OK, the Catholic bishops are still pushing back on the ObamaCare mandate that church-affiliated organizations must “violate their consciences” and ante up for contraceptives.
Many pundits are counter-punching the bishops … arguing that they are woefully out-of-touch … that an overwhelming majority of Catholics support contraception. So, the bishops should get off their soap boxes and ditch the rule.
Interesting angle: subject religious doctrine re: right and wrong to a popular vote. If it doesn’t get a majority, chuck it.
Hmmm.
I think the idea has merit.
In fact, I say: why not hold a referendum on the 10 commandments?
Maybe #10 and #7 would fail to get enough votes and it would become legit for me to jack my neighbors big screen TV.
The idea has potential, right?
Think about it.
Which of the 10 would you like to see voted out?
10 Commandments
- You shall not have other gods.
- You shall not take the name of the Lord God in vain

- Honor your father and your mother
- You shall not kill

- You shall not steal
- You shall not bear false witness
- You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife
- You shall not covet your neighbor’s goods
