| President Obama Signed the Healthcare Bill on March 23, 2010 |
(EWTN News) — President Barack Obama has not kept his promises about conscience protections for abortion opponents, and those who trusted him to exclude abortion from the health-care bill seem to “have been played,” Archbishop Thomas Wenski of Miami said.THE CATHOLIC KNIGHT: You were warned your excellency. You and your brother bishops were all warned. We Catholic bloggers told you this day would come. We yelled it from the top of our lungs. YOU CANNOT TRUST PROGRESSIVE LIBERALS!!! YOU CANNOT TRUST BARACK OBAMA!!! YOU CANNOT TRUST THE LIKES OF NANCY PELOSI!!! (My God! Is she still in the Church? Have you not excommunicated her yet!?! What does this woman have to do to be excommunicated???) WE WARNED YOU. YOU DID NOT LISTEN. WHERE IT NOT FOR YOUR SUPPORT, OBAMACARE WOULD HAVE NEVER PASSED. BUT YOU DID SUPPORT IT, AND YOU TRUSTED THOSE WHOM YOU KNEW WERE NOT TRUSTWORTHY. NOW WE MUST ALL PAY THE PRICE!!!
“His administration is running roughshod over conscience-protection provisions’ long part of the law that find their justification in the First Amendment guarantee of freedom of religion, a foundational human right,” the archbishop wrote in a Dec. 2 essay in the Miami Herald.
“It is one thing for an administration to support and promote an agenda; it is quite another to force those who disagree with it to violate their moral and religious principles.”

The first to pay will be Catholic healthcare workers. Doctors, nurses and technicians will become the first martyrs of your naivety. Next it will be you! I do hope your excellencies will lead us now by example in martyrdom. I do hope you would not permit your sheep to be fined and jailed before you. I do hope you have not left us, the laity, to fight for the faith in your place. You led us into this situation, and since you cannot now lead us out of it, we do hope you will at least lead us into martyrdom.
In HIS Majesty's Service,
The Catholic Knight
(PS - I work in healthcare. I am prepared to be martyred for this. If I'm lucky, I may only lose my job. If necessary however, I am prepared to face fines and a prison sentence for following my conscience. It's just too bad my kids will have to go into poverty should it come down to that. Maybe you could help them out when the time comes?)

She has excommunicated herself. A publicly proclaimed excommunication—because it involves public matter—is absolutely necessary to stop the further spread of scandal, but unfortunately there are no courageous bishops that I know of doing so.
The U. S. Church leaders are so naive. They just can't see the forest for the trees.

I don't know why anyone actually believed that the US government would actually do what it says! Has it ever, when it comes to liberty?
NO!
Why does anyone EVER trust government, especially people of faith? They lie, lie, lie and when that doesn't work, they LIE!
I am not in healthcare but I stand with you, CK. O-care will force me and my family at the point of a gun to buy HC when I don't really need it...so I guess we can finally meet in a Federal cell, someday.

UK Catholic says – I’m appalled that the new laws seem to oblige US based Catholic health workers to potentially participate in abortions and other abhorrent practices. This is a very great evil. I hope that your constitution covers your rights to freedom of conscience and that this overrides the new legislation? I wonder if this may be a case of they have made a law that is unenforceable. I mean who is going to be the first to “take out an American Catholic “and fine/jail them for not taking part in an abortion. The publicity would be awful and the legal costs of a contested case truly astronomical. All the same it’s awful that such a law ignoring freedom of conscience is there on the statute books waiting for some “nut” to try and enforce it.
I will not comply. But be consoled we are already criminals. That are so many laws in the empire that every competent adult is a felon. The only thing keeping any particular person out of a gulag is that he hasn't come to the attention of a prosecutor or US Attorney.
