If I were a Martian reading this article I'd assume that it was all that catholic endeavor (with a bit of ecumenical help) that stopped this rotten healthcare proposal....

I'd miss the 6000 Indivisible groups nationwide  with hundreds of members in each one and all those phone calls and Congressional office visits (I just made 6 calls yesterday and my group has 570 members and it's one of 6 within a ten mile radius) AND I'd miss all those national players in the healthcare field like the AMA et al and there are at least 50 of them that have vocally opposed this proposal...I believe Kimmel identified them  by name for a number of evenings on national TV....recently....and I could go on and on.....the glorious efforts of the bishops notwithstanding....

Come on you guys....it's OK to identify Catholic response but put it in a global perspective....and it's peanuts by comparison with the larger national response.

The larger national response in my view is clearly the work of the Spirit!
