Looking To The Bishops

Many people have been waiting for some type of response from the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops.  That response came out earlier today. 

In spite of the efforts of many "Catholic" bloggers, radio show hosts and television hosts to give another impression, the USCCB has recognized the need to reform health care in our country.  Cardinal George could make that point any more clear.  Yes, the USCCB has significant concerns about the health care reform law and urges vigiliance to ensure that promises made to pro-life legislators to garner their support are honored during implementation of the law.  The USCCB neither supports the new law nor supports an overhaul or repeal of the legislation.  The bishops feel that the deficiencies in the current health care reform law can be addressed by additional legislation.
