Chicago's Cardinal Warns Of An ObamaCare Gulag

First Amendment: The ex-head of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops compares the administration take on freedom of worship to the Soviet Union's and says its contraceptive mandate will force church hospitals to close.

On the first Sunday of Lent, Chicago's Francis Cardinal George issued his version of the letter issued by the USCCB he recently led.

....Cardinal George essentially rejected the administration position that you can have freedom of conscience as long as you don't act on it and that Catholics can run hospitals believing what they want as long as they don't act on those beliefs.

Catholics operate more than 7,000 schools educating children of all faiths, backgrounds and economic conditions.

One in six patients in the U.S. is in a Catholic hospital.

Catholic charities provide needed services to the hungry, homeless and poor. Faith-based institutions are more efficient and more in touch with their communities.
