As Bugs Bunny Always Says, After All Reasonable Means Have Failed

…“Of course you realize THIS means war!“

Roman Catholic bishops, having expended untold energy on peaceful dialogue/constitutional reasoning with this administration/their EE-VILLE Ice Queen representitive, and, having been spurned and burned in the end by the dismissive Socialists at its helm, are taking matters actively into their own flocks. A letter was read in thousands of parishes this past Sunday, condemning the move to force religious groups to provide employee health insurance for procedures (like abortion) diametrically opposed to their religious beliefs.

But some bishops are taking it even further…

Want to know how seriously the Church in America takes this? One bishop directed that the Prayer to St. Michael be read at services within his diocese (h/t PJM):

Saint Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle;
be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray:
and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly host,
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

Why is that significant? Between 1930 and 1965, when it was last included in regular services, the prayer was recited for the benefit of believers trapped behind the Iron Curtain.

This isn’t just opposition; this is a declaration of war.

St. Michael’s a spear slingin’, serpent pinnin’ BAD ASS. As interventions go…oh, I LIKE it!

ths update: And St. Michael answers…

RUBIO INTRODUCES BILL TO REPEAL OBAMACARE MANDATE AGAINST RELIGIOUS FREEDOM

Rubio: “This is a common sense bill that simply says the government can’t force religious organizations to abandon the fundamental tenets of their faith because the government says so.”

Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) today introduced the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 2012, a bill to repeal a new ObamaCare mandate that violates the religious liberties and conscience rights of faith-based institutions by forcing them to offer employees insurance coverage for contraceptives.

Earlier this month, the Department of Health and Human Services finalized a new mandate that would require mostchurch-affiliated organizations to offer their workers private insurance coverage without out-of-pocket charges for birth control. The administration ignored efforts by numerous faith-based organizations to be granted an exemption on religious grounds.

“The Obama Administration’s obsession with forcing mandates on the American people has now reached a new low by violating the conscience rights and religious liberties of our people,” said Rubio. “Under this President, we have a government that has grown too big, too costly and now even more overbearing by forcing religious entities to abandon their beliefs. This is a common sense bill that simply says the government can’t force religious organizations to abandon the fundamental tenets of their faith because the government says so.”

HAH!

   Why not a declaration of war? Obama’s already fighting an undeclared war on America.

   No sign of Azrael and his flaming sword yet.

   I wouldn’t call it a declaration so much as a realization that war is already in progress.

   A declaration of reality, ‘fly? Sounds reasonable.
