Obamacare against the Church, and vice versa

We have sought closely to follow the assault on Catholic institutions that is being conducted in the implementation of Obamacare. Today James Taranto adds to the story with an interview of Archbishop Timothy Dolan:

The president of the U.S. Conference of Bishops is careful to show due respect for the president of the United States. “I was deeply honored that he would call me and discuss these things with me,” says the newly elevated Cardinal Timothy Dolan, archbishop of New York. But when Archbishop Dolan tells me his account of their discussions of the ObamaCare birth-control mandate, Barack Obama sounds imperious and deceitful to me.

There is so much to learn from this story, so many portents in it of the brave new world fashioned by the Democrats for a formerly free citizenry. You will want to read the whole thing.
