Does Obozo Want a War With the Catholics?

Terry Jeffrey points to a couple of issues which are explosive.

...the Roman Catholic bishops of the United States — and all faithful Catholics in this country — face a conflict with President Barack Obama and his administration that mirrors the conflict between Thomas More and Henry VIII.

The administration is seeking to coerce Catholics to act against their consciences on two fronts: on sterilization, contraceptives and abortion, and on the definition of marriage.

Although Jeffrey mentions Catholics specifically, there are other denominations which to one degree or another are in the same position as the Church.

Benedict XVI was not speaking only to the Bundestag last week:  he was addressing Congress and the President:  "Where positivist reason dominates the field to the exclusion of all else – and that is broadly the case in our public mindset – then the classical sources of knowledge for ethics and law are excluded. This is a dramatic situation which affects everyone, and on which a public debate is necessary. Indeed, an essential goal of this address is to issue an urgent invitation to launch one." 

The President would be well-advised to back off.  The Catholics will not.
