Thirteen Catholic Senators Vote Against Religious Liberty

I'm not big on lists, but we need to know who the CINO's are in order to not be led astray as to what the church teaches.

The Blunt amendment is an effort to preserve our right as Catholics to NOT provide contraception or abortion. On this list, opposed = CINO.

 Although the Catholic Church and leading pro-life Catholic groups strongly supported the amendment and one Cardinal warned how the Obama HHS mandate might have devastating effects for Catholic health care — possibly shutting down hospitals — Catholic senators didn’t appear to get the message. Thirteen of them voted against the amendment.

“By consenting to the disastrous HHS mandate, the U.S. Senate has taken the unprecedented step to deny our religious liberties instead of defending the Constitution,” said Matt Smith, president of Catholic Advocate. “It is disappointing to witness a group of senators misled on this issue at the expense of one of our key founding principles.”
