USCCB Weighs In on SCOTUS Decision
USCCB Weighs In on SCOTUS Decision by MSW. MGB: The USCCB made a strategic blunder, probably staff driven, to not work more closely with both sides on the law - and more specifically to be identified mostly with the opponents who attempted to use life issues to prevent passage for purely partisan reasons. It is a blunder because to the extent there are problems, they will find it more difficult to recruit people to help them fix them. Luckily, Obama does not hold a grudge, although early on some of the bishops sure did against the Sisters who supported the President. If they really want to build bridges, they need to call of the LCWR exercise in heretic hunting (and urge those who started it into retirement a bit early).
