Why hasn’t anyone called the healthcare mandate a War on Catholics?.🤷

The so called “War on Women” is really about women getting their contraceptives, without having to pay for them. Whaaa!

Yet the Catholics will have their freedom taken away by refusing to participate in sales that go against their religious beliefs and having to close down charitable organizations due to financial and moral reasons.:mad:

The War on Women is actually coming from those who push the term onto those who have conservative values. The War on Women is telling them they are nothing but objects, that their femininity only serves one purpose (sexual), the War on Women is a man who wants to be intimate with a woman without commitment. The War on Women is convincing a woman that to be equal to a man, she must act like a man. It is odd how the War on Women is coming from the very people who claim “the other side” is waging the war.

Many Catholic adoption agencies have been forced to close their doors due to the “discrimination against homosexuals” laws. So yes, it will likely be that charitable orgs will have to close down.

We live in a world where it is increasingly difficult to function, offer services to those in need, (works of mercy) and though it is extreme, how long before we can no longer “buy, sell, or trade?”

It is a War on Catholics.

Good post.
 
Thsoe who are saying there is a war on women in America are disrespecting the real war on women - 25 million pre born girls killed. And what about women in Afghanistan etc?
 
It is a war on Catholics … at the same time it is equally a war on devout Moslems, orthodox Jews and those of our non-Catholic Christian brethren who are equally passionately anti-abortion and anti-artificial birth control.

So it is a bit like calling the Second World War the Second British War or the Second American War or something. Kinda disrespectful to the other countries that also fought and suffered.
 
It is not a war. It is not ‘on’ anyone. It is a difference in opinion in a democratic society over the requirements which the state may, or may not, impose on employers.

Hyperbole has so far been deployed by the ‘pro-life’ campaign since people began agitating for abortion law liberalisation. It has not worked. You should try something else, such as calm, respectful, reasoned argument that meets your opponents on their own ground. It is not nearly as much fun, but it could not possibly be less successful than the use of extreme argument, and extreme language has been.
 
Am sorry. It seems I went off on a tangent, I have grown so weary of hearing the term “war on women” and it being improperly used as a battlecry in an attempt to force people to go against their consciences. (ie; paying for contraception)

Also I completely avoided answering your question. The HHS mandate IS a war on Catholics, and as another member said, a war against any of our seperated brothers and sisters in Christ who have an objection to unnatural contraception.

Please forgive my tantrum.

Love in Christ.

There is more accurately a war on men. The media seems to enjoy portraying men as idiots, philanderers, unfaithful, lazy, sissies. Not to mention how clergy are portrayed.:eek:

Did you take a look at the Democratic convention? One speaker after the other pushing abortion, even to the point of mocking Catholicism while the Catholic VP stands buy and claps along with other catholic Democrats.

Yes, pro life groups have some loons but we have a Democrat President who would put NO restriction on abortion, that’s extreme! The war on women is a ginned up concept by the Democrats.

👍

How about we cut to the chase and call it what it ultimately is? The enemy waging war on all of us?

Yeah, I think that pretty well sums it up…

Especially with a keynote speaker that is known world wide as an abuser and rapist of women.
 
If there is a war on women, it is being waged by those who voted against the bill which would outlaw abortions based upon the gender of the unborn child.

It baffles me that the issue of gender selective abortions, which are overwhelmingly used to terminate pregnancies where a girl is expected, is not a front and center feminist issue.

I also can’t understand why feminists aren’t pushing for more women’s rights in countries where Islam rules the roost and women are not even treated as 2nd class citizens?🤷

In any war, the leaders need to motivate the troops by saying the enemy hates them and wants to hurt them. To take away what is rightly theirs. Well, this is a perfect example. One of the key strategies of other groups that disagree with the Church is to convince those in their ranks that (a) the Church is wrong, and (b) because they want their group to believe the Church is wrong, they ask for their trust that what they say is true. So, for them, it follows that the only reason the Church is against their group and what they want, is because the Church “hates” them. And when the Church asserts its teaching - then it’s time to go to War.

Nothing stirs the troops to a fighting frenzy more than EMOTIONAL words and spreading the belief that the enemy “Hates you.”

There’s no money in following Church teaching about chastity. None. The fact is, the more faithful we all are, the fewer pills, condoms and related anti-baby devices get sold.

Peace,
Ed

The Crusades was a war on Catholics. The HHS mandate is not a war on Catholics. If Catholic churches were made to marry gay couples, that would be a war on Catholics.

You shouldn’t be able to force your moral beliefs on your employees and that is what the mandate is addressing.

Abuser and rapist? Adulterer, certainly, but abuser and rapist? And I am assuming you mean Bill Clinton.

Of course they are. But how would you go about pushing for more rights in countries on the other side of the world?
