In addition, if Obama is re-elected, I expect that a lot of diocesan jobs that don’t directly deal with parish work will be dropped. Any hours of service needed will be covered on a contract basis or on a volunteer basis.

Many Catholic hospitals will probably be sold rather than closed, which makes more sense financially. However, expect food banks, soup kitchens, clinics, retreat centers, schools, colleges, bookstores and other Catholic institutions to close also. Anything run by a diocese will probably either change hands or go under.

I believe I read that Obama has already taken steps to reverse the conscious rules implemented by the Bush Admin. He says he will maintain the basic allowance to avoid abortions. Well see.

With the government forcing the choice between performing abortions or closing their doors, the answer for an ethical entity seems pretty darn clear. The liberal agenda leaves little room for anyone who disagrees with their mandates. Quite a chilling prospect.

I suspect that some Bishops may fuss and fume if FOCA becomes law….and eventually have to follow an order from the Holy Father to stop providing any and all OB/Gyn/birth care — It will eliminate some departments but not all care I hope.
