Joe Biden's War On Catholics Continues

 In April, Saint Francis Hospital South, which is one of five hospitals in the Saint Francis Health System network in eastern Oklahoma, received an ultimatum from the Biden administration: Extinguish your chapel’s sanctuary lamp, or we will strip you of your ability to accept Medicare, Medicaid, and the Children's Health Insurance.

For context, a sanctuary lamp is a “wax candle, generally in a red glass container, kept burning day and night wherever the Blessed Sacrament is reserved in Catholic churches or chapels,” according to the Modern Catholic Dictionary. “It is an emblem of Christ's abiding love and a reminder to the faithful to respond with loving adoration in return.”

Can you guess the b.s. reason for this ridiculous attack?

For starters, federal officials are still trying to exert their authority over the hospital, structuring the terms of the “waiver” in such a way as to force the Catholic hospital to concede the farcical “safety” violation is indeed a “safety” violation.

My suggestion is the word 'abortion' should be in this story. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/restoring-america/faith-freedom-self-reliance/biden-administration-targets-a-catholic-hospital-for-daring-to-question-its-authority

This is the sanctuary lamp in question. Does it scare you the way it does the hateful Democrats?


Does the 'Candle Scandal' seem silly to you? It shouldn't because there has been a war on Catholics since Biden and his Godless administration took over Do you think I'm making this up? Think again.

Since civil unrest began on May 28, 2020, there have been at least 316 attacks against Catholic churches in the United States, including acts of arson which damaged or destroyed historic churches; spray-painting and graffiti of satanic messages; rocks and bricks thrown through windows; statues destroyed (often with heads cut off); and illegal disruptions of Mass. A new spate of at least 153 attacks has occurred since the draft Supreme Court opinion proposing to reverse Roe v. Wade was leaked in early May 2022, with many including graffiti with pro-abortion messages. Crucially, while a handful of the attacks have included thefts, the vast majority have only involved property destruction, indicating that the primary motive is not material gain. https://catholicvote.org/tracker-church-attacks/

Of course, this couldn't happen to you even though you might not be Catholic but what if you belong to another denomination that goes against the grain Then who will speak out for you.
