Is de Souza kidding? The fifth floor of the USCCB is a great place to look. The whole Religious Freedom effort is really about religious power. The panel of Catholic Bishops and Priests who fell into Valerie Jarrett’s trap and testified about contraception mandates, thus spawning the temr War on Women. The opposition to the Affordable Care Act and the acts of retaliation against Catholic Health when they helped it get passed. Priests should not lie like that, from de Souza to the bishops. I did not know that the Civitas authors were so close to the Holy Father. Now I get the anger. It is mostly fear and it is justified. They should consider themselves warned.

Sadly, on abortion, the left talks about pluralism when it should be educating Roe about the 14th Amendment, why part IX of the decision makes sense and what can and can’t be done as a result and especially why pro-life Democrats are playing with the devil.
