Sr. Carol Keehan to Speak at John Carroll Society Dinner

Thanks to the American Papist/Catholic Vote blog that first alerted me to this.  The John Carroll Society, at its Annual Dinner and Awards function, is scheduled to host Sr. Carol Keehan as a speaker.  The event is scheduled for April 14, starting at 6:30pm at the Four Seasons Hotel in Washington.

Clearly this arrangement was made quite some time ago, well before Sr Carol sold millions of unborn babies down the river by throwing the weight of her Catholic Health Association behind the Obama Hell Care bill.  However, it is also clear that in light of last week's events, that the John Carroll Society should rescind its invitation to Sr Carol.

It is up to us, the laity - that means YOU, dear reader - to alert the John Carroll Society to the implications of her besmirching the honor of their society. 

The contact information for the John Carroll Society is here.  Please make sure your messages are cordial and informational.  I for one have no reason to believe that they will disregard our good-will attempts to inform them.  Remember how well the Catholic Information Center responded to our communications and how they gladly did the right thing in revoking their invitation to the Roberts.

Here are some talking points:

• On or about March 12th, the Catholic Health Association endorsed the bill in its present form.
• Archbishop Joseph Naumann took issue with the Catholic Health Association for their apparent disregard to the anti-life measures inherent in the Health Bill.
• The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, on March 15th, issued a release stating that they would oppose the bill in its present form.  The Catholic Health Association took a position in contradiction to, and in defiance of, the bishops.
• Sister Carol was present as an honored guest when Obama signed the bill.  She was even given one of the pens as a reward for her assistance in greasing the skids for this bill.

I truly believe the John Carroll Society will do the proper thing and rescind that invitation.  But we must alert them to this problematic situation.

A CCHD / Catholic Health Association Link??

On November 17, I posted about a panel of Catholic women, at which both John Carr and Sister Carol Keehan spoke.  Both of them were whining about "polarization", which is to say they were whining about their double-talk being exposed.  That post of mine had other links containing information about John Carr.  In a nutshell, he is the Executive Director of the USCCB's Department of Justice, Peace and Human Development; this is the office that oversees the Catholic Campaign for Human Development.  Sister Carol Keehan is, of course, the "religious" (?) who violated her vows and sold countless babies and other helpless people down the river when she aided and abetted the passage of the Obama Hell Bill.

Recall a few weeks ago, when there were calls for the USCCB to sever its ties with the Catholic Health Association (of which Keehan is president) because of the latter's influence in the passage of the Hell Bill.  The USCCB demurs - of course.  You may also recall that this blog and other good sources have noticed, amongst the progressives who call themseles Catholic, that there are numerous "sharings" of directors and board members, etc.  Well, one such sordid little tie came to my attention this week, between the Catholic Health Association and the USCCB.  That "connection" has a name - John Carr!  One can see it on Carr's biography on the USCCB's website.  John Carr sits on the board of directors of the Catholic Health Association. (A word to the USCCB trolls.  Don't bother to "edit" this incriminating little tidbit.  I cached the page already!)

This may shed some light as to why calls to sever any USCCB/CHA relationship were brushed off by the USCCB.  Remember - John Carr has oversight of the CCHD.  Also recall that we have yet to see the CCHD's 2011 Grantee List.

Catholic Health Association To Prostitute Itself (Again!) To Obama

The Catholic Health Association, with Sister Carol Keehan still at the helm, just commenced a three-day meeting at the Marriott Wardham Park in northwest Washington DC.  They will be discussing Obamacare (crammed down our throats with the help of Keehan) and the "future" of health care.

To add insult to the injury, the three-day gab-fest will conclude this Tuesday June 9 with an address from the Messiah Most Miserable himself.  Gushes Keehan (with my comments in red), "As long-time supporters of a health care system that works for everyone not the unborn babies and those facing death panels and pays special attention to those who are poor and vulnerable, we are grateful for the President’s leadership on the ACA you know, the 2000+ page monstrosity that Pelosi said we'd have to pass to learn what's in it."

Work demands will keep me from protesting; otherwise I'd be there raising my voice.  The Catholic Health Association does not deserve to be called Catholic, given the way it threw not only the Catholic Church, but the entire country under the bus, all so they could curry the favor of the obamanista regime; and now they're gloating over it.  I am grateful that this affair isn't occurring on Catholic property and pray that no prelates will be in attendance (that means you, Cardinal McCarrick!).

