Is this the same woman?  Cruella de Vil did want to kill all the puppies.  Just make the left half of Kitty Kats hair black and what do you have?

Back in 2009 when Obama gave the Notre Dame commencement address many referred to it as a “Teachable Moment”.

Back in 2009 when Obama gave the Notre Dame commencement address many referred to it as a “Teachable Moment”. There was even an open letter published in America Magazine commenting that Obama’s appearance at Notre Dame “affords all of us, including yourself, a teachable moment”. Well, well, not even two years latter and we have another “Teachable Moment”. Not just one but many… Where shall we start?

#10. The abortion issue stands above social justice and war in voting priority
# 9. The Democrat party is a haven for the culture of death
# 8. Catholic pro-abortion politicians are a major threat to life and religious freedom
# 7. There are consequences to not speaking out against unfaithful groups who use the word Catholic in their name
# 6. The Bishops support of Obamacare was stupid and naive
# 5. Obama is no friend of the Catholic Church
# 4. Ecclesial authority is only meaningful if it is exercised in matters of Faith & Morals in line with the Pope & the Church’s Magisterial teachings
# 3. The USCCB has abdicated their authority by being involved in issues like immigration reform, global warming, & organized labor (Stick with Faith & Morals)
# 2. 50 years of ignoring Catholic contraceptive use can cause problems
& #1. The use of Contraceptives is a Mortal Sin

Yes, the use of contraceptives is a mortal sin. Contraception subverts the marital embrace which rises to grave matter. But when have you heard that preached from the pulpit? For the glory of God can our Priests, Bishops, & Cardinals take off your bedroom slippers and preach the truth, with love and charity of course, but preach the whole Gospel. Especially the stuff thats going to cause eye balls to roll. Would we be in this mess if Priests & Bishops regularly spoke out against contraception yearly and clearly taught church teaching on why its wrong and why its grave matter? Would Obama have pulled this atrocity if Catholic contraception use was at say a forth or half of secular society’s? No, mainly because I doubt Obama would even been in office had this battle been fought properly 40 or 50 years ago.

If you disagree with the Church’s position on contraception, like I did 10 years ago, open the Catechism and read it. Then look at other writings of faithful & orthodox Catholics. I would suggest that they be dead and have the letters S & T in front of their name. If you don’t like reading dead people read Christopher West’s chapter on contraception in the The Good News about Sex & Marriage. Don’t go looking for some namby pamby thelogion to rub salve on your warped & poorly formed conscience. There is a very good reason to why the church teaches what it does but no one articulates it. So if no one is speaking against contraception and all of secular society is speaking for it… guess what, you get Catholic’s contracepting at the same rate as the rest of society.

Time to speak up people

The bottom line is this: “Accordingly, the amendment to the interim final rule with comment period amending 45 CFR 147.130(a)(1)(iv) which was published in the Federal Register at 76 FR 46621-46626 on August 3, 2011, is adopted as a final rule without change.” [Emphasis added.]

The bottom line is this: “Accordingly, the amendment to the interim final rule with comment period amending 45 CFR 147.130(a)(1)(iv) which was published in the Federal Register at 76 FR 46621-46626 on August 3, 2011, is adopted as a final rule without change.” [Emphasis added.]

Translation: The Obama administration Friday afternoon put into federal law the very regulation that drew objections from almost 200 Catholic bishops, some 50 religiously affiliated colleges and universities, 65 North American bishops of Orthodox churches, numerous other Jewish, Evangelical and Lutheran leaders, and even some liberals — and without changing so much as a comma.

All I can say is if your Catholic and you vote for Obama this November you may have hell to pay.

Here is what your tax dollars help funds.  When will we stand up to this?
