Health Care Controversy of ALL the Faithful
I’m wondering why. Why when the Bishops met with the Obama administration last year, did they agree to the health care proposal with an understanding that an exemption would be made for the Catholic churches, schools, and hospitals?
I’m wondering why the Bishops didn’t state this same exemption to be made for people of ALL faiths? What about other religious churches, schools, and hospitals? What about small business owners of faith? What about just people of faith of no particular religion?
Now, once again, the Bishops have met with this administration to request an exemption from the health care bill for Catholic churches, schools, and hospitals, again.
Why don’t the Bishops go to the heart of the matter and address the real issue with this administration. The fact that this is a violation of the U.S. Constitution, and it’s EVERY person’s right to religious freedom from the government, not just the Catholic institutions. No one should have to request this freedom from our government.
The Catholic church has a loud mouthpiece that is well-respected and taken seriously. Why don’t they speak out for ALL on this issue, instead of just for themselves? I’m wondering why.
