Time Magazine staff writer Amy Sullivan is coming under fire for writing that the US bishops support language in one of the House bills that paves the way for abortions. Immediately she came under fire for her "wild accusation", as LifeNews puts it. Apparently a letter from Cardinal Rigali was misinterpreted to mean that he supports the Capp Amendment. While he set that straight, I'm not sure Ms. Sullivan is entirely wrong. As the saying goes, the broken clock is right at least twice a day.
The bishops seem intent on dithering and dilly-dallying about amendments and such, but even the USCCB website betrays their support for the basic concept of "health reform" as the Messianic cabal is intent on dishing out to the public. What they adamantly refuse to accept is that the whole concept of socialized medicine is inherently anti-life. It places the state in the role of God in determining who will get inevitably rationed treatment. In doing so, it will increase the corporate arrogance of bureaucrats who will only be too greedy to grab more power for themselves. The US Church hierarchy needs a paradigm shift in its thinking, and it had better get on track to sending this health bill, and any other future boondoggles, down in flames.
