So much heat, so little light over D.C. Catholic standoff

Still researching our own assessment, we find ourselves in agreement with tmatt at GetReligion:

Read the top of this A1 Washington Post report about the collision between the Catholic Archdiocese of Washington and government officials here in the District of Columbia. Now ask this question: Is the heart of this story (a) civil rights for a new protected class of gays and lesbians, (b) religious liberty in America or (c) both?

The answer, of course, is “both.”

And more, with unanswered questions galore, even for those of us who have been following the story.
