They continue to ignore that order. There is nothing "Catholic" about them.

There is something quite "Catholic" about the National Catholic Reporter.
The Catholic hierarchy is for example, a principal enabler of Obama's illegal immigration schemes, as demonstrated by their support, tacit and otherwise, for the Children-Dump on the southern border.
The Catholic hierarchy refuses to publicly chastise loud abortion supporters like Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, Andrew Cuomo, Teddy K, etc.
Here in Maine it is Catholic Charities who colluded with a Left-Wing Governor to bring in many thousands of lawless polygamous Somali Muslims. As soon as the young men among them are fed and cleansed of parasites, they return to jihad in the ME with American passports.

A majority of Catholics apparently voted for Obama. Perhaps these Catholic voters are stuck in some sort of Dennis Day Time Warp when it was possible to be both a patriot and a Democrat. Bottom line, the Left has a pretty damn good lock on the American Catholic Church. IMNVHO, the hierarchy is abusing its authority by politically supporting the Democrats in general and this foul administration in particular.

None of what you post supports your opening sentence. The newspaper does not speak for the church, does not speak for the hierarchy, and does not speak for any Catholics except those on its editorial staff -- if there are any. That's simply a fact.

BTW, the claim that "Catholics supported Obama" is true only if you include non-churchgoers and Hispanics. Exclude either group and Catholics rejected Obama twice. Exclude both groups, and the margin is substantial. I'm not sure why the church should catch any blame at all for how non-churchgoing "Catholics" vote; if they don't obey the church when she tells them to attend Mass weekly, they're hardly going to obey the church when they go into the voting booth.
