BISHOP CHAPUT AND HEALTH CARE

"...The bad law we now likely face, we owe in part to the efforts of the Catholic Health Association and similar “Catholic” organizations."
Archdiocese of Denver

This sentence comes from an article by Archbishop Chaput, a man that I respect. However, even he doesn't seem to understand what the real underlying problem of the health care bill is. The problem is in the understanding of our right to health care. It appears that Bishop Chaput has bought into the lie that the USCCB has been foisting on the Catholics in America. This lie is that our right to health care is something more than it really is.

Until the bishops stop pushing this Marxist vision of government down our throats we will never get the type of health care reforms needed. I take that back. Until everyone, bishops, politicians and the man on the street accepts the plain fact that health care is a good, just like property and that our real right to health care does not give us permission to take the rights of someone else away from them, we cannot have a resolution to this. If the bishops can find a way to make the argument that I have the right to someone else's property to exercise my right to health care, let them.

They won't because they can't and it is this very inability to make their argument logical or just that has made this bill so divisive. The people sense that health care, with or without abortion attached to it, is not a right in the same sense as say, speech or liberty. We know when we are being lied to.

So while I agree that this "bad law we now likely face" is partially the responsibility of rogue Cathoilc politicians and bogus health organizations it is more the fault of leadership inside the Church in America that have tried to sell the people a bill of goods to satisfy their own Progressive political desires.