CHA = Catholic Health Asininity

Today's Pewsitter was quite informativie about more lunacy emanating from the so-called "Catholic" Health Association.  Recall that a few days ago, the Obama Hell Bill was ruled unconstitutional.  The main focus was the individual mandate provision, but because the bill lacks a severability clause, the whole thing was thrown out - as it should have been!  However, six medical groups filed an amicus curie brief to preserve the Obama Hell bill.  Amongst these was - you guessed it! - the Catholic Health Association.  Sister Carol Keehan must be worried that if the Obama Hell Bill goes in the trash, her Pen of Perfidy will run out of ink!  Pewsitter asks a good question, though.  Since the USCCB did not support the House's vote to repeal the mess, what might have been their collective opinion of CHA's stance on the suit?

In related news, many learned last week that Catholic Healthcare West, a subsidiary of the CHA, is funding a network that includes Planned Parenthood.  We all will recall that a few months ago, Bishop Olmsted of Phoenix rapped the knuckles of CHW by stripping one of their hospitals of its status as "Catholic" for authorizing an abortion within its premises.  Sadly, I'm not surprised.

Catholic Charities Centennial Gathering - Dissent Fest Par Excellance!

On the back page of the August 19th issue of the Catholic Standard is a full-page advertisement for the Catholic Charities Centennial Gathering.

On the Board of Trustees of Catholic Charities is - wait for it! - Sister Carol Keehan.  Yes - the same who used her position as President of the Catholic Health Association to help shove through the Obama Hell Bill.  We know what that will do to the unborn babies, the elderly and infirm, and that is the very antithesis of true Catholic charity.  So why, oh why, is she retained on that board?

During the event, they will award something called the Centennial Medal to several recipients.  Some of these are:

• Catholic Health Association - in other words, Sister Carol Keehan
• Sister Maureen Joyce - I hope they plan a posthumous award, as the lady died three months ago.  The blurb in the CC webpage doesn't mention this. 
• Cardinal McCarrick - Many of us have said this before, but it obviously needs more repetition.  The bestowal of Holy Communion upon flagrant pro-abortion politicians is the opposite of true charity.  Not only does the politician incur the guilt of yet another mortal sin, that of sacriligeous Holy Communion, but by formally and materially cooperating in that sin, the minister of that Holy Communion may incur guilt of mortal sin himself.

Let's look at some speakers and guests.  We have:

• Norah O'Donnell, MSMBC correspondent - Those of us who oppose the Ground Zero mosque are charmed to hear her compare us to the 9/11 terrorists.
• Diana Aviv, President, Independent Sector - Read this about Independent Sector.  I'm not surprised.  She gave, in total, $3,000.00 to Obama's presidental campaign.
• Sister Carol Keehan - What more needs be said?
• Andrea Levere - She donated $500 in 2004 to Americans Coming Together (ACT), a PAC organized to elect Democratic (thus pro-abortion) candidates to office
• Janet Lawson - donated $1,000.00 to elect Obama

The political donation data was found on newsmeat.com.  While the great majority of people associated with the gala had no recorded donations, I did not see one donation to Republicans.

This meeting will occur at the Hilton Washington, located at 1919 Connecticut Avenue, NW, Washington DC  20009.  This is in the Dupont Circle neighborhood.  It's from Saturday September 25th till Tuesday September 28th.  Here is a detailed schedule.

This is typical fare for organizations such as this.  As we just learned of this, we don't know yet how we'll make our voices heard.  I did want to advise all of this event, and the problems incumbent with it.  Stay tuned.

Church's Charitable Umbrella Organizations Are Decidedly Uncharitable

During the past two days I linked to stories detailing how the Catholic Campaign for Human Development and Catholic Charities are serving anti-life agendas.  Unfortunately the accounts of their misuse of Catholic money continue to accumulate, and the Catholic Relief Services seems to be following suit.

The Lepanto Institute recently exposed the production by Catholic Relief Services of a sex-education program in Rwanda.  It promotes the usage of abortifacients, contraceptives, masturbation and homosexuality.  The program is called "My Changing Body" and it is produced in partnership with Georgetown University's Institute for Reproductive Health.  Ostensibly Georgetown used to be Catholic, but it too has jettisoned all authentic Catholicism from its life and is Catholic in name only.  The Lepanto site links to their full report on "My Changing Body"and has screenshots of some of the material used by that program.  It is immoral, anti-life - and funded with Catholic donations.

