Vincent Phillip Munoz at The Weekly Standard has written about the confrontation. Short and to the point. From the article:
To their credit, the bishops appear to understand
this and are now willing to lead the battle to preserve religious
liberty for all, Catholics and non-Catholics, church institutions and
private employers.
But it won’t be without confrontation. This
statement from the bishops sets up a dramatic showdown between the
leaders of the Catholic Church and the Obama administration, a
confrontation that may not be good for either side. It is hard to see
what middle ground exists, or even if it does.
The Constitution was designed to prevent such
fundamental clashes between church and state. Perhaps the best way out
of this thicket would be for the Supreme Court to step in and stop it
from happening. Striking down the contraception mandate would avert the
disastrous situation of the president sending bishops to jail for being
faithful witnesses to their religious convictions.
