B-Man Posted May 4, 2023 Posted May 4, 2023 The Government knows best. The federal government seeks to snuff out the light of a Catholic hospital An Oklahoma Catholic hospital has been advised by the federal government they must blow out a candle in their chapel sanctuary or else HHS will revoke their approval to care for Medicare, Medicaid, and CHIP patients. Becket Law a non-profit, non-partisan, law firm is fighting back. You can click the tweet below and read the entire thread on the candle, why it is important to the catholic faith, why the hospital keeps it lit, and how Becket Law plans to fight. This editor was not the only person appalled to learn of this egregious act of aggression towards the hospital. Saint Francis Health System runs the premiere hospital in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where it cares for nearly 400,000 patients each year and employs more than 11,000 Oklahomans. Maybe if there were a rainbow on it it would allowed. And where is our "Catholic" president ? https://twitchy.com/artistangie-313138/2023/05/04/the-federal-government-seeks-to-snuff-out-the-light-of-a-catholic-hospital/ 1

Should a Catholic hospital be forced to snuff out its Eucharistic candle in order to provide care to the elderly, poor, and infirm? That is precisely the position taken by the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), on multiple occasions, with St. Francis Hospital and Health System in Oklahoma. In order to continue to get reimbursements for care provided under CMS programs, the Catholic hospital will have to violate Catholic canons by getting rid of its Eucharistic candle, or removing its tabernacle and stop conducting Mass on site: This hospital has been in business for six decades with its Catholic chapel and tabernacle. Has there ever been an incident that would cause CMS to think this is a fire hazard? The candle is encased in glass — twice over — and topped with a brass cap, firmly affixed to the wall of the chapel. (The picture above is the actual candle in question, from the response by Becket Law to CMS, to which we’ll return momentarily.) Does this look like a fire hazard to anyone — even without the knowledge that it has existed without incident at St. Francis Hospital for 60 years, or that every Catholic church and chapel have had the same candle burning 364 days a year, for about two thousand years? The candle is a crucial form of worship in the most literal sense, too. It signifies the real presence of Christ in the transubstantiated host in the nearby tabernacle, a firm Catholic belief. It honors and worships the Lord through its continued burning. Only when the tabernacle is empty does the candle go out, and that is only during the Easter Passion prior to the Easter Vigil, when the Eucharist returns to the tabernacle. It doesn’t matter that some petty bureaucrat — in this case, Scott J. Cooper of CMS — doesn’t like candles in hospitals. It doesn’t matter if others think that a battery-operated fake candle is sufficient. What matters is what Catholics believe and what their faith requires for worship and proper expression of their religious beliefs. To demand that the hospital remove its sanctuary candle is to demand that the hospital either (a) reject the doctrine of Real Presence, or (b) force an end to Catholic worship in a hospital. Either way, it is at the least interfering with freedom of religious expression, and at worst requiring a Catholic hospital to put the government before God in order to serve its community. Furthermore, why is CMS even making these determinations? Fire safety in buildings are the responsibility of local fire marshals, whom I can assure you from personal experience are not cream puffs. My favorite joke from my burg-fire alarm career attests to this: Q: What’s the difference between God and a fire marshal? A: God doesn’t think he’s a fire marshal.
