The Catholic Health Association has recently dealt a big blow to "Obamacare" and its HHS mandate. This mandate requires that employees' health insurance include free birth control coverage. The Catholic Church has been the most outspoken on this issue due to religious freedom.
The HHS mandate would force Churches to promote contraception. As you may know, the Catholic Church opposes any form of contraception.
Contraception is immoral and destroys families. Those who call themselves "liberal Catholics" disagree and feel that the Church has an obligation to provide it to all employees. This along with Abortion will solve the world problems, according to them.
Religious freedom is important and is a human right. Mr. Obama is forcing Churches to promote birth control devices and medication that contradict its teachings.
Unfortunately, the CHA and some Catholic institutions have been hijacked by these so-called "liberal Catholics" who disregard Church teachings. This is why the CHA's rejection of the compromise comes to all faithful Catholics as a surprise. The members of CHA, including Sister Keehan, have come under fire for being more loyal to Obama than to the Pope.
I applaud the CHA for supporting the Catholic Bishops by rejecting the compromise. We as Catholics must be loyal to God first and the Church. We cannot give in to the world's philosophies and lies.
I do remember Jesus saying something about whoever denies Him before men, He will deny before His Father. So let us be faithful.
