The Vatican is worried about Americans living the American way... ...the pope is especially concerned that if such a policy is implemented, and if Americans continue to not give a damn about what the Church has to say on such "intrinsically evil practices" as contraception—as the vast majority of American Catholics don't—this will "delegitimize the Church's participation in public debate."I hope he's right, because the Catholic church, as a church, should have no legitimacy in public debate

...for the good guys. The 9th Circuit panel speaks... "Although the Constitution permits communities to enact most laws they believe to be desirable, it requires that there be at least a legitimate reason for the passage of a law that treats different classes of people differently.
