[CWN_News]

The Eternal Word Television Network (EWTN) has filed a lawsuit to block implementation of the Obama administration’s policy calling for mandatory coverage of contraception and …

I have no doubt that EWTN will refuse to comply when the time comes. My worry is whether the bishops will be as brave when the deadline comes. They’re at least starting to talk like shepherds confronting wolves. If we refuse to break, there’s really nothing they can do. There’s not enough jails to hold us all.

mmmm…I’m not sure…like someone pointed out to me on another thread…"Ever hear of the “Fema Camps”?

But…regardless, we have to have courage for whatever comes. God will give us the grace for whatever.

No, I haven’t. I’ve never heard of anyone forced from their own home and into a “FEMA Camp.”

I’m all for criticizing the Obama administration, but I like to be sure of my facts. This one sounds fishy.

If you are referring to Katrina victims, those trailers were provided as a mercy to people who had lost their homes in a weather disaster. They were not ‘deprived’ of anything by the government. On the contrary, the government gave them shelter, clothing and food.

I actually agree. When someone asked me if I’d ever heard of “Fema Camps”, I said I had to plead ignorant. I actually think no they wouldn’t come haul all of us away. But that’s if we all stick together. We must stand together in this battle.

If a President would impose this atrocious violation on his people, I really wouldn’t be too shocked at ***anything ***he might do though. I have never seen such an in your face imposition in all my life. It’s amazing.

Kudos to EWTN for practicing what they preach. A faith without the courage of its convictions is worth nothing.

And, if somehow, in the end, EWTN is brought down by the forces it opposes, then the network would live on in the hearts and minds of Catholics everywhere, as a noble entity that endured a particular sort of martyrdom for the cause of Christ.

Mother Angelica certainly approves of this type of bold defense of our religious freedoms. She is a woman of substantial resolve. Time for all of us to be so bold; we must stand up and resist!

Couldn’t agree more! BTW, Fr. Sirico on Raymond Arroyo tonight said that Priests for Life, and several other Catholic organizations have filed suit.

God bless EWTN. I pray for EWTN, and the Catholic bishops. Almighty God, protect and defend EWTN against the tyranny the Obama administration has unleashed upon Holy Mother Church and her mission throughout this country. May EWTN, Catholic Charities, hospitals, schools, affiliations, and foundations succeed in their opposition to the unholy mandate.

St. Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle.
Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the Devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray,
and do thou,
O Prince of the heavenly hosts,
by the power of God,
thrust into hell Satan,
and all the evil spirits,
who prowl about the world
seeking the ruin of souls. Amen…

Heavenly Father, send the Holy Spirit to aid, console, inspire, and empower EWTN and the U.S. Bishops in this undertaking. May God bless everyone at EWTN for standing up for religious freedom, and promoting Christian values, charity, and morality. This we pray through Christ our Lord, Amen.
