Forum Post: Catholic Church circulates anti-Obama letter

Posted 12 years ago on Jan. 30, 2012, 6:25 p.m. EST by moochild (-43)
This content is user submitted and not an official statement

What do you think the MSM's reaction would be if the Bush administration were to create a law that all Muslims were forced to eat bacon, egg & cheese sandwiches daily? Obviously not good - so why hasn't anyone made a peep about the Obama administration's blatant attack on Christianity, specifically Catholics, where institutions would be mandated to cover things that blatantly violated their beliefs. What are they? Find out here. http://www.glennbeck.com/2012/01/30/catholic-church-circulates-anti-obama-letter/

The bible-thumpers are lashing out because we have a leader that respect my constitutional right to not live under the rule of religion. If you want to live in a theocracy, move to Iran, because that sir is what a theocracy looks like. A society were decisions are made based not on fact, human benefit, or reason, but rather on faith and superstition and where the end of humanity is not only acceptable but accepted as the inevitable.

The catholic church has some serious credibility problems. They protected pedophile priests for years, fearful of the harm to their wallet and reputation. Pride comes before the fall.

Priests/Nuns do not get married despite that no biblical such doctrine exists. This is arguably the worst form of contraception and a policy that seems would invite undesirable people to the church.

Catholics and other religions make judgment that does not belong to them. They act in the same ways they condemn.

But the worst thing the catholic church has done is become a political apparatus like a corporation divined by God. This is the biggest mistake. They act like the corporation for Christ.

How many have given money believing somehow the church can get favor from God? How many honestly believe a priest can forgive sin? Not a chance.

We all have a right to practice what we believe without having someone elses belief shoved down our throats.

Insurance is a rather ungodly/unholy business after all - anyone of any decency regardless of faith would not work long in such an industry. Perhaps the catholic church should stand up against all insurance products given their unholy nature (not just the contraceptive issues) - otherwise - shut up with the hypocrisy.

Catholics should make a moral stand and walk away from all insurance products (no excuses or shut it)- problem solved.

[-] 2 points by JoeTheFarmer (2654) 12 years ago

They cannot walk away from insurance product because they are employers and as employers are mandated to provide insurance. Now with the healthcare act they mandated to cover birth control which is contrary to their beliefs.

As an atheist I have no problem with birth control but I am not in favor of the government mandating something that is contrary to someones beliefs. It is a violation of the first amendment for the government to pass a law that prohibits a person or group from following their religion.

[-] 0 points by socialsynergy (32) 12 years ago

If they the "church" declared it (insurance) to be against their religion in totality (not just - i don't like this part-but will keep this) - they perhaps could walk away from it.

They could pay a little extra to their employees (that they already pay on their behalf) and let them have the choice of insurance product (if they could be exempted for religious reasons).

I believe in God and I am also against government mandating something contrary to an individuals beliefs.( You see believers and non believers are not that much different - laugh)

Part of the problem is that people try to solve problems of complexity with simplicity - it never works.

Sick people are bad for business. People that feel better do better.

Obama's goals with healthcare are not that big of an issue for me - it is how he is trying to implement the end result that is the problem IMHO.

How many prisoners get better healthcare than a single parent working 60 hours a week?

How you get the result is as important as the result.

[-] 1 points by JoeTheFarmer (2654) 12 years ago

You hit on the heart of the problem.

They cannot walk away from it because they are required by law to provide it. Not only that but they are told what they have to cover as an employer. This is the requirement that Obamacare brought about. This is what they are protesting. They would prefer your method.

[-] 1 points by socialsynergy (32) 12 years ago

I knew you would come back with that. This problem goes beyond Obama care. The problem is with the nature of law. Today we use law as a replacement of honor, religion,decency, control or morality. Law has little to do with justice. This is the failing of law; it is not just. If the law ceases to be just then we have a form of lawlessness that has been legitimized. This is dangerous for everyone.

When we use laws in the way that we do, they always become so convoluted that they inevitably conflict with other laws. Endless arguments about nonsense - while common sense takes a back seat.

