I don't blame him for being scared. Obama's statement was chilling: "How religious institutions define and consecrate marriage has always been up to those institutions." That's freedom to define the faith not freedom to live it in public. Did Catholic adoption agencies close because of the Church's definition of marriage or because they were forced to accept the government's definition? I didn't see anything in his statement that bodes well for religious freedom.

Good Point. I didn't see anything in Obama's statement that said he was going to try to impose anything on the church's. But you just pointed out that they already have.

Of course, there’s also the fact that every evil thing Obama’s done, he’s started off by swearing he wasn’t going to do.
