Symptom of Larger Crisis

The Health and Human Services [HSS] ruling, which has caused such havoc in the U.S., is a symptom. With the ruling, noted Boston College Law School Dean, Vincent Rougeau:

the United States has boxed itself in and is now in a very uncomfortable position, not because of the interpretation of the HHS rule, which the courts or policy-makers will no doubt work out after the election, but because of the deeper cultural and political dysfunction this controversy exposes.

Dean Rougeau contributed this to yesterday’s ThinkingFaith, the British Jesuits’ e-journal.