The Lepanto Institute learned something brand-new about the CCHD this week.  We know from many years of their misbehaviors that they've funded all sorts of anti-life and socialistic ventures, but apparently "community organizing" has taken a new turn - marijuana farms!  This is occurring in California (of course!).  The California Center for Cooperative Development received $50k to start some "medical marijuana cooperatives".  Next we hear they'll be starting some avant-garde opium dens or safe-haven needle exchange projects - oh wait! - Catholic Charities beat them to it several years ago!

Speaking of Catholic Charities, they have a new president - Sister Donna Markham.  She worked for a while at Georgetown University (there's that name again!) and then became prioress of the Adrian Dominicans.  Under her less-than-illustrious leadership, this order joined the Catholic Health Association and helped ramrod through Obamacare, in direct opposition to the bishops.  She's been associated with the Leadership Conference of Women Religious, serving a term as its president.  When the Vatican launched its investigation into the LCWR, she waxed both arrogant and indignant at the Church for so doing.  Such is Catholic Charities' leadership.

I do want to highlight a few things about CCHD's ongoing linkage to Alinskyian community organizing.  It is alive and well; one must remember that CCHD was founded with the express purpose of funding socialistic and atheistic endeavors with the contribution dollars of unwitting Catholics.  My colleague Stephanie Block has done much work in exposing these "community organizing" outfits for the menaces that they are.  In this piece she exposes the linkage between the Industrial Areas Foundation with illegal immigration.  Recall that a few days ago I exposed the misdeeds of Action In Montgomery.  AIM was front-and-center with the left-wing as they were shilling for the DREAM Act a year or two ago in Maryland.  AIM is an IAF affiliate.  In her next piece detailing the Senate campaign of rabid pro-abort Loretta Sanchez and IAF's support for her, Stephanie details how Sanchez's supporters relied on the votes of newly-naturalized aliens to defeat pro-life Bob Dornan for the US Congress.

Many Catholics are unaware (or they won't accept) that their contributions to Catholic Charities, Catholic Relief Services and/or Catholic Campaign for Human Development actually serve to undermine the Church and facilitate death and destruction, both spiritually and physically.  It's time to say #no2cchd, #no3crs and #no2cathcharities.

USCCB Kisses Up To Catholic Health Association

Remember when USCCB President Bishop Timothy Dolan referred to God, during a televised interview, as "him, her, whatever you want"?  Well, once again he has managed to cram both episcopal feet into his episcopal mouth (thanks to ALL for the alert, by the way".  In an interview last month with National Catholic Reporter, the bishop had this to say about relations with the Catholic Health Association: “It’s not that the CHA is working on the side of the hospitals, while the bishops are trying to preserve a pure morality because it’s being chipped away.  Philosophically, we’re on the same page.”

As Judie Brown said, a history lesson is in order for the USCCB president.  Not only did the CHA give the Obama Hell Scare Bill the final push it needed to pass the House, but Sister Carol Keehan placed herself on the side of St Joseph's hospital in Phoenix, when the latter was stripped of its Catholic status for authorizing an abortion to be committed on its premises. 

In light of these events, how on earth can the USCCB state of the CHA "philosophically, we're on the same page"?  Could it be that the USCCB knows that Sister has Obama's favor and gratitude for her treachery towards the Church and the babies in helping cram through the Hell Bill?  Why is there this incessant practice on the part of the USCCB to lick the boots of those who wield clout in the kingdom of this world?

Some call for the reform of the USCCB.  I call for its complete abolishment, thankful that this cabal wields no inherent majesterial authority.  Then I'd suggest study of Pope Leo XIII encyclical, as mentioned in yesterday's post.

An Excellent Email to Gonzaga - And Silly Response from Gonzaga!

A reader of this blog sent the following email to the Gonzaga administration this past Friday. I commend her for the research that she did and do commend the links to your reading. The linked information sheds additional light on the nefarious deeds of Sister Carol Keehan and like-minded cronies, and the harm that they are doing to the Faith and to human life in general. And now, the email…

Dissent-Fest At Catholic University Of America, May 2-3

Catholic University of America is hosting a conference entitled “120th Anniversary of Rerum Novarum: Church, Labor, and the New Things of the Modern World."  It will be held at the Edward J. Pryzbyla Center from May 2 till May 3.  More details can be found on this CUA page.