Lawyers do not think in the same way as average people. Few average people understand this.

Just about every nasty inhumane act in history was supported by law.People forget this.

It is always the few that stand up and challenge injustice by breaking laws that bring about change. When you break a law in the name of justice it is much different than breaking the law for profit or gain. How many courts understand or make such a distinction? In most cases the law allows for no such distinction.

Our laws around the world are outdated and not fit for a modern society, just like our monetary systems. They have not modernized because those working within the system see little wrong with it - it would be like admitting fault and lawyers are trained never to admit fault. Most lawyers are trained to hold the view of whoever pays them the most money (kind of like a banker)(laugh).

Can we have justice with such a system? Can we expect people that have been trained like a lawyer to change their own profession. I would say no in most cases.

The law is just another tool that should benefit society in someway. We are not getting good value out this apparatus at the moment. This issue about contraception in a small way demonstrates this.

I think its time for the Catholic church and their supporters to join with the 99%. other religions too - today contraception, tomorrow who the heck can tell when your dealing with lawyers. (laugh)

IMHO -At the heart of these global protests is justice in one form or another - all faiths have a moral obligation to come forward and demand change in the name of justice. Or don't complain when they get screwed - like they have been and are now.

People across all faiths and political spectrums can agree on one thing. Things are not good.

When the American founding fathers agreed to pay all debt of the nation - the nation did not run the type of monetary system we use today. If we did (use the monetary system of today back then) the American founding fathers would have never agreed to pay all debt (the money men were not stupid-it was very calculated). How sleazy to create a monetary debt monster of today; while knowing that America has an obligation to pay debts. All very legal you know; just a tad bit immoral. And not a shred of justice.

You see, laws often are used in a way they are not intended to be used because we fail to take in to account the spirit of the law or the intended purpose.Instead we focus on the words and throw out all common sense.

Contraception/religious views is not the problem here- it is the law broadly speaking.

oooooooo Christians will have access to abortions. Pffft. Like Catholics don't make up 99% of abortion seekers.

[-] 2 points by hoot (313) 12 years ago

You do realize this isn't about christians having abortions. This is about obama demanding that churches spend money on health insurance that covers costs that go against their religion. Furthermore that insurance is for employees, employees that are suppose to remain abstinent and have no need for abortions and contraception. This is government imposing wasteful spending and insulting a certain group of people.

[-] 2 points by TitusMoans (2451) from Boulder City, NV 12 years ago

Where do you come up with your figures that "99% of abortion seekers" are Catholic, Percentages R Us? At least contribute honestly not with the mendacity of a typical fanatic.

You may be anti-Catholic or completely anti-Christian. I don't know which, but fabrications only work against your efforts to make a point.

Here the question should be does the federal government have any Constitutional right to force insurance carriers to comply and Catholic-funded hospitals to provide abortions to continue receiving federal money from, for instance, Medicare?

Whether you're for or against legalized abortions, you should ask yourself if your really want the federal government encroaching even further into the private lives of average Americans.

[-] 2 points by TitusMoans (2451) from Boulder City, NV 12 years ago

I see. You confuse Catholicism with Christianity in general.

Quite a few Christians, including most Catholics, are very anti-abortion. Most Fundamentalist sects are generally anti-abortion, because they believe personhood begins at conception.

Many, many people, who were born Christian, certainly don't practice their religion, including numerous Catholics, but your postion seems to be to throw out the baby with the bath water.

There is not.

This discussion is about the insurance policies that do not incorporate women's healthcare into their plans.

@GurlFried - You can call it "women's healthcare," "reproductive services," "family planning services," or any other user-friendly term you can come up with. The bottom line is the same: the government can't force religious institutions to pay for it. (Check out the 1st Amendment.)

@BonTon, you still need to come up with a valid line of reasoning for withholding women's health insurance. Start working on that. :D

@GurlFried - "withholding women's health insurance"?? Who suggested that? The discussion is about forcing religious entities to pay for abortion and contraceptives thru their heath plans.

It's insurance sweet pea. They aren't churches. Deal with it.
