Crash Course: Catholic bishops celebrate a big win: But as they have sowed, so shall they reap

Your daily update from [Salon](~/AASU4wA~/RgRknBK-P0QWaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc2Fsb24uY29tL1cDc3BjQgpis7-NuWJLX5IiUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW44NUBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAACg~).

This week, the "crude zealots" won. America's Catholic bishops are doing a victory lap over this decision. Four of the five justices who voted to overturn Roe v. Wade were conservative Catholics. (Chief Justice John Roberts, also a conservative Catholic, voted to uphold the Mississippi abortion ban at issue in the Dobbs case, but did not support overturning Roe outright.)
