Cardinal Timothy Dolan has made it very clear that he doesn’t like President Obama’s contraception mandate. And apparently, he and the Catholic Church are prepared to let poor people starve to death if President Obama doesn’t give in to their demands.
In an appearance on Martin Bashir on MSNBC on Tuesday, Dolan said that the Church would abandon Jesus’ effort to help the sick and feed the poor in protest of the contraception mandate that only applies to insurance companies and not the Church itself.
“If these mandates kick in, we’re going to find ourselves faced with a terribly difficult decision as to whether or not we can continue to operate,” Dolan said. “As part of our religion — it’s part of our faith that we feed the hungry, that we educate the kids, that we take care of the sick. We’d have to give it up, because we’re unable to fit the description and the definition of a church given by — guess who — the federal government.”
Bashir then pointed out that the Catholic Church had taken a staggering $2.9 billion from the federal government to pay for the charitable efforts the Church provides. “They don’t seem to bristle at the hand of government when it comes to money, do they,” Bashir commented.

Always Question Authority 
Well that’s just just typical of the ‘Catholic Church’ and Religion in general I’d say.
On one of my visits around the world I asked a security guard while on a tour around Vatican City the following :-
“Excuse me but what’s that”?
Pointing to the large and immaculately appointed garden below he said, “That sir is His Holiness’s
own personal garden”.
My question was rhetorical however and he offered no comment on the electric golf cart, complete with clubs parked neatly in it!
So while the Pope and his ‘minions’ enjoy a life of privilege and splendour, millions of their own faith including children suffer extreme poverty around the World. They should be utterly ashamed of themselves, I think Jesus summed it up ‘on-the-cross’ when he said :-
“Life’s a piece of shit
when you look at it!”
Oh sorry, allegedly.
