promoters of this and other activities which are directly against the teaching of the Catholic Church.

This further validates the  boycott against the Catholic Campaign for Human Development by Catholics who are concerned about the manner in which their charitable funds are being spent.

This directive also has practical application to individual Catholics to direct their charitable activities and giving wisely.

The faithful  might also pay particular attention to the charitable outreaches being pitched to the students in the religious affiliated schools.   It always helps to LOOK UP the Organization on the release form that you sign for your child.

 

Obama Admin Argues Gov. Can Violate Religious Beliefs

Obama’s Department of Injustice has argued for the HHS mandate, against plaintiffs who cite that it violates the First Amendment of the Constitution. It holds that a privately owned company cannot exercise the religious beliefs of its owners in the business activities of the corporation. The Obama administration argues that it has authority to compel any privately owned corporation to do anything which the government demands, no matter how it violates the religious ethics of the company owners or employees. Legatus, an association of Catholic business leaders, Weingartz Supply, an outdoor equipment supplier, and Hobby Lobby, a large retail chain are among the filers of 28 separate lawsuits which challenge the HHS mandate in court.

The Price of Obamacare: Loss of Religious Freedom

Obama: It‘s ’Not Fair’ That Catholic Employers Would Deny Women Contraception Coverage | Video | TheBlaze.com.

At 2:09 of this video is the pertinent exchange in which Obama reiterates his stance that employers and all insurers must provide birth control, abortion, and sterilization, regardless of their religious convictions. He has exempted only actual Churches from this, forgetting that people practice their religion outside of worship services. (Note that when speaking of this, the actual services are disingenuously lumped under the misnomer, “contraception”.

Now Obamacare Faces the Religious Freedom Challenges

Becket Fund’s HHS Mandate Challenge | Becket Fund.

There are dozens of federal lawsuits based upon the violations of human rights, that are expressed in the Sebelius HHS Mandate of Obamacare. At issue is its funding of birth control, sterilization and abortion, by forcing people to pay for it in violation of their religion. Obamacare also provides these services to minors without parental consent. Alliance Defense Fund has a fact sheet explaining these aspects of Obamacare.

The Colson center outlines the coming legal challenges to Obamacare in an article HERE.

In addition to religious affiliated organizations, private businesses owned by people of conscience are also filing suit against the Obamacare mandate, for example, O’Brien Industrial Holdings, LLC, represented by the American Center for Law and Justice.

Kathleen Sebelius is the Beta Version of Sandra Fluke

Both the Beta and the marketed version of the Birth Control Gurl program are equally worthless with respect to output content, but as you can see below,  Kathleen Sebelius, the Beta version, delivers the output haltingly as though there is a misconfiguration of  the audio output device driver.

Watch the fun as Congressman Trey Gowdy questions Sebelius on her efforts to examine the constitutionality of the HHS mandate.

This analogy between faithfulness to the religious restrictions against eating pork, and that against artificial birth control / abortion / sterilization is particularly apt, because it shows governmental coercion, and management which is closely analogous to the Obama mandate, and his so-called compromise.

Followers of ANY religion, and those concerned with personal liberty would be well served by taking the time to read Michael Stokes Paulsen’s analysis.
