"Counseling and support" are fine in-and-of-themselves, but occur only within the physical boundaries of the church property.

What is needed  is for the "counselors" and "supporters" -- namely the clerical personnel --- to personally go to the offices of the local, state, and federal lawmakers and "counsel" those who profess religious leanings, Catholics in particular.

As I remarked about the bishops on another thread --- it is time for the clerics to lead from the front. Hunkering down in the confines of the parish is not sufficient.
