Fortnight for Freedom Campaign Against HHS Mandate Starts Thursday

The Fortnight for Freedom campaign the nation’s Catholic bishops started against the Obama HHS mandate, which forces religious groups to pay for abortions and birth control drugs for their employees, begins Thursday.

The United States Catholic bishops are readying American Catholics for what may be the largest campaign of civil disobedience since the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960’s. In addition to 12 lawsuits against the Obama Administration including 46 plaintiffs from dioceses, hospitals and universities, the US Catholic bishops are urging Catholics to openly defy the Obama HHS Mandate.

The USCCB is distributing bulletin inserts nationwide, which reference Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and his call for civil disobedience in response to unjust laws.

According to the USCCB, “Bishops in their own dioceses are encouraged to arrange special events to highlight the importance of defending religious freedom. Catholic institutions are encouraged to do the same, especially in cooperation with other Christians, Jews, people of other faiths and all who wish to defend our most cherished freedom.”

John Jansen of the Pro-Life Action League urges everyone to participate and commended the Catholic bishops for leading what is not a Catholic-only fight. . . . . . . . FINISH THE ARTICLE HERE.

Editor’s note: As if things were not going bad enough, now, Obama has to deal with two full weeks of national public attention to his efforts at taking over faith based organization and using them in his service.

It begins tomorrow, same day the first time claims numbers for the unemployed come out; his first day of dealing with the fall out over his call for executive privilege; he have to deal with one or two Supreme Court decisions; the press will carry news of, yet, another massive security leak.

Not since Nixon, have things gone so badly for a president . . . . in a criminal, unConstitutional sort of way.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."

Funny you stand up for Catholics when conservatives in LA are pushing textbooks from A Beka that attack Catholicism as "distorted" and "digressed so far from Scripture"...

See what qualifies as a "conservative education".

I am not defending Catholic doctrine. I defend the Catholics' right to continue with their doctrine construct. The State has no right to interfere with matters of faith.

But, secondly, I am as ecumenical as they come. No one person has "it all figured out," nor does any church. None of us can know God fully and completely, or he would not be God.
