Skeptical Outrage

I always get skeptical when Catholic bishops PUBLICALLY POLITICIZE outrage over issues such as those surrounding the President’s announcement to insure that women OF EVERY RELIGIOUS PERSUASION have free access to contraception, PARTICULARLY since those SAME bishops showed NO PUBLIC outrage over the sexual molestation issue! I wish they would just leave politics to the politicians.

same Bishops have so little faith in their teaching
that they fear the sheep will take advantage of the
birth control they abhor.

The Catholic Church certainly has plenty of experience in how to force people to do their bidding. They must be getting pretty desperate to actually say the government will force Catholics to get abortions.

They want a Theocratic Idiocracy. Or maybe they just are one.
