"..I actually had a conversation with a co-worker this past week regarding what this administration is doing via the Affordable Care edict directed against Catholic institutions. It has amazed me how few people seem to think this abomination is of any general importance. She, a practicing Catholic herself, actually said to me, 'The Catholic church does have to lighten up on some issues, and maybe this will help them to do so.' The further we turn away from His word, by lazily and apathetically becoming numb to those who defile it, or by somehow attempting to serve as our own interpreter of it, and thereby declaring it changeable over time, the more we are declaring ourselves to be our own gods, capable of judging degrees of sin, determining which sins are important enough to deserve our consideration, or re-defining sin itself. .."

You may be interested in seeing what I posted today in regards to Charles Murray's brand new book entitled, "Coming Apart". It deals with what you mention above.

Wow. I wonder what they now think of Obama at Notre Dame. After all, they gave him an honorary degree. Shouldn't he be nicer to them?
