Catholic college sues Obama administration over abortifacient contraceptive mandate | LifeSiteNews.com
Belmont Abbey College, represented by the Becket Fund, is suing the Obama Administration over its mandate forcing religious institutions to cover abortifacient forms of birth control. The two most obvious mentioned in the above article are Ella and Plan B One-Step, but the actual list would properly include all hormonal forms of birth control on the market.
The supposed religious exemption written in the Obamacare legislation is regarded as too narrow to include Belmont Abbey College, and it will need to choose between contraceptive coverage or offering any health care coverage at all.
Waking Up is Hard to Do
Catholic bishops prepare religious liberty fight.
Archbishop Charles Chaput is painting a darker view of America as being unfriendly to Christians in the present and coming years.
Pharmer often heaps “un-praise” on the US Conference of Catholic Bishops for cooperating with and supporting the policies of the same corrupt government which intends to bury them, with the recognition that some of the Bishops have always known better. Archbishop Chaput would be one of those.
AP is describing a bit more recognition among the Bishops that the burial of Christianity in the West is well under way, and the beginnings of their efforts towards legal protection of religious freedom.
The legal process is very slow, and Pharmer suggests that adherent Christians might take a page from the book of the Muslims in making western governments kow-tow to their wishes. Christians still wield considerable control over various means of production so that there still remain non-violent options to bend our extremely corrupt government towards respecting religious freedoms.
Such techniques have been used by the pro-lifers to delay and stop construction and operation of abortion clinics. In recent years planned parenthood has had to form shadow companies to have clinics built, because so many contractors opt not to do business with them. Their difficulties are increasing.
Such things could be made to happen to the other leftist individuals and organizations who are working to strip away our rights to freely practice our own religions. It should become generally more difficult and expensive for them to get anything accomplished, from new construction to fixing the leak in their toilet.
CAIR Warns Michigan Mosques Against Christian Prayer Event
All that outreach from Mother of Mercy High School in Cincinnati not withstanding, 😉 CAIR is warning mosques in Michigan to be on the alert, because Christians are meeting in Detroit for “The Call” a 24 hour gathering for fasting and prayer.
Only 11 percent of U.S. Muslims feel that CAIR represents their interests, and this kind of divisive activity might be one reason why.
Christians Should Stop ‘Downgrading’ Christianity Says British Muslim Minister | TheBlaze.com
Christians Should Stop ‘Downgrading’ Christianity Says British Muslim Minister | TheBlaze.com.
Baroness Sayeeda Warsi (first female Muslim in the UK Cabinet) calls for Christians to quit being wimps. Amazing! She asks them to show more pride in their faith and not leave it at the door.
Warsi makes reference to the murder of Shahbaz Bhatti, the only Christian in the Pakistani Cabinet, last March, and calls for more dialog among the religions, and more protection of minority religions in Pakistan and the Middle East.
Says the Baroness:

Media Trashes Catholic Church by Aligning It With “Occupy” Protestors
The media has been spinning a statement from some in the Vatican, asking for reform of banking functions to imply that it has agreement with the Occupy protestors. As always, the statements are misinterpreted for use in bolstering the opinions of leftists that they should have a free ride at others’ expense.
The Council for Justice and Peace at the Vatican sometimes produces some fluffy ideas, based on idealism. The thought that wild speculation by financiers, which adversely affects the access to real products around the world, should be regulated sufficiently to prohibit stealing, is not a bad idea. The thought that banks should be controlled from a single central entity associated with (the very corrupt) UN is so much bubbly stuff, not based on reality.
A statement on banking coming from that part of the Vatican in no way functions as an endorsement of the Occupy protesters as the Drudge and news headlines have implied. Nor does it function as official Church teaching. Lastly, the actual statement bears little resemblance to what the lefties in the media are making of it.
One can see that some in the media have an axe to burn. Note the placement of the misleading headline about the Vatican placed underneath an article about Occupy Dallas protesters boinking a 14 year old runaway girl, who is said to have claimed the age of 19.
Take a look… One of the Drudge editors made this glaring public relations error placing these headlines close to each other:
Report: 14 year old teen sexually assaulted at Occupy Dallas…” and “Vatican backs Protests” Since this will soon disappear, Pharmer took a pic of Drudge showing at 10 am EDT today. A full size pic showing this segment with the Drudge Report header is stored away.
One more chunk of Occupy garbage: It seems that the group has amassed a half million dollars in contributions, which it is not distributing among protesting groups. No, the Occupy Movement is not spreading the wealth. It’s HOARDING IT IN AMALGAMATED BANK!!!! 🙂
Pelosi on Abortion: Foaming at the Mouth Again
Steve Ertelt grabbed this bit of video of Pelosi commenting on the latest attempt to defund abortion and protect conscientious health care professionals, being addressed in Congress.
Nancy is frothing at the mouth with more intensity than usual, fueled possibly by the cognitive dissonance in her mind. Nancy professes some connection with Catholicism, which expressly states that the killings of humans by abortion are wrong. It is up close and personal for Pelosi, who wants these procedures available for her daughters. Living inside the head of this woman would not be pleasant.
From Nancy’s mind to yours, (4/20/07) decrying the upreme Court decision to uphold the ban of partial birth abortion:
“This isn’t really an abortion issue. That is what really saddens me about what the justices said.
“This is about a procedure that any parent would want her daughter to have access to if she needed it. And to frame it as an abortion issue is doing a disservice to medicine and to our young women and our country. So I hope we can get the focus back on the fact that this Supreme Court is deciding what medical procedures are necessary for child-bearing women.”
Pharmer invites Pelosi to present a single medical case in which any procedure of carving up a human in utero is necessary specifically to save the life of a mother.
Don’t hold your breath for a response.
Arab Spring: Christians Massacred In Cairo
Arab Spring Christians Massacred In Cairo.
Coptic Christians demonstrated their anger over church burnings, and discriminatory treatment. The army, which had failed in its response to the burnings, dealt harshly with the Christians, crushing the demonstrators and killing 30.
Walid Phares weighs in on the situation, with conjecture on how the younger Muslims and Copts will respond to the Army’s handling of this situation.
As expected (planned) the Christians of the Middle East will not be the beneficiaries of the Arab Spring.
