MGB:_The legal apects of this issue have been decided for decades. Any attempt to bring it up again is an attempt by the Reactionary Right, in both the Republican Party and the Catholic Church, to look busy for the masses, especially as they are about to start losing as the families of gay Catholics insist that the marriages of their children be blessed or publicly solemnized.
More likely, this is coming up because the Republicans have both the White House and the Congress and people (especially yours truly) are making noises about using this opportunity to come to some deal on when legal personhood begins during pregnancy. The GOP knows the 14th Amendment gives them the power to do so and suddenly Transgender Issues are at the forefront. This is no accident. If you are in the movement, you are being played by the people issuing this document. If you let this distraction stop real progress, the blood of the unborn is on you.
It is also a way to take their minds off of the troubles of Trump. I am not sure there will be enough culture war distractions for that to happen, especially after Mueller releases his report. Shame on anyone, including these four bishops, for giving cover to the Moron in Chief.
