The Archbishop of Boston is praising the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to uphold the Obamacare Insurance Mandate.
In his blog … Archbishop Sean Cardinal O’Malley is saluting the decision … claiming U.S. bishops have promoted access to health care as a basic human right for decades … arguing the need for the protection of Obama’s new coercive law.
O’Malley does call for increased religious freedom in the face of the HHS mandate … which forces all employers to include contraception abortion and sterilization in insurance plans … declaring quote … “The Church will continue to pursue these objectives vigorously.”
However … The Cardinal Archbishop’s refusal in May to join a lawsuit fighting the
contraception mandate … representing 43 groups including many dioceses and Catholic colleges across the U.S. … does contradict his statement.
O’Malley’s final thought in the article … his biggest complaint about Obamacare … is how crucial an issue it is for him that immigrants are still unable to receive insurance coverage.
You can read his article [at www.cardinalseansblog.org/2012/06/29/ordaining-six-new-priests-2/ and about it at www.patriotledger.com/blogs/frontpage/x1446668025/Cardinal-OMalley-Health-care-is-a-right ]
This O’Malley makes Law seem absolutely orthodox.
Let’s see; Nancy Pelosi ramrodded oMaoCare through Congress. Pelosi recently said that she knows her fellow baby butcher, Ted “the Slob” Kennedy, is in Heaven because the Supreme Court ruled in favor of oMaoCare. It was Sean “the Barefoot Contessa” Cardinal O’Malley who gave a lavish Catholic funeral, fit for royalty, for Kennedy the Butcher; and now the Contessa contradicts his fellow bishops by refusing to join their class action lawsuit against oMaoCare.
I’m shocked, shocked, I tell you.
I remember when this creep first took over Boston, the “conservative” Catholics were throwing palms out for him telling us he was going to clean up.
He’s turned out to be literally one of the worst of the worst.
His Eminence Cardinal Sean is merely regurgitating the USCCCP’s non-statement about the decision (reported and commented upon elsewhere on AQ: angelqueen.org/2012/06/28/supreme-court-upholds-pro-abortion-pro-rationing-obamacare/#comment-1230 ). He/they took no stand on the decision and thus implicitly supported it. Nor could he/they see the contradiction of supporting the coercion of the Obamacare “tax” to force as many people as possible to have health insurance–yet opposing the coercion of the Obamandate to force Catholic institutions to provide contraceptives, abortifacients, and sterilization.
