With Scalia’s demise, Catholic institutions will be exposed to assaults on multiple fronts. The Little Sisters of the poor will be a 4 to 4 vote, remanding the case down the last highest circuit’s ruling which was against the Order. A BHO appointment will make it 5-4. That result, coupled with the article below, make it likely that Catholic institutions will have to either acquiesce to government mandates regarding abortion, marriage etc. or face daily fines that will put them out of business. I suspect many Catholic institutions, such as Georgetown, Holy Cross etc. will give in, may be even embrace the government mandates. This will leave you and I with a choice to either accept compromised Catholic schools or find another alternative. Frankly, I would send my daughters to private secular schools before I would send her to a compromised Catholic school. The compromised schools will do more harm in the long run because they offer the veneer of Respect/Godliness without the integrity. The teaching will come across as if it’s from the Church but it’s not. We will have a Church like they have in China. One that is de facto and one that is de jure.
I am in agreement. I will not pay for faux Catholicism.
