Links for 07/03/15 | National Catholic Reporter

Links for 07/03/15 | National Catholic Reporter by MSW. MGB: Fr. Barron should not be surprised by this decision, which has been inevitable since Catholic Hospitals began denying spousal privileges to gay patients, instead deferring to estranged families.  I suspect that now those same families will be demanding gay weddings.



Dr. Rowlands provides an interesting biblical treatment on immigration, although some background on the proposal the UK is opting out of would help to provide context.



No law is legally insiginficant.  In DC, during the Control period, Financial Authority refused to dispense money to hospitals for performing abortions under the Medical Charities fund.  This is a universal practice and was never understood to violate the Hyde Amendment, since federal money was not used.  Everyone thought Hyde was not applicable until the Authority acted.  The DC A.G. is not correct.  The issue, by the way, is not as much abortion as Congress acting in matters where none of their constituents are concerned (and no federal money is used).  Take on paying 100% of DC Medicaid, and we will talk about what it buys.
