Thomas Roberts set aside four full segments on his MSNBC Live program on Monday and Tuesday to a panel of six Catholics who dissent from the Church's teachings on sexuality and abortion. Roberts hyped his guests as "Catholics like me who have been deeply wounded in life by the Church." He noted how a divorced woman stayed with the Church and asked, "Do you feel as if you're almost on a cyclical relationship with someone that is almost abusive to you, but that you still go back seeking acceptance?"
Catholics for Choice

On Monday, the Washington Post's Express tabloid ran a blatantly anti-Catholic ad on its front page. The full-page advertisement from the far-left "Catholics For Choice" group spoofed the famous World War I-era "I Want You" military recruiting poster, and evoked the worst of 19th century Know-Nothingism. Instead of Uncle Sam, a caricature of a Catholic bishop with a miter on his head points at the viewer, and asks, "We Want You To Help Us Discriminate."

The wailing, rending of garments and gnashing of teeth on the left over the Hobby Lobby decision has been a breathtaking spectacle – not least because it is based on (at least) two falsehoods. First, that citizens have a sacred right to free deliveries from the Federal Contraceptive Fairy, and that any return to 2009 PS (pre-Sebelius) is an insult to democracy. Second, that the liberal hue and cry is a high-minded stand against theocracy, rather than the screeching of infantilized constituents suddenly denied their government candy.
Case in point: A new video from a pro-abortion “religious” group featured July 1 on thelefty video site Upworthy used a handful of anecdotes to explain ominously that religious people were discriminating against non-religious folk and taking away their God Obama-given rights. The “Coalition for Liberty & Justice,” which made the video, is a pro-choice marriage made in Heaven between the oxymoronic “Catholics for Choice” and the “National Council of Jewish Women.”

The Washington Post’s fact checkers must be too busy chasing down emotionally scarred seventh grade classmates of Mitt Romney to look at ads the company accepts.
The Washington Express, a free daily publication of The Washington Post, put a four page ad on its cover by Catholic dissident group Catholics for Choice, which took remarks about Pope’s stance on condoms completely out of context and claimed that “abstinence has a high failure rate.”
