Pope Exhorts Catholic Geeks to Rescue ACA
Robert S. Becker
11 December 2013
Slaps Down U. S. Bishops Social Wedge Outrage
<snip>
Not only is America the health-care dinosaur of advanced nations, the Pope must negotiate this internal quandary: how to correct (read: slap down) the policy of regressive U.S. Bishops battling even marginal Obamacare? Spewing forth litigation and threats to shutter Catholic health institutions, even go to jail, Catholic clerics full of family values imagine ACA as total horror show, shredding their religious freedom, promoting birth control and abortions galore, despite official exemptions to the contrary.
Romanism to the Rescue?
And so imagine their surprise when the Pope began to exhort Catholic wiz kids to come to Obamas aid, gratis, and propel the ACA from the starting gate. Why shouldnt the best and brightest young Catholics improve life-saving online accessibility while warning the bishops to back off from rightwing obstructionism. Unconfirmed rumors even abound this reform Pope is mulling over this game-changer: whether the doctrine over which he rules infallibly approves informational, church-run health exchanges, especially when regressive governors punish the poor. Talk about a breakthrough.
