Question to Obama from Catholic voter: "What can you say about a healthcare bill that’ll mandate insurance companies to provide birth control, sterilization, etc. to employees of Catholic universities, hospitals and churches since this goes against the Catholic religion?"
Reporter, WWL-TV: "We know there is compromising language in place. Some say it doesn’t go far enough and that the real, the much bigger issue is religious liberty, not contraception."
President Obama: "It’s absolutely true that religious liberty is critical. That's what our country is founded on. That's the reason why we exempted churches, we exempted religious institutions.“But we did say that big Catholic hospitals or universities who employ a lot of non-Catholics and who receive a lot of federal money, that for them to be in a position to say to a woman who works there, 'you can’t get that from your insurance company, even though the institution isn’t paying for it,' that that crosses the line where that woman, she suddenly is going to have to bear the burden and the cost of that. And that’s not fair."

Know how the communists have taken S. America and C.America which is 99% Roman Catholic?? Those catholics would never accept communism but the communists infiltrated the church with things like pedophile priests, gay priests, and 1,000 other cuts to kill the church.
