The Catholic Health Association needs to be disbanded, its headquarters salted and burned, and pantsuits burned in effigy as sign to all.
The Catholic Health Association is drawing condemnation today from pro-life advocates over a statement saying there is nothing wrong with the final version of the Obama HHS mandate that compels religious groups to pay for birth control, abortion.
“HHS has now established an accommodation that will allow our ministries to continue offering health insurance plans for their employees as they have always done,” CHA said in a memo issued this morning.
“We have prepared this explanation for members to help them understand the accommodation and how to implement it,” the memorandum states. “Throughout this process, CHA has been in dialogue with the leadership of the Bishops’ Conference, the Administration and HHS. We are pleased that our members now have an accommodation that will not require them to contract, provide, pay or refer for contraceptive coverage.”
This is not surprising, but still disgusting.
We really need to start excommunicating people. A religion that is afraid of excommunication does not really care for its own beliefs.

Please, let's excommunicate them. Bring out the candles and the bells. It will take hours, maybe even days, to get through the list, but this must be done. Even the Eucharistic Prayers have been changed to say 'many' rather than the former 'all.' Show some courage and get it done!!! Otherwise the rest of us will have no possibility of winning a reprieve that is already seeming unlikely. This move by Catholic Health Services undermines any Catholic who is fighting this persecution.

If it's one thing that organization understands is accommodation.
