Links for 07/15/15 | National Catholic Reporter by MSW. MGB: I am not a fan of countries going bankrupt, because they are sovereign - at least in theory. Of course, I am no fan of little countries or states behaving like countries - whether it is Puerto Rico, El Salvador or Connecticut or Rhode Island. Its why we create big federations if we are smart and have them bail out their members when they enter the federation - leaving a clean slate.
It is good that Archbishop Kupich is doing his job. Hopefully we can all realize its our job too, not just that of the bishop or cardinal.
I feel sorry that the Little Sisters of the Poor were drawn into this publicity stunt. There is little exposure for any birth control, let alone birth control working during generative development, with celibate nuns serving elderly people. If there are lay staff, the Sisters' first reflex should be (and probably is) to stay out their business and obey the law. Sadly, they have been convinced that generative development birth control is murder. It is not. Only regulative development birth control. I give no one a pass on repeating this error, even the little sisters. Of course, the issue is over because the question is moot after policy changes and accomodations. Beckett's case was juvenile. Hopefully the Beckett fund will get no fundraising boost from being wrong on this issue - so that they must dip into reserves. They had better not bill the Little Sisters.
