Decided to put this into News/Activism because it involves the exercise of religious freedom and has an impact beyond the creedal or denominational.
Bishop Tom Tobin (the "good" Tobin) is evidently supporting his priest on this.
It might be a good idea to give Tobin some backup on twitter --- maybe he could develop enough testicular fortitude to make it policy for his whole diocese--- which he should have done as soon as he was consecrated, but better late than never. Here:

Works for me. A whole lot of pint sized souls showing up on God’s doorstep. I’m guessing He’s not very happy about it.

Without a President Trump this would not have happened.
He is sharing his backbone with anyone who cares to stand up for righteousness.
Yes, this should have happened 50 years ago, but it IS happening now and that’s reason enough to rejoice and move forward.

“Both Father Bucci and Bishop Tobin need to be reminded that the U.S. Constitution requires the separation of church and state,” said McEntee, who represents Narragansett and South Kingstown. Sooner than say a stupid thing like that, she ought to have had the words "I am an idiot," tattooed on her forehead.

**The fliers also said legislators wouldn’t be allowed to act as witnesses to marriage, godparents or lectors at any church functions. **

The priest Richard Bucci and Bishop Tobin are standing up for babies in the womb. And are calling out the hypocritical behavior of people who call themselves Christians but who don’t believe in God’s Word. Good for both of them. I pray other Christian and Catholic leaders will do the same.
And God bless our president and Vice President for standing up for the unborn babies as well. Praise to our God.
To: Mrs. Don-o
This sick murder has the nerve to talk about separation of church and state? She doesn’t even understand the concept. This should happen everywhere.
