I absolutely expected this. Our NC Bishops are putting on a brave face, but unless they’re blithering nitwits (which they don’t seem to be), they must be expecting lawsuits attempting to force “gay weddings” in Catholic Churches any day now.
The Catholic Church (and other churches as well) dug it’s own hole on this by getting into bed with Progressives on various issues over the last couple decades.
It should have started excommunicating people like Pelosi, the Kennedys, etc a long time ago.
