10. It looks like it will be worse tomorrow, Brigid.
(CNSNews.com) – The U.S. Catholic bishops have told the pastors of all the Catholic churches in America to insert a flyer in their church bulletin and read a statement at every Mass, informing their congregations that the health care bills now before Congress allow abortion-funding and must be opposed unless amended to specifically prohibit such funding.

. . . .

The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), headed by Cardinal Francis George of Chicago, sent the three-part directive to parishes on Oct. 29, the same day the House of Representatives unveiled its 1,990-page health care bill.

The directive has a bulletin insert, a color flyer, and a statement that priests are to read from the pulpit at every Mass either this weekend or in coming weeks as the House votes on its bill and the Senate moves to pass a final version of health care reform legislation.

. . . .

Priests are instructed to read a statement on the issue at every Mass on the weekend that the bulletin insert is distributed, and to follow-up with a statement one week later at all the Masses. The color flyer is headlined, “Health Care Reform Is About Saving Lives, Not Destroying Them,” and shows a pregnant woman and a doctor. The flyer also urges Catholics to contact Congress and provides contact information.

If they interrupt the Mass again tomorrow with this crap, I'm out of there the second they open their mouths.
