Beware of Dogma - I have to hand it to the Catholic hierarchy. No other religious authority knows how to lean on its layity when it comes to enforcing orthodoxy quite the way they do. In the latest bid to halt gay marriage, Boston's archbishop told members of his church who are also judges and lawyers that they must use their legal skills to work against same-sex marriage, according to the AP. At least American Catholics have long had the good sense to ignore what their leaders instruct them to do. (In Spain they've gone so far as to sue their bishop, but that seems excessive to me.)
