Bishops React to The Onerous Mandate: “The Bell is Tolling”, “Pray to St. Michael” and “To Hell With You!”

Excerpt from: Bishops React to The Onerous Mandate: “The Bell is Tolling”, “Pray to St. Michael” and “To Hell With You!”

Bishops across America are raising their voices against the onerous mandate issued by the Obama Administration through Kathleen Sebelius at HHS commanding Catholics to subsidize contraception, sterilization and abortifacient pills. Bishop James Conley of Denver : Let’s be clear. This decision does nothing to respect religious freedom. Without change, Catholic institutions will soon be legally required to provide services which violate a fundamental principle of our religious beliefs. If plans go unchanged, the Catholic Church, acting through our Catholic institutions, will no longer have legal protection for the free exercise of religion. …Unity has never been more important. Certainly, there is disagreement among Christians about the legitimacy of contraception. But there should be no disagreement among Christians about religious freedom. …

Some Hope For You

Benedictine College monks and students drove halfway across America in four buses. At the Gregorian Institute , I’ve posted a slideshow of Benedictine College’s epic journey to and from the Washington, D.C., March for Life (this year, it took 36 hours just to get there). Also, in a kind of modern-day Canterbury Tales the young monks at our Abbey made a podcast sharing some of the experiences of their journey with the students. They were trying to keep up with their prayers quietly, but the whole bus joined in. Click here to see and hear it … …
