Because Catholics have been given a special exemption from PC protections. Its okay to refer to them as kooks or zealots, and its fine to desecrate their symbols – like displaying a painting of the virgin Mary with images of elephant dung and genitalia. And it is perfectly reasonable for the state, or the secular majority to force them to abandon their most sacred beliefs. Its in the fine print in the PC manual.

Catholic hospitals will be flooded with lawyers driving women in labor to the the ER demanding late-term abortions.

I suppose the theocrats and atheocrats (and their philosophers) will have to put the gloves back on and enter the ring again to duke it out for a few more rounds. Ask a modern day environmentalist if their belief in environmentalism is so strong that they see it in terms of having a god (earth), a deity (Al Gore), sin (capitalism), symbols (recycle logo), and orthodoxy (EPA and myriad other groups). I admit to lifting some of this banter from others.
