The USCCB Response: Change or Not? | National Catholic Reporter

The USCCB Response: Change or Not? | National Catholic Reporter by MSW.  MGB: I suspect that those furthest out on the limb will meet their eternal reward with a decade, both within the laity and the Episcopal and Priestly ranks.  What is more important is who should be at the table at the first place.  If Catholic employers want to organize, they have every right to make comments and claim some right to not offer contraception - but I wish them luck being taken seriously.  The bigger problem is the bishops taking the lead on this.  Catholic Charities organizations, indeed most diocesan property, should be divested from the bishops and converted to non-profit corporations run by their management and donor base. The time for medievalism is over.  As for the Sisters in Catholic Health, they should be allowed to speak for themselves.  Indeed, a debate without the bishops might look very different as the employees of these organizations may just have something to say about their insurance coverage.
