The foreign policy of Oh Blah Blah seems to be based on the idea that if we can just give enough money and sympathy to our enemies, particularly those who attacked us in 2001, they will decide that we are nice people and stop killing Americans. This is the logic behind nonsense like using American money to rebuild what Israel destroyed in its war in Gaza.
Unfortunately, the Catholic Church in America seems to believe the same sort of thing. If the bishops can flatter secondary liberals by endorsing their socialist vision as a "consistant life ethic" or a "seamless garment", they will stop doing the things the Church disapproves of. The most recent example of this is Notre Dame honoring Hawaii Forty-Four despite the fact that he is not only pro-choice, but has also declared war on the Catholic hospital system. Obama and his allies will not reconsider their policies simply because America's premier Catholic university did something nice for him.
