Conscience protections for the Bishops to not equal conscience protections for others who may not hold their views. 
        Their views seems to focus mostly on controlling the behavior of others in spite of the fact that the issues do not impact the health or welfare of the body politic, only the rigid views of a small number of right-wing Catholic fundamentalists. (Bishops take note-this means you.) 
       There is an interesting article on CNN online in regard to the bad example of Trump and the possible ethical meltdown our society may experience as a result. I hear nothing from these so-called Bishops about character, integrity, ethical conduct, human decency, et. al. 
       This is a moral outrage. 
       I hope there are many in the Catholic community who are aware and willing to take responsibility for their faith and their church. Silence in the face of injustice is not acceptable. The informed conscience is not a clone of right-wing political manipulations.
