The Burke-Wuerl Difference | National Catholic Reporter

The Burke-Wuerl Difference | National Catholic Reporter by MSW.  MGB: Perhaps the hearts that needed to be changed were those of the Canons.  The NCR reditiorial on Dolan and gay marriage it very well.  Let us also not discount the influence of Archibishop Emeritus, Theodore Cardinal McCarrick - who headed up the commission that examined this issue.  On the Catholic politician side, it is sad that in an effort to not alienate Catholic voters, Catholic politicians do not make a stronger case on the difference between promoting abortion and refusing to use criminal penalties to discourage it - as well was explaining why overturning Roe and sending the matter to the states is a really bad idea (we tried such nonsense with slavery) and would possibly overturn much in the way of equal protection law - although considering that equal protection and privacy also legalized   consensual activity by gays and will eventually lead to gay marriage being nationalized - I can see why the culture warriors are not big fans.
