If the Bishops cave, the nation will be so demoralized I’m not sure we could recover. Seriously.

If Obama continued down the path of negotiating pseudo-compromises, the bishops’ effort would have dissipated in a fog of offers and counter-offers.
Obama blundered by digging in. Obama’s position is uncharacteristically clear, which allows the bishops the ability to contradict his position in broad daylight.
IOW, there’s a good chance that the bishops’ effort will have a political effect. I only expect it to turn about 2% of Democrat-voting Catholics, who are just cultural Catholics.
The real political benefit will be the galvinization of the Evangelical community.
