“Serious Moral Issues” – Are You Kidding Me?

The US Conference of Catholic Bishops recently denounced the President’s contraception compromise WHICH WAS WELCOMED by the Catholic Health Association, the Association of Jesuit Colleges and Universities AND Catholic Charities.  The compromise EXEMPTS religiously affiliated universities and hospitals from offering contraception coverage and passes the coverage on to health insurers.

I am a Catholic and I have had “SERIOUS MORAL ISSUES” with Catholic bishops for years. Here is the reason why.  It blew my mind when sexual molestation by Catholic priests was exposed revealing that CATHOLIC BISHIOPS EXERCISED THEIR POWERS to, secretly, shuffle their child molesters from one parish to the next rather than take actions to have those molesters answer to the law.  That was the height of IMMORALITY!

Catholic bishops need to follow the TRUE moral values of on the ground, faith-based organizations such as the Catholic Health Association, the Association of Jesuit Colleges and Universities, and Catholic Charities instead of, blindly, being led into the, UNDERLYING, “War on Women” MANIPULATED by 2012 Republican presidential candidates and other Right Wing Zealots who USE Christianity for political convenience rather than putting Christianity into practice!
