It\u2019s pretty well known at this point that, in response to the Bishops\u2019 continued resistance to Obama\u2019s naked assault on the Catholic Church, his White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said that the problem is the Bishops have never supported health care reform<\/a>.\u00a0 Here is the quote:<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd I would simply note with regard to the bishops that they never supported health care reform to begin with, of which this is an important element.\u201d <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Now anyone with more than a \u2018Reality 101\u2019 class under their belts knows that if nothing else, the Catholic Church has been behind the push for many social justice related issues, the reform and coverage of people by way of health care being just one among many.\u00a0 This dates back decades, arguably for most of the last century.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

So, is Mr. Carney, who represents the Obama administration, ignorant of this?\u00a0 Does this demonstrate a gross lack of desire to actually understand the very Faith that this legislation so directly impacts?\u00a0 Or is it merely a lie, told to a complacent and willing press corps whose only primary ethical consideration at this point is Reelect Obama At All Costs?\u00a0 Hard to say. It might just be that the White House is counting on our country of pundits, not principles; hoping that people don\u2019t care if it\u2019s right or true or wrong or false, just so they win in the end.\u00a0 We\u2019ll have to wait and see.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
