Oremus pro Antistite nostro Alexandro. Stet et pascat in fortitudine tua, Domine, in sublimitate nominis tui. (Let us pray for our Bishop Alexander. May he stand firm and shepherd his flock by Your strength, O Lord, in the majesty of Your name.)

The HHS compromise will not wash
As this amusing poster illustrates.
The Church's institutions will still pay for insurance that covers the immoral practices of contraception, sterilization and abortion-inducing drugs.
Is it not equally dictatorial of the Government to demand that insurance companies provide these services free of charge? No insurance company provides anything "free". It has to be paid for.
And what about the ordinary Catholic or other employer with conscientious objections to buying insurance for his/her employees that cover these services? How is his/her religious liberty respected?
It will be interesting to learn the bishops' considered view on this "compromise".
