Other than this issue the bishops are for Obamacare.
Actually, the bishops are for affordable health care for all. It's not just bishops who are this naive. I find a lot of people in high-level positions -- business executives, lawyers, etc. -- tend (apparently) to use all their time and mental energy in their work and often just swallow whole the MSM take on things and consider themselves informed. Individuals, of course, may explore government, political philosophy, etc. as a personal interest in what spare time they have, but others don't.
(This probably applies to the general public, too -- but nobody goes after them for quotes.)
If journalists did their job (or even admitted openly that they are advocates rather than honest reporters), maybe there'd be a broader understanding.
After all, the conservative view seldom makes it into the MSM coverage, and when it does, it's distorted.

Yes.
This is the very heart of the matter.
Thank you for the clarity.
They are just socialists that happen to object to abortion and birth control because of some quaint church tradition.
I’m not sure how many of them even genuinely object to the concepts.
And if the Catholic Church gets an exemption, why can’t anyone else who objects to 0bamaoCare on “free exercise” grounds?
Free exercise is recognized by the Constitution for individuals, not just for well-endowed organizations.
