Catholic Fire

Today I received this email from Helen Alvare : Greetings Jean, Once again, the Obama Administration has delivered an unacceptable “compromise” regarding the HHS Mandate and religious freedom. Today the White House expanded the exemption to church-affiliated non-profit organizations, but refused to extend it to individuals and for profit business owners—such as the Greens with Hobby Lobby. I have reviewed it and have several takeaways: 1. The first "expansion" of the exemption is as small as the government could make it.  Religious organizations which exist to spread the faith (i.e. Churches)-- when they also do things like serve the poor or educate kids in a religious school--may have the exemption for those ministries as well as the Church itself. 2. Religious institutions who are not primarily in the business of spreading the faith-- likely hospitals, schools, etc.-- can have the exemption after a complicated "self-certification" procedure, but th...

A Kansas resident who has testified before legislative committees several times on her personal experience of being coerced into having an abortion asked Gov. Kathleen Sebelius to sign legislation that would tighten Kansas abortion laws. Michelle Armesto-Berge issued her plea at a Tuesday afternoon press conference in Topeka. She urged Sebelius to sign Senate Bill 218, which the Legislature passed last week. Armesto-Berge said she was manipulated by her parents to have an abortion at George Tiller’s Wichita clinic when she was 25 weeks pregnant. Armesto-Berge said her unborn child was poisoned before she was given a consent form, or before she filled out a medical questionnaire. The legislation would amend the late-term abortion law so abortion providers are more likely to be held accountable for their actions, and to follow the law. The legislation would amend current partial-birth abortion law so that it matches federal statute, and allow for civil-action suits to be brought against...

Apparently Kathleen Sebelius had trouble with math in school. She can't get her taxes right. She can't remember how much money she's received from the infamous late - term abortionist Tiller the Killer. The Washington career of Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius may be in danger after it was revealed that the Health nominee reported only a fraction of her campaign contributions from Kansas' late-term abortionist George Tiller. At least one GOP senator reportedly said the issue has raised doubts among Republican senators about the governor, a well-known champion of abortion that Obama picked to head the U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services (HHS). After the full senate confirmation vote was delayed earlier this month, the Senate Finance Committee probed Sebelius' connection to notorious late-term Kansas abortionist George Tiller in a list of questions that were published this week with the governor's answers. However, in her answers Sebelius reported only about one...

Via LifeSiteNews.com: The Catholic Church in America has bred her own destroyers, graduating from doctrinally corrupt catechetical programs, schools and colleges two generations of pro-abortion politicians. Barack Obama, in his effortless Alinskyite style, has exploited this phenomenon to the hilt, seeking out Catholics such as Joe Biden and Kathleen Sebelius to serve as his agents of destruction. The controversy this week at Notre Dame is one more snapshot of this self-implosion. Here we have the American bishops' most prominent university planning to confer an honorary degree upon Obama even as he accelerates the destruction of its moral teachings. Were Saul Alinsky alive today, he would have to smile at the ease of it all. Obama can not only thwart the Church at every crucial turn and still retain the Catholic vote; he can even expect over the next few years prizes and pats on the back from Catholic colleges for doing so. Jesuit Georgetown University is no doubt itching to honor...

After nominee for Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Daschle (a Catholic -In Name Only) was forced to withdraw his name because he failed to pay his taxes, Barack Obama's second choice is even a stronger pro-abort -- Kansas governor Kathleen Sebelius (also a CINO). Kansas City Archbishop Joseph Naumann Sebelius' home bishop - has already said Sebelius should not recieve Communion because of her support for abortion . Read the details at Operation Rescue , LifeNews and the Associated Press . CINO Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius is at the top of the list and it would certainly be good to get her out of Kansas, where she is a strong advocate of late-term abortions. Here she protects and accepts blood money from late-term abortion George Tiller , but do we really want her as our nation's Health and Human Services Secretary? Doesn't Barack Hussein Obama have something more suitable for her abilities -- like White House plumber? I'm sure she could deal with the ...
