Regarding: "While the Catholic Church teaches that universal, affordable health care is a human right — a teaching cited by Dewane in his letter — the American bishops issued dire warnings that Obamacare would lead to an unprecedented expansion of taxpayer funding of abortion."
- Yes, the USCCB is walking away from the presidencies of  Archbishop Francis of Chicago (RIP) and of Archbishop Timothy of NYC.  As a result of USCCB leadership during these presidencies the GOP was able to position itself as the party to resist President Obama. That is, these two Archbishops aided and abetted the full throttle opposition to any and every ethical attempt to aid and assist the people of  the USA.
