"Catholic hospitals have had a very rough time, that many have closed and that the current GOP proposals will put all Catholic hospitals in that boat. Conversely, Catholic health care in states that did expand Medicaid has done very well."

Yeah, except for that whole ACLU law suit thing. But we wouldn't want to appear morally superior, or anything.

I'm happy for more diversity in the Conference, but if "more diversity" simply means divying people up into teams (as is done here), & dismissing the other team for acting in bad faith, then I'm not sure that the spirit of Pope Francis has truly amounted to much more than score-keeping.
