1,000 Omaha Catholics rally against insurance rule

By Christopher Burbach

Waving flags and singing "God Bless America," a crowd of more than 1,000 people rallied Friday in downtown Omaha against the Obama administration's new federal mandate for health insurance coverage of contraceptives.

The hourlong event was organized and led by Roman Catholic groups and a Catholic radio station outside the Hruska Federal Courthouse.

Omaha Archbishop George J. Lucas, the first of several speakers, voiced U.S. bishops' opposition to the proposed U.S. Department of Health and Human Services rules, and to accommodations being devised for religious liberty interests.

Lucas framed the issue of the day — as did the leaders of the Omaha rally and similar events Friday in more than 100 U.S. cities — as a fight to protect religious freedom and conscience protections from federal government "overreach." The bishops have led opposition to the rule on contraception coverage since President Barack Obama announced it in January as part of preventive care required to be offered by insurance plans under the new health care law.

5. That is what I say too

View profile
as an ex-Catholic. ONE religion should not hold anyone elses, or none, hostage to their's. That is a THEOCRACY.

Umm, people are free to CHOOSE NOT TO WORK for a Catholic organization.

I think that Steve Dawes is a CHICKEN SHIT and afraid that his words will appear at www.electstevedawes.com

You're right about the Socialist being a CHICKEN SHIT.

I would have thought Socialist Steve would have been done there extolling the virtues of socialism, smiting those Catholics with his vast knowledge and rapier wit.

I guess he spent the day staring in awe of the marvel known as www.electstevedawes.com (http://www.electstevedawes.com)

I think as a candidate for public office Mr. Dawes should tell both the Catholics of his state and the good folks at DU what his position is on this matter.

On his campaign site, Socialist Steve claims, "My faith plays an important role in my life."

His intent is to imply that he shares the Christian faith of most Nebraskans, though he has spent a big part of the past few years making over thirty-one thousand comments on an internet forum where Christianity and Christians are derided and detested.

Did Socialist Steve experience an epiphany? Have the scales fallen from his eyes?

Noooo! He meant to say "My faith in AFSCME, the democrat party, and the DUmp plays an important role in my life."

His intent is to deceive the voters of Bellevue.

Socialist Steve is a liar.
