There'll Be Hell To Pay
Timothy Cardinal Dolan ramped up the rhetoric in his battle with the White House over contraception policy yesterday — and promised some political payback. "Don't impose your teaching upon us and make us do as a church what we find unconscionable to do!" the freshly minted prince of the church told a roaring crowd of 1,000 at Holy Trinity Diocesan HS in Hicksville, LI, referring to a government plan to mandate that religious institutions provide free contraception to workers. "The Health and Human Services fight is a freedom-of-religion battle. It is not about contraception. It is not about women's health," Dolan said. "No, we are talking about an unwarranted, unprecedented, radical intrusion into the interior life of, integrity of a church's ability to teach, serve and sanctify on its own." In a blistering attack interlaced with humor, Dolan never mentioned President Obama by name — only his policies. And the cardinal promised to put the political muscle of 78 million American Catholics to work against the enemies of free religion.
