Walsh Supports Catholic Church in Obamacare Challenge

A press release from Congressman Joe Walsh:

Congressman Walsh Stands with Catholic Dioceses and Charities in Suit for Religious Liberties

SCHAUMBURG – Today Congressman Joe Walsh issued a statement in support of the 43 Catholic dioceses, charities, and organizations that filed twelve different suits across the country against the Obama administration’s Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) mandate.

The HHS mandate forces Catholic organizations to provide contraception, a violation of Catholic beliefs.

“I’m proud to support these great religious institutions that are standing up for their right to practice their faith freely,” Walsh said.

“This attempt by the Obama administration to force religious organizations to provide something that violates their faith is appalling and works against our nation’s most core principles.

“I will continue the fight to reverse this mandate that tells religious organizations their beliefs have no place in society.

“The First Amendment, the cornerstone of our society, states that government shall not prohibit the free exercise of religion.

“This mandate sets a dangerous precedent, where government can dictate which religious beliefs are lawful and which are not.”

  1. Joe is on the right track again, where is Tammy Duckworth on this issue?

    Ad meum Dei Gloriam!!!

  2. Thank you Joe, please continue to defend the Constitution and the Bill of Rights!

    If we loose the 1st Amendment the rest of the amendments purposefully & systematically collapse.

    No person of faith should be shrugging this off.

    First they came for the Catholics….

  3. LC?

    EVERYTHING he does is AGAINST the Constitution.

    If you do not see what has been happening to your freedoms, you know nothing of history and what socialists bring.

    Mary hinted at it in her last line.

    Already the rule of law is GONE!

    Everything is at stake.

    God bless anyone that takes a stand (like Mr. Walsh)to uphold our Constitution that is being ripped from our hands daily.

  4. A Super American and a Patriot.

    He glows with enthusiastic Love for our County.

    God Bless Joe

  5. Follow the money: who are Joe’s contributors?

    Big business, that’s who.

    When his Irish ancestors came to this country, glad there weren’t Joe Walshes or John Bohners or they wouldn’t have enjoyed the freedoms of this country, the freedom to practice their Catholic religion.

    But now that they’re in, they want to deprive others of the same.

    This guy is so un-Christ-like in his racist comments.

    But, the sheep will follow.

    Guess how many Catholics, myself included as a married woman, have practiced birth-control.

    How do you think the big Catholic families got to be so small?

    little logic…
