Uh-oh. Some folks aren’t going to like this one. They’re going to say that the U.S. bishops are turning a deaf ear to the pleas of Pope Francis to be more pastoral. They’ll probably say that the USCCB escalated the use of harsh language and attacked the Obama administration’s HHS Mandate on ideological grounds.
How long will it be until some in Catholic media attempt to put some distance between Pope Francis and the U.S. bishops?