What we really have here is another venue from which to plug a progressive, socialistic mindset that masquerades as authentic Catholic social teaching.  It is anything but real teaching.  Let's look at the gang of usual supects that are some of the speakers at this thing.  It is quite eye-opening!

Another Dissident Nun Rewarded By Obama

Remember a few days ago, when I reported the breathtaking naivte of Archbishop Dolan when he said of the Catholic Health Association and the USCCB "philosophically we're on the same page"?  Your Excellency, we all hope and pray that you're incorrect, because the leopard known as the Catholic Health Association is not changing its stripes - and makes no bones about it!

Last week Sister Carol Keehan reiterated her support for the Phoenix hospital that authorized the murder of a baby.  Sure, she paid some perfunctory lip service to Bishop Olmsted's authority, but golly gee, she had no idea those statements would be made public.  My!  Isn't it so, so difficult to remain two-faced when your statements are broadcast?  Well, push comes to shove and she comes down squarely on the side of baby-murder.

It now appears that another dissident nun now enjoys the good will of the Messiah Most Miserable for her assistance in passing the Obama Hell Scare bill.  This would be Sister Marlene Weisenbeck, who is the chair of the CHA's Sponsorship/Canon Law Committee (probably a lot more expert on the "sponsorship" than the "canon law" part - I digress again!).  She is also a former president of the Leadership Council of Women Religious.  The Messiah Most Miserable appointed her to his Council for Faith-Based Partnerships.  Why?  Because while she was president of the LCWR, she led them in their support of the Hell Bill.  So now in this plum appointment Weisenbeck has received her "30 pieces of silver".

ALL Urges Bishops To End Relationship With Catholic Health Association

Today the Ameican Life League issued a press release urging the USCCB to end its relationship with the Catholic Health Association.  The press release lists a number of outrages committed by the CHA, some of which were mentioned here previously.  I urge you to read the release, and review the materials linked therein.

I would actually take this a step further, as I believe that both organizations do a gross disservice to the Church.  You might recall that USCCB president, Archbishop Timothy Dolan, stated a few days ago, regarding USCCB and CHA, "philosophically, we're on the same page."  I fear he is correct, but not in the way he'd like us to think.  Both organizations need to be abolished.

Catholic Standard Follies - Sister Carol Keehan Whines!

On page 9 of the November 18th edition of the Catholic Standard, we have a report of the November 12th meeting of the National Council of Catholic Women.  This article, by the Catholic News Service, does not yet appear online at the Standard's website.  However, since CNS is national, their articles appear in other diocesan publications, and some of them have it on their websites.  This online article from AmericanCatholic.org is verbatum the same that is at the Standard.  Should the Standard post theirs online, I'll link to that.

The headline is "Reject partisan strife on Church issues, panelist urges Catholic women".  That particular panelist is none other than Sister Carol Keehan - yes the same woman who gave the Obama Hell Bill the final push that garnered it passage in the House of Representatives, selling babies down the river for a cheap pen (and perhaps many more goodies for her Catholic Health Association).

Sr Carol Keehan - Chair Of Providence Hospital Gala???

Cardinal George of Chicago has voiced his opinion that the HHS contraception/abortifacient mandate will cause all Catholic hospitals to close their doors within the next two years or to cease operating as Catholic institutions.  This mandate, of course, was foisted upon us by "katholyc" Kathleen Sebelius, HHS Secretary, through mechanisms built into the 2000+ page monstrosity known as Obamacare.

Those of us who fought to stave off this disaster in March of 2010 were betrayed by Sister Carol Keehan, president of the Catholic Health Association, who wielded her influence to get the measure passed by the House of Representatives.  Oh, yes, she postured and waxed thoughtful when the mandates first came out - but then we learned that she actually facilitated the sham of a compromise.

Comes now the news that Sister Carol Keehan will be the "honorary chair" of Providence Hospital's 2012 Gala. The announcement is here.  (Should it "disappear", please advise via a comment and I'll make it "reappear")  Additional information is here.

Think of the horrid irony of it all.  Sister is her colluding with the Messiah Most Miserable to attack the foundations of Catholic health care.  But a hospital that is being threatened by Sister's treachery is allowing her to chair their fundraising event.  The hospital directors and staff are literally going to kiss the hand that stabs them in the back!

Please contact Providence and ask them to select another gala chair who won't accept their honors on the one hand and on the other hand, work to undermine them.  Contact information is on the links listed above.

Should they not reconsider, we may have to picket.  Sister Carol is somewhat familiar with our pickets, I might add.

