My comment on the website:

Your Eminence,

You are dealing with the trees. Consider the forest.

I ask that you consider the possibility that this entire problem is not the result of the president going back on his word concerning an exemption for the protection of conscience, but rather from granting to the government in the first place the overwhelming power to dictate to businesses, organizations, and to individual American citizens specific health insurance requirements.

I pray that this experience will prod the Catholic hierarchy to reconsider your long held assumption that statism is an effective tool for Christian charity. I hope that it is now evident to you that once you invite the monster into the room, you cannot expect it to behave.

In Christ,
Jeff

Spendid statement, Mr. Chandler. May it make straight passage from your keyboard to the minds of Cardinal Dolan and the often obtuse U.S. counsel of bishops.
