Entry: Remember Dagger John! Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/remember_dagger_john#19474 Post contents: CC (if she's who I think she is) works for the NY Arch., so she gives us a useful insight into what might happen, and how much stomach the institution would have for a fight. It sounds like the hospitals would have to simply be sold or shuttered... the alternative, co-operating with the law, would entail (like any cooperation with abortion, by Canon Law) ipso facto excommunication for anyone directly involved. Which would, in this case, include hospital administrators, and arguably the Cardinal himself. However, if the law does apply to schools (as Cardinal Egan himself wrote) those could well be maintained in operation without licenses, forcing a confrontation and allowing for civil disobedience. If anyone has the stomach for it. I'm sure those civil rights bus boycotts offered their own share of obstacles. But they worked. The key is to maneuver your enemies into revealing themselves as what they are: aggressors. And to do it with maximum publicity. Sent at: 2009 01 08
