That was badass. 'But “out of respect,” they go on to demolish Uthmeier’s points, citing the hierarchical nature of the Catholic church, the religion clauses of the First Amendment, state laws, and previous court rulings. In all, “It is beyond cavil that the bishops, not the state, decide how to interpret and apply Catholic principles and theology.”' Cavil is apparently a petty or unnecessary objection. That is the thing with catholics, they aren't all on the wrong side. Their members are like half and half more good than bad in the US. Even as the American Clergy skews hard right nazi. But not all. Hence Yiannopolis' campaign to pull more to support naziism. Because that worked so well last time! permalink fedilink source parent
