"Msgr. Pope disagrees with you."


Sorry. Still not buying. If we are going to listen to all the crap about separation of Church and state everytime some kid wants to have a Bible study in a broom closet, then the Feds don't suddenly get to appoint themselves Theological Arbiters when they have a mind to boss Catholics around. If the bishops are doing a crappy job, that's their problem. Nothing is helped by letting Caesar start meddling in such matters. The law works by precedent. Let this stand and the next thing you know, he will be approving the content of homilies and weeding out "homophobic hate speech" or declaring anti-abortion commentary to be unacceptable political speech.
