President Obama’s recent mandate proposal that employer funded insurance companies give women free access to contraceptives has outraged many religious organizations, primarily Catholics. However, these days it’s hard to see how the Catholic Church has the clout to condemn anything.
It would seem a woman’s right to choose disgusts the archdiocese more than a grown man having sexual intercourse with children.
