From your link, DMD, “There are conversations right now to arrange a meeting to talk with folks about how this policy can be nuanced,” said Pastor Joel C. Hunter, a Florida megachurch pastor who has grown personally close to Obama and advised his White House on religious issues. “This is so fixable, and we just want to get into the conversation.” ??? ...Doesn't the left hand know what the right is doing... clearly not Archbishop Timothy Dolan of New York, the president of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), met with President Barack Obama at the White House on November 8. ... Archbishop Dolan said at a November 14 press conference that he left the meeting “a bit more at peace [about religious liberty] than when I entered” and that he believed the president to be “very open to the sensitivities” of Catholics about religious liberty. See more recent comments by the same Cardinal-designate Timothy M. Dolan head of the U.S. bishops' conference, says the Obama administration has revoked the religious freedom of groups that do not regard women's fertility as as "disease".... an unprecedented incursion into freedom of conscience” Anyone who watches Cardinal-designate Dolan knows that he's very personable and he is clear on truth and we can be certain he was absolutely clear with the President about the ""sensitivities” of Catholics about religious liberty."" at that November 8th meeting. The word "betrayed" came up in the press regarding Dolan after the HHS announcement was made.

There is no compromise offer coming from the Administration. In effect, they are telling the Church it has three months in which to figure out how to square its faith and principles with the regulation issued by HHS, or face the consequences. That's the Chicago way. "Nice little Church, ya got there, Bishop. Shame if anything were to happen to it".

I am happy to report that recent updates to the CatholicVote page seem to intentionally try to mention Eastern Catholics correctly and with respect. "I am no longer able to find a single Roman Catholic bishop who has NOT spoken out against the mandate publicly. It is also my presumption that this conclusion applies to all Eastern Rite and Sui Iuris bishops in the U.S.)." http://www.catholicvote.org/discuss/index.php?p=26957
