Not a whole lot. However, public figures often comment on issues facing families in the state, and contraception is certainly a major issue. It's also a major cost for public health departments. If Keating had ever brought up the issue of whether the public should be paying for drugs, devices and procedures which are both morally wrong and medically harmful, I'm sure it would have caused a great FLUFF in the media.
He might also, easily, have mentioned the harm to marriage caused by contraception, and the benefits of NFP, in the context of his well-publicised efforts to promote marriage and reduce divorce in the state.
The fact that he did not, I consider suggestive, though of course not conclusive, as I stated above.
And while his beliefs have only a peripheral relevance to his job as governor, I consider them very relevant to his role on the sexual-abuse panel. The problem is the rejection of chastity. If Mr. Keating is involved in "prosecuting" certain violations of chastity, while supporting other unchaste behaviors, then he is not, as the article stated, a "devout and conscientious Catholic." He is simply a secular figure. If he's presented as such, fine; but during his years as governor, his Catholicism seemed awfully like window-dressing, frankly.
Well, he was your governor, and you have your perspective.
I always saw him as a stand-up guy, moral, and willing to take tough stances.
His resignation letter, BTW, states that he will NOT apologize for any of his rhetoric.
There will continue to be clashes between the bishops and the lay review board and anybody who's worth a damn will leave in disgust.
