Obama as Henry VIII, he'll "accommodate" Catholic concerns, for now

Obamacare's contraceptive mandate problem isn't going away. If anything, the backlash is building as more people realize just how much of a power grab it really is. Because what Obama is doing here isn't limited to this one assault on our religious freedom. Oh no. He's assuming the role of America's Henry VIII, and dictating to the Church how it will operate. Or else.

If the contraceptive mandate stands what's to stop him from sending the EEOC into our seminaries to force the ordination of women priests?

If the contraceptive mandate stands what's to stop him from requiring Catholic priests to perform gay marriage ceremonies? (You'll note that his Administration has already imposed that requirement on the Methodists of Ocean Grove, NJ.)

If the contraceptive mandate stands what's to stop him from ordering our private schools to cease teaching that homosexuality is a sin and abortion is murder?

It's not just Catholics who should fear Barack Hussein Tudor. Orthodox Jews separate men from women in their synogogues. Will his power-mad feminist advisors let that religious requirement continue?

I doubt it. They're on a roll.

So word is there's some sort of "accommodation" in the works.

The move, based on state models, will almost certainly not satisfy bishops and other religious leaders since it will preserve the goal of women employees having their birth control fully covered by health insurance.

He won't roll back the mandate, he'll just shift the costs.

Uh, so the administration response will be tell insurers for religious organizations to take on the costs themselves without passing it along to the religious organizations that pay for the policies? Religious organizations whose doctrines oppose birth control are not going to buy insurance policies that cover it — nor should the government be forcing them to do so.

Does anyone here believe this "accommodation" will survive for 5 minutes after (God forbid!) Obama is re-elected?

The bishops are standing strong.

Our Founding Fathers fought for freedom, for liberty, for justice. They wouldn't recognize our current federal government. Or rather, they'd recognize it as a tyrannical monster which dwarfs the long train of abuses and usurpations perpetuated by King George. They'd see that Obama's Object evinces a design to reduce us under absolute Despotism. For surely he has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance. And imposed Taxes on us without our Consent.

To a man the Founders would stand up for what is right and just. We can do no less. We. Will. Not. Comply. Ever. The fate of our childrens' future hangs in the balance.
