POPE BENEDICT XVI: ….“Therefore, one great responsibility the Church has is to educate people to moral responsibility and to unmask evil, to unmask the idolatry of money which enslaves man. … We must remember that men and women need the infinite. If there is no God, they replace Him by creating their own heavens, a seeming infinity which is really only a lie. This is why it is so important for God to be present and accessible….. — http://visnews-en.blogspot.com/2012/03/church-is-not-political-party-but-moral.html

And We Thought He Was a Hero….

Rep. Bart Stupak (D-MI), after all his efforts to remove abortion coverage from the health care bill, admits he would vote for the bill even if abortion remained in it. Once he has a chance to “vote my conscience” trying to remove abortion funding by an amendment, he’ll still support the bill.

What happened to the conscience that led Rep. Stupak to offer the amendment in the first place?

Doesn’t that same conscience get in the way of voting for a health care bill with the very thing — abortion funding — he found morally objectionable in the first place?

Sounds to me like Speaker Pelosi got to him — who knows what she threatened. If not Pelosi, someone did something.
