Roman Catholic Church Is Against Obamacare

check yesPriests for Life is speaking out after a group of nuns endorsed the proposed healthcare reform measure.


The group of nuns under the umbrella of the Catholic Leadership Conference of Women Religious (LCWR) has publicly broken ranks with U.S. Catholic Bishops who oppose the bill.  Father Frank Pavone, national director at Priests for Life, tells OneNewsNow that most nuns who are members are actually pro-life.

Father Frank Pavone (Priests for Life)"It's just that they are severely misinterpreting the effect this bill will have on the lives of the unborn and by extension on the health -- the moral health, the physical health -- of our entire nation," he explains. "Abortion is far more destructive than apparently they are taking account of when they take this particular position."

The group claims to represent 59,000 nuns, but Pavone believes it may only be the 59 nuns who signed the letter. "The accuracy in what they're saying is that they, together, collectively have responsibility for that many nuns," he notes. "It certainly doesn't mean they all agree with this."

Since a vote on the healthcare measure could come soon, the Priests for Life national director is urging people to contact their elected representatives in Washington, even if they have done so before, and urge them to reject the current bill.

In another sign that Catholics are weighing in on both sides of the debate, The Associated Press reports that a retired Catholic bishop supports President Obama's healthcare overhaul, despite the church's official opposition. Retired Bishop John McCarthy of Austin, Texas, says he is opposed to abortion and believes that the bill before Congress would guard against using taxpayer funds to pay for it.

  1. Those Nuns need to read Sec 1303, Sub B through Sub C of the bill, 3590, that's going to be voted on tomorrow.
    They would be wise to follow what's going on.

  2. Strange, the Vatican was against the Iraq War. Ya'll didn't care what they thought then so why now?

  3. Joe I wasn't for the Iraqi war when it started so get your facts straight. The Democrat were for the war and then when it lasted longer then they wanted they wanted to cut and run. Wussies. Once we got into the war I wanted to win it and you on the left wanted to loose it so Bush and the Republicans would look bad. You liberals would kill to get your way and that is just more proof of that fact Joe.

  4. Chris, i opposed the Iraq war. I didn't buy into the lies told to convince congress, the UN and the American people.

    As for the rest of that drivel about winning and losing that's just garbage. The war was planned and run badly. That is what drove people away from it. Not wanting to lose. Where do you get these ideas from? Do you ask liberals or do you decide what they feel?

  5. The Iraq war was a plan by the Republicans to kill the Iraq people and the black soldiers that are fighting there. This isn't a war for oil that has been proven. But it is a war for the color of a persons skin. Why is America letting the blacks in Africa get killed without a peacekeeper? Even now the white Congress is killing people of color.

  7. Try reading what she put on bruces blog if you think she is a plant. She has been writing like that for months now. There has yet to be a real incident of racism from the right even though there have been numerous racist attacks from the left.

  9. Chris, whomever this person is, i doubt that they are real. I'm still leaning towards it being one of you guys having fun using a charicture of an angry black woman.

  10. sure sure Joey. I guess the caricature of an angry negro woman got your password and called Mark Adams an attention whore, and called me your prison bitch. LOL

    Difference here is that I can laugh off being called names, because that's all they are and I am aware that all you regressives are, by nature, unhinged individuals so I expect it from you nuts. Also I have enough self-confidence that I could care less what you nutjobs think or say.
