BISHOPS MUST CHOOSE BETWEEN CHRIST-CENTERED CARE AND OBAMACARE

As Obama prepares to address the nation Wednesday on his health care plan, American Life League challenged the nation’s Catholic bishops to be prepared to shut down Catholic health care and make it clear that they prefer this action to compromising with the intrinsic evils currently contained in various Obama care proposals. “Obama speaks tonight. Christ speaks always. When it comes to health care reform which road will our Catholic bishops take?” the group asked in a Washington Times ad. The ad highlighted six principled positions Catholic-supported health care must include: opposition to abortion, contraception, sterilization, human embryonic stem cell therapy, euthanasia and assisted suicide. Judie Brown, president of American Life League, the country’s largest grassroots Catholic pro-life organization, said the ad addressed a critical question from the nation’s lay Catholic faithful: Why are the bishops largely remaining silent in opposition to the deadly provisions contained in Obamacare proposals?
