Last Thursday, Cardinal Donald Wuerl of Washington, D.C., and Archbishop William Lori of Baltimore appeared on EWTN’s The World Over to discuss the twelve lawsuits filed by Catholic organizations against the Obama administration over the contraception mandate. (I’ve embedded the video at the bottom of this post.) Throughout the interview, Wuerl and Lori sounded familiar notes — this is about religious liberty, not contraception; the mandate constitutes an unprecedented government intrusion into the life of the church; the definition of “religious employer” must go. But they sounded some false notes too.
