The Heretical Gospel According to Pope Barack Hussein Obama The First

Via Pundette comes the latest Obamacare tyranny — Pope Barack Hussein Obama The First overrules 20 centuries of Catholic doctrine.

Undeterred, and menacingly on the cusp of the anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the Department of Health and Human Services has issued an "interim final rule" which requires all private health plans, including those of Catholic hospitals and schools, to include coverage of prescription contraceptives, female sterilization procedures, and abortion counseling.

Thereby replacing "Thou Shalt Not Kill" with a new heresy — The Gospel According to Obama.

Archbishop Timothy Dolan:

"Never before has the federal government forced individuals and organizations to go out into the marketplace and buy a product that violates their conscience," said Dolan. "This shouldn't happen in a land where free exercise of religion ranks first in the Bill of Rights."

Disobey our consciences and our faith, or disengage completely from providing health care services. He's "graciously" given us a year to decide. Archbishop Dolan again:

"In effect, the president is saying we have a year to figure out how to violate our consciences."

Which is of course no time at all. Except there's an election coming up. No Catholic can in good conscience vote for Barack Obama. Not after this. To re-elect Obama is to put him above God, to disavow a core tenet of our Catholic faith, to turn your back on everything that Christ taught.

And to be complicit in mortal sin. We still believe in mortal sin, don't we? Us Catholics, I mean. The secular world has long since decided to look the other way. Can we? Can we turn our backs and accede to government-sanctioned infanticide? Will we pay our blood money and call it "health care?"

I hope not.

Is it hyperbole to posit that Barack Hussein Obama is the Antichrist? He will destroy Holy Mother Church. He has said as much, and his actions cannot possibly be interpreted differently. The Church is already out of the adoption business, forced by Obama to surrender our doctrinal authority to the vagaries of homosexual dystopianism.

Now he'll prevent us from providing health care. No Catholic hospital can operate under this requirement. They'll be sold, at fire sale prices, probably to Obama cronies like George Soros and Warren Buffett. And no Catholic school will be able to offer health insurance to their employees. "Look at the heartless Catholics," his sycophantic media will say. "The public schools give their employees the best health insurance available!"

He will not stop until the Catholic Church is scrubbed from the public square. Banished, like lepers, to the fringes of Obama's New World Order. Crushed under the secular jackboot labeled "tolerance."

And then what is left? Who will the people turn to? Government!

His message is seductively simple, a siren song, music to the ears of a fickle and easily distracted populace. Obama is our shepherd, we shall not want. It is the eternal seduction of the evil one, played out in the United States of America in the Year of Our Lord 2012.

In November Barack Obama must be defeated. Or he will destroy us.

UPDATE 29 Jan 2012 22:35:
Apparently a letter on this topic from the bishops was read in most parishes today.

In thousands of parishes this weekend, Catholic priests read a version of the following letter to their congregation denouncing this decision as an attack on their religious freedom. Each bishop personally sent the letter out, and so there were some local variations.

Nothing in my parish though. Perhaps Father Flannery may have sadly thought his homily was more important.

Which troubles me greatly, because Archbishop Myers wrote a scathing letter in opposition to Obama's mandate. In it he advocated civil disobedience, urging all the Catholics in his care not to comply with the health insurance requirement in so far as contraception, sterilization and abortion inducing drugs are concerned.

We cannot—we will not—comply with this unjust law. People of faith cannot be made second-class citizens. We are already joined by our brothers and sisters of all faiths and many others of good will in this important effort to regain our religious freedom. Our parents and grandparents did not come to these shores to help build America's cities and towns, its infrastructure and institutions, its enterprise and culture, only to have their posterity stripped of their God given rights. In generations past, the Church has always been able to count on the faithful to stand up and protect her sacred rights and duties. I hope and trust she can count on this generation of Catholics to do the same. Our children and grandchildren deserve nothing less.

Bravo! We will not comply.

UPDATE 29 Jan 2012 22:58:
Bishop O'Connell of Trenton agrees with Archbishop Myers. He wrote a very similar letter.

And Bishop Zubik of Pittsburgh goes even further, lambasting the president — Obama said "To Hell with Catholics!"

It is really hard to believe that it happened. It comes like a slap in the face. The Obama administration has just told the Catholics of the United States, "To Hell with you!" There is no other way to put it.

I like his style.
