What a crazy week it has been, between the Obamacare/HHS mandate, over 150 bishops speaking out against it , and the battle between Susan G. Komen and Planned Parenthood. A great many people are visiting this site today because of my comments on the Komen situation — my most recent thoughts on that can be found here (ongoing updates can be found at my twitter page @AmericanPapist — the story is very fast moving and complex). But I don’t want to lose track of the “bigger” story – Obama’s war against religious liberty in this country and the Catholic effort to win this war definitively. Peggy Noonan calls this a “battle the President can’t win” in her syndicated column today for the Wall Street Journal and says “President Obama just may have lost the election” because, in going after the religious liberty of Catholics, he has “awakened a sleeping giant”: If [Catholics] stay strong and fight, they will win. This is in fact a potentially unifying moment for American Catholics, long split left, right and center. Catholic conservatives will immediately and fully oppose the administration’s decision. But Catholic liberals, who feel embarrassed and undercut, have also come out in opposition. …

by Kathleen Gilbert WASHINGTON, January 31, 2012 (LifeSiteNews.com) – As a formidable tide of Christian opposition began rising this week, including at least 115 U.S. bishops, the nation’s leading abortion lobby is leaping to defend the Obama administration order that will force religious institutions to provide free… …

Recently we have learned that under Obamacare-that is, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act-employer insurance plans must provide free non-medical contraception, abortifacients, and sterilization for their employees. Free is as affordable as it gets; for an accountability-spurning culture, its just the right price, indeed. Let us pay nothing in order to beget nothing and, says this government, let us force those interfering churchy” institutions-who keep insisting that there is something worth contemplating beyond ourselves-to pick up the tab, for good measure. There is an odd we are nothing” philosophy behind this HHS decision and the Secretary who made it, and the President who supports it-a chilling promise of emptiness where tomorrow should be. Humanity, cajoled away from fertility and trained in sterility, is being weaned from those thoughts that travel beyond the present moment; we are self-interested beyond reason, and thus profoundly bored; condom-strangled, tube-snipped, and detached from the essential materials of reproduction either through artificial means or artificial equivalencies, our vision of the future is as limited as a pay-telescopes viewer: tick, tick, tick and then a resolute click!, and it is gone. With the administrations decision, the covert culture of death has finally made a truly overt move against the culture of life. On one side, there is cheering. …
