Barack Hussein Obama repeats history and "goes British" with church duty takeover. From about the 1750s until the late1700s, the American colonies of Britain sought to escape Britain's tyranny of the Church of England. You see, the British king, who is STILL Supreme Governor of the Church of England took over with the 1534 Act of Supremacy, the text of which declares "the King's Majesty justly and rightfully is and ought to be the supreme head of the Church of England." In other words, the sovereign monarch was made "the only supreme head on earth of the Church" and he shall enjoy "all honors, dignities, pre-eminences, jurisdictions, privileges, authorities, immunities, profits and commodities to the said dignity," AND His Majesty "shall have full power and authority from time to time to visit, repress, redress, record, order, correct, restrain and amend all such errors, heresies, abuses, offenses, contempts and enormities, whatsoever they be."(1)
Even Reverend Al Sharpton dutifully explained Obama's takeover: "If we are going to have a separation of church and state, we're going to have a separation of church and state."(1)
Such it is with Obamacare.
It's not like the Roman Catholic Church has been in rebellion and striking down all sorts of federal and state law, as the Pope has that oversight in Italian law, reinstated in 2000 something, so that the pope could prevent universal health care forcing contraception and abortion in Italy, but he has no such political authority in the USA. (2) Quite the contrary, the Catholic Church in America has been pathetically accommodating of Beltway bigwigs' ravenous appetite for marital annulments such that the pope in the Vatican would disapprove.(1)
As for non-Catholic comments, Dr. Albert Mohler of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary wrote,"We will soon learn just how much faith is left in faith-based institutions." Kathleen Sebelius, Obama's vicar simulation on earth, has sportingly offered to maintain religious liberty for those institutions engaged in explicit religious instruction to a largely believing clientele. But the Church maintains hospitals 24/7 for all religious denominations, therefore Catholic institutions cannot comply with Commissar Sebelius and still be in any meaningful sense Catholic.
This "revolting development" should not surprise anyone who has delved into the massive over 2000 page debacle called Obamacare. Philip Klein brought it up in the American Spectator in 2010 that, the Obamacare bill contained 700 references to the Secretary "shall," another 200 to the Secretary "may," and 139 to the Secretary "determines." Thus the Secretary Kathleen Sebelius (affectionately known as Scabby) may and shall determine pretty much anything she wants, as the Obama-loving fools among the Catholic hierarchy are learning a bit late. His Majesty King Barack "shall have full power and authority to visit, repress, redress, record, order, correct, restrain and amend all such errors, heresies, abuses, offenses, contempts and enormities whatsoever they be." In my latest book, I cite my personal favorite among the epic sweep of Commissar Sebelius' jurisdictional authority:
Mark Steyn's personal favorite from his book, of Commissar Sebelius' jurisdictional authority:
"The Secretary shall develop oral healthcare components that shall include tooth-level surveillance."
This aforementioned quote is REAL...Mark Steyn did NOT make it up!(5)
