This is a crisis of the Establishment Clause...and the media is yet to cover it in any serious way. During the campaign (also known as Romney’s surrender) any time this issue was brought up...the meme was the GOP’s “war on women”...and of couse what it really was...is Obama’s war on Christians of conscience.
Let’s see if it gets coverage now...I’d be surprised.
The thing that they’re going to go after us on is “gay marriage.” I was very happy to see that a pastor just refused to confirm a young man who had posted his support for “gay marriage” on his FB page, because the pastor said that the teenager clearly did not either understand or accept the teachings of the Church and thus could not be confirmed. So that’s a good sign that there might be resistance.
But the liberal Catholics have been high-fiving each other since the reelection of Obama because they claim this means the bishops are powerless and were ignored. This may be true, but in many cases, their message didn’t get out there until too late, was ambiguous in some statements (”weigh up the candidates and see which one is more in favor of social justice [Marxism]”) and was often never transmitted or even opposed by an elderly leftist clergy.
We still have time, I think, to fight back, but the window is closing.
Nothing to worry about. When they lose their lawsuit, the bishops will discover that paying for abortions is merely “remote material cooperation.”
How do you eat an elephant .... one bite at a time. The Catholics better wise up very quickly before they find themselves the elephant being eaten one bite at a time!
