It's On! Do you think the Catholics Will Bring Down the Obama Administration?
The Catholics are gearing up for a massive civil disobedience response to the HHS mandate that requires Catholic institutions to provide birth control, sterilization, and abortion inducing drugs.
It keeps getting called a "massive civil disobedience" and yet the only thing I have heard being organized are fasts, prayers, and extra masses, which simply sounds like self-inflicted punishment to me.
The only thing it seems like they could really do that would constitute civil disobedience is have institutions not follow the law and or shut down institutions. Yet, that puts them probably on the wrong side of the average Catholic and definitely on the wrong side of the law. It just doesn't seem like a good plan of action, and I suspect that all of the lawyers and accountants in the Catholic Church will agree. Is the Church really willing to trade gold for morality? Doubtful.
So, no, they won't do anything to the administration or the HHS mandate. Heck, they may not even make the news.
It seems that you are only familiar with the OWS way of massive civil disobedience. We shall certainly see how they go about it. I've got an inkling that Obama just crapped through his pants.
If you honestly think Obama would fret about this, then you have completely misjudged your opponent. Like him or not, he knows how to play the game and the more likely reaction is assigning a team of people to find a way to use this to his advantage.
