Many accept grants and aid, some do not. Several dioceses no longer accept any state or federal monies of any kind, while certainly others still take funding to help the hospital, school, etc.It's one of the reasons Notre Dame sued the current administration as has Catholic charities. Basically the gov't is saying if you accept money of any kind, you must provide all these services or lose the money....your religious views don't mean a damn...money trumps all. I get why the gov't attaches the strings, but I also feel the gov't has no trouble squashing religious rights over other rights....religious rights become secondary.
Wrong. All catholic hospitals accept gov't dollars.
Ah yes, pity the poor, downtrodden American Christian. If it isn't the "War on Christmas," it is "reverse discrimination" or some other scourge that lets them set a mere 98% of the national agenda.
If I don't have the ability to pick and choose where my tax money goes, why should they have the ability to pick and choose where they get to spend it?
So what you are telling us is a Catholic ( a Marquette grad spelling Catholic with a lower case c tells me a lot about you.) hospital gives up its principles to accept Medicare and Medicaid. These are funds that allow it to continue operating and continuing to serve a population that is underserved already. Or maybe they should just move to the suburbs?
98%....which orifice did that come from?
I can only imagine Brandx was responding to me. smh Apparently he doesn't realize the number of hospitals and doctors who no longer Accept Medicare. The majority still do, but not all.Also, should the 1973 Church Amendment should be ignored?
This thread should turn to fishing. It's the only way it can be saved. I'll start. My favorite fish to eat is bluegill/sunfish. You have to catch a lot of them to make a decent meal, but man, I love the taste.
Yes.
Another 1% martyr.
I've always been partial to perch or walleye…perch because they are thinner and when fried are delicious.
Your victimhood is so pathetic.
Grateful people (1%ers -99%ers) are happy people. Resentful braggarts in the 1% or "you owe me!" people in the 99th%? - not so much.
Warriors, no one denies this, but at least admit the double standard.Also, are you suggesting there were a lot of other athletes like Tebow? If that is the case, seems a little odd that so much would be made of him since there are so many like him. In my view, he was a unique situation, just as Sam is.My two cents, but I don't buy for a second that there are plenty in the media and elsewhere that will shut you down immediately when religious overtones come into play vs other commentary.
