The Catholic Diaspora and the Tragedy of Liberal Catholicism

The Pope needs to weigh in on this issue - specifically, who is a papally-acknowledged Catholic, and who isn't (no matter what they call themselves).

"As my friends Edward Whelan and David Rivkin pointed out in the Wall Street Journal on February 15, there is every reason to think that the administration’s mandate, even as tweaked by the false-flag “accommodation,” will fail two legal tests: the test of the First Amendment’s protection of the free exercise of religion (recently upheld in a robust way by the Supreme Court in a 9-0 decision against the Obama administration), and the test of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act. As this battle unfolds, there is every reason for the bishops and those gathered around them to be confident of success."

I don't believe Obama cares if it survives a legal challenge. He only wants to muddy the waters effectively enough to get himself re-elected in November.
