that I am truly a nominal Catholic. I’m not a churchgoer. This is basic Catholic teaching though; if I get it, surely the bishops can.

the current system. Yes it will help the poor, but it will kill off many of us in the process. Sometimes you have to wonder about the big-hats in the Catholic Church, God does not want you to help the poor at the expense of creating more dead and more poor.

Considering your points, I wonder at what point the USCCB will issue another flyer insert into the Sunday bulletin?

From their news release following the House vote (http://www.usccb.org/comm/archives/2009/09-232.shtml):

“We remain deeply concerned about the debate that now moves to the Senate, especially as it will affect the poor and vulnerable, and those at the beginning and end of life. We will continue to insist that health care reform legislation must protect conscience rights. We support measures to make health care more affordable for low-income people and the uninsured. We remain deeply concerned that immigrants be treated fairly and not lose the health care coverage that they now have. We will continue to raise our voices in public and in prayer; we ask our people to join us in making the moral case for genuine health care reform that protects the life, dignity, consciences and health of all.”
