The Catholic Church, feeling that its rights have been violated, is organizing mass lawsuits and calling for civil disobedience against the Obama administration:
“Some unjust laws impose such injustices on individuals and organizations that disobeying the laws may be justified,” the bishops state in a document developed to be inserted into church bulletins in Catholic parishes around the country in June.
And some organizations impose such injustices on individuals and groups that ignoring them may be justified. Given the Church’s refusal to recognize the basic human dignity of its homosexual members (and non-members) this newfound focus on injustice strikes me as opportunistic partisan crap, rather than actual principled disagreement, at least as far as church leadership is concerned.
Perhaps they’ll change their tune, and look towards the injustices within their own organization as well. And at that time I’ll be willing to take this a little more seriously.
But I’m not holding my breath.

I don’t know how one resigns from the Catholic Church, other than being excommunicated, but I think it would be wonderful of Catholic women would
organize and resign by the thousands.
I don’t know that there have been any cases of people “resigning”, but most polls I have seen show a non-negligible number of catholics, at least American catholics, are far more progressive than the church leadership on social issues. As well they should be, turn the other cheek, love thy neighbor, etc.
