The Family Research Council has issued a correction of their press release yesterday that accused Congresswoman DeGette of "religious bigotry" based on a misquotation. Good for them.

However, after acknowledging the inaccuracy of yesterday's attack they slammed her again, saying

"However, Rep. DeGette accused the Catholic Bishops of controlling the outcome of the health care legislation and also accused them and other conservative Christians of violating the 'wall of separation' between church and state.

If they're basing that charge on DeGette's ABC interview from yesterday, that's still a rather dubious charge, as her remarks contained no reference to the Catholic Bishops "controlling the outcome." But I won't assume FRC is basing the entirety of their accusation on that interview, even though they don't cite any others.

Again, here's a transcript of Rep. DeGette's remarks to ABC (ellipses indicate beginning of responses to new questions):

"I gotta tell you, last I heard we had separation of church and state. I don't think the Catholic bishops are in charge of writing our healthcare bill. I think that they are one of many groups that we should listen to, but in the end they should be concerned that 36 million more people in this country will get healthcare. Many of them are their parishioners."

..."I'm not going to comment on what happened with the leadership."

..."I've got to say that I think that the Catholic bishops and all of the other groups should have input, but in the end what we need to do is have healthcare for 36 million Americans and not take away rights people have right now to get full reproductive care."
