The Catholic bishops' capitulation to Obamacare
In light of the Affordable Care Act and its consequent HHS contraception-abortion mandate, the USCCB began by rejecting this mandate, which proclaims that no pre-born child should have the right to live, as being absolutely immoral for all people.
The USCCB then became angry that this mandate was going to be given legal priority over the religious freedom and consciences of devout Catholics.
After this, Church leaders entered into a bargaining mode. They believed that they could promote a favorable accommodation to the Church's teaching by compromising Church teaching and only seeking a religious exemption from this mandate, rather than the complete elimination of the mandate.
They also sought to increase their bargaining power by acting nicely toward the political purveyors of perversion.
They gave such political ideologues academic accolades. They gave them places of honor on the dais of major Church gatherings. They gave social justice awards to those promoting the butchery of pre-born babies. And they even gave invocations and benedictions at political conventions, which had just ratified resolutions to promote aborticide, sexual promiscuity and "gay marriage".
By and large, Church leaders in America have, by their silence, already allowed Planned Parenthood and other proponents of perversion to be the guiding lights for "family life education" programs in our public schools. Aside from the fact that the promotion of perverse perspectives on sexuality is a primary way of grooming children to be receptive to sexual experimentation and exploitation, the fact that over 75% of Catholic youth participate in such programs shows that we may soon be hemorrhaging souls out of our churches and into hell faster than we could ever imagine.
