Protests of Obama Health Ruling at Mass

Reuters reports:

U.S. Catholic bishops and priests across the country read out letters at Mass on Sunday protesting plans by President Barack Obama's administration to force religiously-affiliated nonprofit groups to offer birth-control coverage to women employees.

On Jan 20, the Obama administration made final a proposal requiring most employer-sponsored health plans to offer women contraceptive services including sterilization without copays, co-insurance or deductibles.

Religious authorities including the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops condemned the rule as a violation of religious conscience and the constitutional right to religious freedom.

In an organized protest, numerous local media reported on Sunday that Catholic clergy read out letters of protest Mass.

The "organized protest" wasn't too organized.

There was no mention whatsoever of the Obama administration's violation of the Constitution and disregard for religious liberty at the Mass I attended.

I'm glad some priests across the country informed the faithful of Obama's abuse and spoke out against it.

Unfortunately, the message wasn't relayed at every Mass over the weekend.
