Finally! Catholic Church Getting Politically Active, Plan to Forcefully Confront Obama on Abortion.....
About time......
BALTIMORE - In a direct challenge to President-elect Barack Obama, America's Roman Catholic bishops vowed on Tuesday to accept no compromise for the sake of national unity until there is legal protection for the unborn.
About 300 bishops, gathered in Baltimore for their national meeting, adopted a formal blessing for a child in the womb and advised Chicago's Cardinal Francis George, president of the conference, as he began drafting a statement from the bishops to the incoming Obama administration. That document will call on the administration and Catholics who supported Obama to work to outlaw abortion.
"This is not a matter of political compromise or a matter of finding some way of common ground," said Bishop Daniel Conlon of Steubenville, Ohio. "It's a matter of absolutes."
The bishops, long one of the leading political forces against abortion, spent the first part of Tuesday behind closed doors reportedly debating the merits of "Faithful Citizenship," a nuanced guide for Catholic voters issued last November.

The Obama thug squad will immediately sic the IRS on the tax exempt status of any church that goes against him. Guarenteed.

SJH,
If they went after a plumber, they surely will go after the church.

Good luck with that. I don't think Obsama holds the Catholic church in as high esteem as he does Planned Parenthood, abortionists or Code Pink.
