Contempt for Catholics

Cardinal Timothy Dolan, the archbishop of New York, says the Catholic church finds itself opposed to ObamaCare. This isn't how Roman Catholic bishops wanted this to go. According to Fox News, Cardinal Dolan directed his remarks to President Obama, saying:

We want to be with you. We want to be strong, and if you keep doing this, we’re not going to be able to be one of your cheerleaders.

Catholic leaders want health care for every person in America, from the baby in the womb to the stranger in our midst. Obamacare doesn't cover unborn babies or illegal immigrants. Instead, it mandates oral contraceptives, which do nothing to prevent conception, but instead flush each fertilized embryo from the womb.

Our government has begun negotiating with Iran's ayatollahs. Wouldn't it be worth their time to spend a little more effort on the bishops?
