Catholic Health Care & Chucky

Just like Chucky, they keep coming back. Only this time it's the Catholic Health Association (CHA) against the US Bishops. Like Chucky the demonic doll that would not die, the Catholic Health Association took the wrong path on the yellow brick road and continue to support President Obama's Health Care, in spite of the bishops condemnation.

 

All of this came about after our president met with insurers and commissioners about implementing his health care reform. Catholic Health Association immediately took the opportunity to praise and laud the legislation. Of course they did. They were the key players. After all, they got more than a pen.

 

"Once fully enacted, we are confident, that the Affordable Care Act will provide access for more affordable insurance products, and a greater sense of security for over 32 million people in this country that currently lack these protections. We continue to applaud the president for his strong leadership in this important area."  Hmmmm. I thought their leadership was the Roman Catholic Church, as personified in the teaching authority of the bishops. Hmmmm. "Render onto Caesar that which is Caesar's, and unto God the things that are God's." I have to ask the CHA, who are these 32 millions people anyway? Every heard of the rule of law? Ever heard of the rule of the Church?

 

The statement also came on the heels of remarks by Cardinal Francis George, president of the US Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), who re-emphasized earlier this month that CHA's endorsement dealt a "wound to the Catholic unity" and "weakened the moral voice" of the Catholic hierarchy, by giving Catholic Democrats political cover to vote for the bill.   

According to LifeSiteNews, pro-life leaders last week issued a challenge to CHA to prove its' fidelity to the pro-life teachings of the Catholic Church by supporting the Protect Life Act, which would amend the federal health care legislation to bar public funds from going to abortion. The Catholic Health Association has not answered LifeSiteNews.com's request, to date.

 

Chucky's not dead yet. Catholic Health Association is relentless in their disobedience.
