Catholic Charities denies that they support the Obama Mandate
By Tom Quiner
The Mainstream Media (MSM) states that Catholic Charities supports the Obama Mandate requiring Catholic organizations to provide abortifacients, sterilization, and contraception to their employees.
Here is what they really say on the subject:
[Catholic Charities] “welcomes the administration’s attempt to meet the concerns of the religious community and looks forward to reviewing the final language. We are hopeful that this is a step in the right direction. We have not endorsed the accommodation to the HHS mandate that was announced by the administration last Friday.”
Even more, Catholic Charities say that they “unequivocally share the goal” of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops to “uphold religious liberty.”
“Any representation to the contrary is false,” Catholic Charities said.
The Obama Administration is attempting to divide the Catholic community.
The MSM is quick to report any perceived divides to support the president and his anti-religion policies.
They jumped the gun on this issue. Catholic Charities is not supporting the president.
Thank you for dispelling the dis-information that is unfortunately so prevalent in the media.
To paraphrase the President’s off-handed remark: he would like to have the power to force his mandates but a paper called the constitution was in his way is extremely troublesome. Have you ever heard a president of the US say such a thing out loud? Religious freedom is not the only freedom at stake if this president is re-elected.
