Catholics Caught Between Bishops, Obama’s Birth Control Mandate
posted on May 30, 2012Lisa Miller at The Washington Post sees the debate over Obama’s birth control mandate as a tug-of-war, one in which most American Catholics are caught in the middle. Miller points out that of the 194 dioceses in the U.S., only 12 joined the lawsuit filed against the birth control mandate. Many Catholic groups have remained silent during this debate, a role Miller sees as the “silent and frustrated mother” in a fight between “mommy and daddy.”
