Catholics And Hobby Lobby

The defense of religious freedom by the Catholic hierarchy is not exactly a universal view among the people the hierarchy are alleged to represent, according to the latest Kaiser poll. Catholics are split down the middle on it – 49 – 47 percent. Black and Hispanic Protestants are opposed to the ruling. It looks, in fact, as if it really has little to do with religious liberty and might just be yet another issue where partisan polarization explains it as well as anything else. And look again at the generation gap. One gets the feeling that the current court is desperately trying to shift things firmly to the right before time takes its inevitable revenge.
