Obama's Macabre Dance Around Religious Liberty

Our dear friend Christine Flowers has a beautiful column in the Philadelphia Daily News correctly lambasting Obama & Co. for treading on religious liberty. Here's an excerpt:
Catholics are pretty much like other American citizens in our taste and our beliefs, thereby demonstrating that President Kennedy was right when he promised a doubtful public that you could be both a person of faith, as well as a patriot.
But that is exactly the point that Obama and his tone-deaf supporters have missed in this whole, horrible debate about forcing Catholics to subsidize birth control - or else. Despite what the administration's apologists have tried to argue, any rule that penalizes a religious organization for holding true to its fundamental principles does great and permanent violence to the First Amendment. . . . The administration is doing a macabre dance around what is quite clearly a constitutional Inquisition. In telling Catholics that our religion is not as important as a woman's "choice," we are learning that JFK was wrong.
