Partisan Or Catholic?

Partisan Or Catholic? by MSW.  MGB: First, I think Chaput is Latino, but he is certainly also hyper-partisan.  Second, either the USCCB is badly staffed or deliberately ignoring the fact that contraception has been required to be covered in all preventative medicine policies since December 2000.  Any analysis that steps over this fact is flawed, including MSW's.  Third, the problem with objections to Kennedy's speech are that they ignore its explicit attack on Christendom, the ability of prelates to use Church discipline to force Catholic politicians to vote or decide matters in their way.  Secretary Sebelius has every right to object to this, since she has been the victim of attempts to do just that, which should be regarded as seditious.  Whether or not she was personally in support of legal abortion or not, her veto of a clearly unconstitutional state law on the basis of that unconstitutionality cannot be challenged.  Catholic politicians cannot be urged to violate their constitutional oaths to preserve and protect the constitution of the United States via attempts at ecclesiastic discipline without that being seen as seditious.  The fact that the DC and Virginia bishops are asking her to continue to not receive Communion in respect for their seditious colleague is not a good sign.
