This blog will be our Witness for the Faith. We see a need for good, traditional, Catholic fellowship. Witness will strive to be imbued with charity. Love of neighbor - and yes, love of enemy. We should be a "witness" for our Faith.
"The Apostles, with the help of the Holy Spirit, responded well: they summoned the group of disciples and spoke to them. And this is the first step: when there are difficulties, we need to look closely at them, and confront them and speak about them. But never hide them" Pope Francis

Reactions to HHS Mandate
The parallels to Henry VIII or even to the Donatist controversy are quite alarming. Some pundits are even pointing out that Obama is attempting a divide and conquer tactic with American Catholics which will result in an American Patriotic Catholic Association composed of traditores willing to toe the administrations's line.

Archbishop Dolan on EWTN spoke of the possibility civil disobedience is all legal avenues are exhausted.
A decent article by Steyn. He identifies the point: the modern post-war "democratic state actually pivots on fascist doctrine. We have to get it through our heads that the EU, the US, Canada, Australia et al. are fascist states. The TV, the newspapers, the schools may have replaced the billy-clubs, but Mussolini would not feel out of place when hearing politicians refer to the supremacy of the state in moral matters. Pius XI had to hit hard against the strutting popinjay to cause him to back down.
Cardinal-designate Dolan may well have to play Bishop Fisher in dueling with the neo-fascist Obama. let us hope that in this modern showdown, the bishop will trump the king.
