Andrew Sullivan has given an eloquent voice to the very real frustrations that we lay Roman Catholics have experienced, not only in the wake of the recent scandals, but in our everyday lives [RELIGION, June 17].

Similarly, Washington is entitled to say - as Bush did during last week...

"As a matter of common sense, a court should struggle not to reach this result," says Jack Balkin, a professor at Yale Law School. "But the reasoning isn?t crazy. It?s technically correct." Vincent Blasi, a law professor at Columbia University and the University of Virginia, agreed. "If you?re being true to the idea that government must not take positions on religious questions, then the Ninth Circuit opinion is quite persuasive," he says.