MD Elections - Ballot Question 4

Besides the all-important presidential election, there are a number of crucial matters that are specific to the State of Maryland.  Among these are four "general referendum" questions.  I will deal with these in the order in which they'll appear on our ballot.  This post will deal with Question 4 - the DREAM Act.

As you know (even if you may not accept it), there are a number of matters in this election that deal with intrinsic morality (abortion, homosexual relations, etc).  A Catholic who takes his/her faith seriously, indeed the salvation of his/her soul, will never deviate from the Church's teachings on these matters.  There are other issues that are within the realm of prudential judgment.  Economic issues are an example.  While we adhere to Christ's teaching to care for the poor, good people can and often do disagree on the proper means to do so.  It is even permissible to have such disagreements with Church structures on these matters.

Question 4 is one such matter where intrinsic morality is not in question.  Many good Catholics believe that the DREAM Act is seriously, even fatally flawed.  I myself hold that opinion.  Indeed, I believe this is one example of how the progressive elements in Church bureaucracies can ensnare themselves in imprudent alliances and actions.

Because this is a lengthy and thorough analysis,...

Catholic Charities And CCHD - Their Scandal Counts Are Ever Mounting

A few days ago I posted the discovery of Lepanto Institute that the director of a CCHD grantee organization (to the tune of $40k) performs same-sex marriage.  That gives us all an idea of his moral compass and how he might choose to misuse the grant that was garnered from the donations of Catholics in the pews.  On the same day, my friend and Catholic Media Colleague, Stephanie Block, published an article in Spero News Forum exposing yet another CCHD grantee called CAFE in New Mexico.  I won't rehash it here; please read it yourselves.  I will point out something she mentioned and that is her plans to expose other grantees in the future.  I'll post these as soon as I see them.  If you would like to do some research on your own (and I highly encourage it), the CCHD 2014-2015 grantee list is online at the USCCB site.  Take a look.  You may wish to download this pdf to your own computers in case it (ahem!) "mysteriously" disappears from the USCCB site!

Not to be outdone in scandal production by its CCHD cousin is Catholic Charities.  They too are rife with their own scandals; of these I have written in the past.  The latest (ht - LifeSiteNews) is their choice of president - Sister Donna Markham, O.P.  She comes with much sordid baggage.  I don't want to re-invent LifeSiteNew's wheel here but I will point out that as prioress of the Adran Dominicans, that order joined with the Catholic Health Association to press for Obamacare.  That order deliberately promulgated the lie that abortion would not at all be facilitated by Obamacare.

Speaking of Catholics shilling for Obamacare, I see that Sister Carol Keehan remains on the Board of Trustees for Catholic Charities.  I wonder if she brings her Pen of Perfidy to the board meetings?

Do not give either of these organizations a penny of your hard-earned money during those in-pew collections .  Same for Catholic Relief Services.  Just say #no2CCHD and #no2CatholicCharities and #no2CRS.

Guess Who's Endorsing the New Health-Rationing Czar???

The Messiah Most Miserable did a "recess appointment" yesterday, nominating Dr Donald Berwick as administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.  He has made numerous statements at odds with decent medicine regarding health rationing and end-of-life issues.

Well, guess who issued this statement, "We agree that the administration needs Dr. Berwick in place now as CMS chief in order to work on the mandates created under the health care overhaul, especially since CMS has not had a permanent administrator since 2006..Dr. Berwick is a visionary with great insight and knowledge of the health care delivery system based on his perspectives as a physician and teacher, as well as being a decades' long champion for safe, effective high-quality care."

Can't guess?  Here are some hints:

1. Cardinal McCarrick has gone out of his way to honor her.
2. A goodly number of us picketed her appearance at Gonzaga's commencement.
3. The USCCB issued public statements deploring her stances.

Yep!  It's Sister Carol Keehan!  How many times can she put her foot in her mouth?  Perhaps as many times as it requires to ensure that the Catholic Health Association gets a "piece of the pie"?  Of course that's just speculation, but an arguably reasonable one - wouldn't you say?

Komen And Planned Parenthood - More Overly-Cozy Connections

Eric Winer, Chief Scientific Advisor for Susan G. Komen for the Cure, published an open letter, attempting to deflect the adverse publicity that Komen's ties with Planned Parenthood has so richly deserved.  Read it here.  Judie Brown comments on this letter, and more.

