I read with amusement the concerns the Catholic bishop expressed over proposed health-care mandates requiring all employers to provide contraceptives and sterilization benefits in their insurance coverage. These mandates would include nonprofits as well as religious organizations. The bishop states such action would be against the church's teaching citing freedom of religion and freedom of conscience.
This same bishop had no problem suspending religious conscience when in 2008 he told his congregations that you can be pro-life and still vote for a pro-abortion president because "as Catholics, we are not single issue voters." This convoluted reasoning was in part responsible for a majority of Catholics voting for Obama. So if Catholics are truly upset with the Obama health-care mandates, they have no one to blame but themselves.
