My Church

Catholics know how they want to treat their women.
Catholics feel their women are different than other women.
Catholics believe their institutional authority over wombs supersedes a woman's equal rights to
medical care in a free society.
Catholics know how Christ felt about the things he was not explicit about saying.
Catholics are saying they don't even want equal rights over behaviors their church has denied them to have.
Somehow they'd rather disobey their church by using birth control than declare they have a right to disobey their church by using birth control, if indeed 98% have used it as studies suggest.
If any of us have ever wondered what Catholic guilt is all about, we see it illustrated in neon lights now.
It is, if nothing else, duplicitous; an individual divided against self.
POTUS has stood up for the rights he must stand for, as people say they don't want the right.
Instead of going on the attack, why not as employers, request Catholic women not to involve
you in birth control purchases? Put a scarlet letter on any person who uses health insurance
from your 'Catholicness' to buy birth control. We have so many scarlet letters floating around these days. Get yourselves some of them. But don't blame POTUS for pushing equal protection under the law. As usual, he is 'just tryin' t help' Ike.