As you read the Komen letter, you'll notice that they claim that the money that they donate to Planned Parenthood is used "only for breast health education, screening and treatment programs."  Well, even if that's true, all that means is that monies that Komen gives to Planned Parenthood will free up other dollars in Planned Parenthood's budget for abortion-related purposes.  Anyone who has any not-for-profit experience can attest to this budgeting practice.  So yes, monies given by Komen to Planned Parenthood will go towards abortion, even if only indirectly.

Catholic Commentary On SCOTUS Ruling - The Good And Not-So-Good

First let's look at the Vortex's take on the matter.  Click here if you can't see embedded video.



He focuses on one statement of Roberts: "It is not our job to protect the people from the consequences of their political choices."  Be Roberts' other statements ever so erroneous, this one isn't!  We need to look no further than the Catholic vote, and inane prattlings from "katholyc" persons and entities for prime examples of sheer stupidity.

Let's take a look at the statement that the USCCB issued on June 28th as a commentary to the Supreme Court ruling; it's posted on their website.  As you read it, take note of the fact that they don't oppose the individual mandate in principle.  In the second paragraph we read that "USCCB..took no position on the specific questions posed to the court".  They do oppose the coercion of religious employers to fund sterilization, contraceptives and abortifacients.  The "million dollar question" I have for the USCCB is this:  How on earth can you claim mandate exemptions for religious organizations (including yourselves) yet look with approval upon the forcing of other people to purchase any commodity which they may not desire to have (for whatever reason)?  Dear USCCB, your stance reeks of sheer hypocrisy!!

Sister Simone Campbell, who is leading the Nuts Nuns On The Luxury Bus schmooze tour, issued an opinion that was published on a Washington Post blog.  After all the contortions that she puts forth, she opines of Obamacare that "this law is pro-life".  Amazing, but you read it yourself!  Of course she'll never meet the babies that will be killed by the abortifacients that Obamacare will coerce the public to fund.  As those children are nothing to the Obama cartel, so they are to Campbell and her NETWORK bus bunch.

In other related news, we read that Sister Carol Keehan and her so-called "Catholic" Health Association are "pleased" by the Obamacare ruling.  Moreover, she states that the CHA signed amicus briefs urging the SCOTUS to rule in favor of Obamacare.  Well, golly-gee-whiz!!  After we all thought she was beginning to wake up and smell some coffee!   Some progressive operative must have taken her to the woodshed - or perhaps promised her another Pen of Perfidy.  Yawn!  This is no earth-shattering shock.

So as not to end this post on such a dour note, I link now to an interview with Archbishop Joseph Naumann of the Archdiocese of Kansas in Kansas conducted by the Catholic World Report.  He has good things to say regarding the principle of subsidiarity (a principle obviously disregarded and even disobeyed by the USCCB as illustrated above), why the social justice arm of the USCCB was wrong to demonize Paul Ryan's budget proposal and more.  Please read it.  In a subsequent post I will put forth my opinion on what we must do if we wish to fend off the Obamacare monster.

Obama And Keehan Gloat Together

The meeting about which I posted Sunday did indeed occur this past Tuesday.  Obama did crow before the Catholic Health Association.  During that speech he told the CHA and in particularly Sister Carol Keehan.  Some snippets:

• "We could not have gotten the ACA done without Sister Carol.."
• "Without your (im)moral force we could not have succeeded.." (italicized letters my editorial contribution)

These statements of the Messiah Most Miserable are factually correct.  They underscore the utter betrayal wrought by Sister Carol Keehan and her poorly-named Catholic Healthcare Association.  I won't go into all the other evils of Obamacare; suffice it to say that its facilitation of abortion and contraception, even to the point of forcing Catholics to pay for it, is a complete, utter travesty.  During the meeting, Obama quipped, "I just love nuns generally."  Somehow I don't think the Little Sisters of the Poor are "feeling the luuuv!" from the Messiah Most Miserable.

A Useful St Patrick's Day Thought from Real Catholic TV

This is much more relevant to Catholicism and to the real St Patrick than are lepruchans, green food dye in everything edible and that "kiss me, I'm Irish" nonsense.



In order to get the snake-purging campaign off to a good start, I'd suggest immediate expulsion of the CCHD (about which I've written copiously), Catholic Health Association and Network (who have both today wrecked much havoc).  They might want to immediately follow that up with every Catholic politician who votes pro-abortion and pro-gay.  That is not an all-inclusive list of snake-expulsion needed, but it would be a wonderful start.
