text: Your response is intellectually dishonest and disingenuous.  Civil disobedience in and of itself for a righteous cause is an obligation of Christians as long as it is done in a responsible manner.  The civil disobedience advocated by Bishop McElroy has lead to violence, rioting and injury not only to the "disruptors", but also innocent bystanders.  Civil disobedience against causes which are "intrinsically evil", such as the March for Life against abortion, which is intrinsically evil, is an activity which all Catholics should encourage.   Issues which are based on "prudential judgement", such as illegal immigration, are not worthy of civil disobedience which should be sanctioned by the Catholic Church.  Furthermore, Bishop McElroy is encouraging people to participate in forms of civil disobedience which have a track record of violence, rioting, and injury of not only the disruptors, but also innocent bystanders.  Bishop McElroy is encouraging behavior which is contrary to Christ.
