Writings for the
Huffington Post, Sister Mary Ann Walsh, Media Director for the United
States Conference of Catholic Bishops, has questioned why Amish Anabaptists are
exempt from US President Obama's Healthcare Reform Directive and the
Catholics are not.
What is going on?
In an election year already proven
one of the most scandal-ridden and bloody ever, Sr. Mary is merely the latest conservative
Vatican paladin to complain about the church’s lack of status in American
society. She should try being Mennonite
or Amish.
Truthfully, like the
Anabaptists, the Roman Catholic Church has come a long way from the days of
being merely tolerated or even feared to
being recognized as a full-fledged pillar of American society. Just fifty years ago, people were alarmed at
the thought of a Catholic president. So
where has the new martyrs’ complex come from?
