Catholics need to start proposing Christ and the possibility of a new humanity that is born out of the encounter with him. Some fights may be necessary, like protecting the freedom of Catholic works like hospitals, but history has shown that we will always be on the losing side of a war over "values." As Obama himself said, "Don't bring a knife to a gunfight." The bishops need to focus on educating their flocks, or else when and if they stand up, there may be no one behind them.
