I'm with y'all. The Bishops should and could be saying that the whole law is unacceptable because it violates subsidiarity, which is the indispensible element of Catholic Social Justice doctrine which upholds the personal liberty/private responsibility interest, protects the richness and diversity of civil society ("intermediate institutions" as contrasted to the State) and stands against tyranny.

But no. They act like they never heard of it.

Who catechizes these catechists?

Who catechizes these catechists?

Ideally, Thomas Sowell would! Even the ones who are theologically faithful and pastorally dedicated seem utterly clueless about basic economics (or political science).

They couldn't have completed all the academic requirements for ordination if they weren't of generally good intelligence, so one is left shaking one's head in despair, sighing, "What is WRONG with these people?!?"
