Links for 04/08/15 | National Catholic Reporter by MSW. MGB: Bowman's piece is funny sad, but I bet the contributors to CatholicVote.org liked it - as well as certain conservative bishops who would love to say these things but have the discretion not to - except Burke of course.
Archbishop Kupich's article is interesting, but since he is just into his see, I suspect this was prepared for him - although it looks like he approve the result. Still, it is a bit soon to cut off answers. I need to check if the Cardinal has an open portal for this. I also hope they take free form answers, as all truth does not fit into their categories.
Robbie George is looking like an idiot. It was the mob who thought their religious rights were hurt by having to make cakes and arrange flowers for gay people (yes, it is as silly as sit sounds). This is just the response by people of conscience. He should get used to it. I hope such responses continue - although letting one slide through and hitting it with a Civil Rights Act enforcement action might be as equally satisfying. Of course, some would ask, if the baker and florist need to get a grip, why not the Church? I know the CRA is not in play, but they can still get a grip without losing a lawsuit - and now that the movement has congealed, the Church and Robbie George may have some right to be afraid.
