Yet "church leaders" - embodied in Cardinal Dolan - seem posturing to "make a deal."

He’s very publicly – and seemingly with the sympathy of the media, which is rarely if ever sympathetic to hard truths – saying quotable, churchy things: “This administration is insinuating itself into the very life of the Church”; he’s threatening to sue "all the way to the Supreme Court" but by doing so he’s putting the whole matter to the court of public opinion and seems to be setting the stage for a “compromise” which can only make both he and obama look like heroes.

He's talking terms of earthly power. A guaranteed loser for the Church. He's Obama's pope.

“Yet “church leaders” - embodied in Cardinal Dolan - seem posturing to “make a deal.”...........

This is absolutely false!! Cardinal Dolan and the bishops have repeatedly stated in certain terms that any coercion on the part of the federal government to force people of conscience to act against their beliefs is contrary to the the First Amendment and the entire law should be declared as such by the SCOTUS. In particular since Obama’s faux compromise, the bishops have become more specific about the need to not trust the government, and to oppose any HHS mandate to the point of imprisonment if necessary;

Knock it off, all you Anti-Dolan bloggers. He's leading the cause for all Americans who love liberty and our Bill of Rights.
