text: Regarding: "I am not sure why "Honoring conscience rights" was listed before concern for access to affordable care for the poor. "
  - This is a good article.
  - The USCCB's 'conscience rights' is its line in the sand -- "come close to this and we walk."
  - Sadly, the USCCB has yet to learn that exercising ones conscience is done in pursuing the works of mercy. Using it as 'talking point' or line in the sand dishounours conscience.
  - It is clear, that beginning with the presidency of ArchbFrancis, one time of Chicago, the USCCB sees itself as a interlocutor with power, and not as leaders of the local churches in the USA. That is, they will sell the poor for the sake of political gain.
  - The proof of Christians is in what we do, not in what we protect. Take care of the sick poor first and then chat about conscience.
