Many of the hospitals will shed their Catholic identity, the way Catholic Healthcare West became Dignity Health (so they could commit abortions without interference.) Others will defy the bishops, and some of the the bishops will wink wink their approval.
The colleges will go along with the forced faggotry in defiance of the bishops, and some of the the bishops will wink wink their approval.
Some dioceses will go along with the forced faggotry. Most of those will produce an avalanche of words to deceive the few Catholics who object to the faggotry. They will label those objectors as uncharitable and bigoted, the way they label those who object to their attempts to dissolve the border.
You may be right.
But I'm not sure withdrawal from the “public square” is the right approach, either. We have, over the past century, abandoned, one by one, all our institutions as the left has encroached upon them. As the left has made its long march through our institutions, we have given ground over and over, hoping that the left will leave us be in the space that is left to us.
My own view, not particularly well-formulated, is that we need to fight to take back the institutions that we created and tell the left to go back to Hell whence it came.
Thus, my view, regarding these issues, is to sue the Hell out of the federal government by questioning the very premise of the idea of government regulation of religious organizations. In western civilization, it was understood that Church preceded state ontologically, and the ultimate reason that the Church was tax-free was that the inferior cannot exert authority (in this case, the power to tax) over the superior.
We need to re-assert this argument, and make the case that the First Amendment is first and foremost, when it deals with religion, about the recognition that the Church ontologically comes before the state and the state has no power over it.
