I was looking for a video of Stupak’s appearance on Greta Van Susteren, and came upon this:
Yowsa, that is pretty hardcore for Catholic Vote!

Statement by Cardinal Francis George, OMI
The Cost is too High; the Loss is too Great
The Catholic Bishops of the United States have long and consistently advocated for the reform of the American health care system. Their experience in health care and in Catholic parishes has acquainted them with the anguish of mothers who are unable to afford prenatal care, of families unable to ensure quality care for their children, and of those who cannot obtain insurance because of preexisting conditions.
Throughout the discussion on health care over the last year, the bishops have advocated a bipartisan approach to solving our national health care needs. They have urged that all who are sick, injured or in need receive necessary and appropriate medical assistance, and that no one be deliberately killed through an expansion of federal funding of abortion itself or of insurance plans that cover abortion. These are the provisions of the long standing Hyde amendment, passed annually in every federal bill appropriating funds for health care; and surveys show that this legislation reflects the will of the majority of our fellow citizens. The American people and the Catholic bishops have been promised that, in any final bill, no federal funds would used for abortion and that the legal status quo would be respected.
You can read the whole statement from the Bishops at The Corner.

I’m a Catholic and I say that Bishops should stay out of politics. Catholics should support Catholic hospitals that should treat the poor.

I’m not a Catholic and I say priests should stay out of boys. Catholics should clean up their own house before telling the rest of the world how to live.
