That's exactly what it is. This silent take-over of all institutions has been going on for a long time, and it seems to have been pretty successful in the case of the Catholic Church. I keep hoping this is the last gasp of the horrible bishops who were imbued since their youth with the sort of "Liberation Theology lite" (the "lite" just means no guns and bombings) that was circulating in the Church in the 70s.
Hopefully this single case can be righted and we can move along the path to investigating and right other dimocrat takeovers of Catholic Charities.
