"...the shining object that undermines the cause."  

This was a very good way to talk about the huge mistake the bishops have made in championing the ridiculous notion that it is some terrible religious burden for the Little Sisters to fill out a form telling the government they object to including contraceptives in health insurance.  

We simply cannot allow employers to control employees, limit their ability to act as adults, agents looking out for their own good.  The Hobby Lobby decision is a terrible mistake - making the monied elite the controllers of employees decision making in their personal life.  When we accept this kind of law we are endowing employers with the old rights of kings and princes and treating modern day employees as serfs.  We are further empowering the idea that all that matters is money.
