Over at Catholic Vote, Thomas Peters has been compiling
an indispensable list of all the US bishops who have released statements in opposition to
the Department of Health and Human Services’ contraception mandate. This
afternoon
he announced that every bishop who heads an American diocese has
released a statement condemning the Obama administration’s move (he also has
links to all of the bishops’ statements). Interestingly, the newly-installed head
of the Personal Ordinariate of the Chair of St. Peter, Msgr. Jeffrey Steenson,
has also released a statement opposing the mandate.
Peters also has a running list of Catholic institutions
and religious communities that have released similar statements (30, at this
point), and another of non-Catholic institutions that have done so.
