Am I alone in my suspicion that the Obama Administration likes these "sisters"
more than these sisters:
Because, of course, this work:
is so much more beneficial to society
than this work:
Nah. What could give me that idea?
It might be that the Administration has issued at least 729 waivers to Obamacare mandates to unions, municipalities and corporations but is fighting the Little Sisters and over 300 other plaintiffs all the way to the Supreme Court to enforce the mandate that they violate their religious believes and allow free birth control and abortifacients to be provided through their health insurance plans.
If it wins, the Administration will have the power to fine the Little Sisters out of their ministry to the indigent elderly people. Like it already has forced Catholic Charities out of providing adoption services.
Meanwhile, back at the DOJ: "Attorney General Eric Holder announced that the federal government will recognize so-called “marriages” performed in Utah between persons of the same sex that even Utah itself does not recognize as marriage."
While "IRS/White House Collusion in the War on Religion"
And the list of people with faith being subject to compulsion to act contrary to the tenets of their faith continues to grow: "The Huguenins, who run Elane Photography, have no right to choose not to take on a same-sex wedding, according to the court.... A florist in Washington has been sued for declining to create floral arrangements for a same-sex wedding ceremony. A family-operated inn in Vermont was sued for supposedly declining to host a same-sex wedding reception on its premises. Cake makers in Oregon and Colorado have been sued for declining to create cakes for same-sex wedding ceremonies. A promotional printer in Kentucky has been sued for declining to print shirts for a local gay-pride festival."
They each face a variety of civil damages, fines and potential jail sentences. In each case, they face closing their businesses - and losing their livelihoods if they refuse to participate in events that they consider morally wrong.
Perhaps this is the sort of progress Obama had in mind in his Presidential Proclamation for LGBT Month, "This year, we celebrate LGBT Pride Month at a moment of great hope and progress, recognizing that more needs to be done."
I shudder to think what more he hopes for on this front, which the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence and the Obama Administration seem to consider a sacred rite.
