As I have followed the HHS mandate fight I find it curious how the Eastern Catholic Bishops and many of the their advocates viewpoints and statements seem to be ignored.
When I was researching this I came upon this thread CatholicVote intentionally ignoring Eastern Catholics? . Peters of Catholic Vote deals with this issue as to him here.
Still the absence of media coverage of the Eastern Catholic American Church is well quite glaring as to this affair.
They are not a insignificant number of Citizens nor a insignificant amount of Catholic USA citizens.
Where are they?
Of course one problem is " Latin Rite" Catholic themselves here in most of the USA seem to have an ignorance of the Eastern Catholic Church is sad. Which is one reason I was thrilled to see a huge effort at last year's World Youth Day for it to have a more Eastern Church component.
Returning to the religious liberty debate needless to say "Latin Rite" Catholics and Eastern Catholics are in the same boat. Hopefully the media and GOVT officials will start giving them a hearing as to this matter.

Didn't you know, we're second-class Catholics or "not Catholic enough". Its a shame but its true. Our bishops are seen as distinguished guests in the Bishops' conference. The liberals on the other hand think that we should all just be Latin. So, that doesn't leave us with much.

Its a bad fix. Though I did not cotice a good bit of Eastern Catholic Bishop interaction at the last Bishops meeting
