From, “Here Comes Nobody,” by Maureen Dowd, 5/19/12, The New York Times:
[extract from an article addressing the attitude and activities
within the catholic church]
The latest kooky kerfuffle
was sparked by the invitation to Kathleen Sebelius, the health and human
services secretary, to speak at a graduation ceremony at Georgetown University
on Friday. The silver-haired former Kansas
governor is a practicing Catholic with a husband and son who graduated from Georgetown. But because
she fought to get a federal mandate for health insurance coverage of
contraceptives and morning-after pills, including at Catholic schools and
hospitals, Sebelius is on the hit list of a conservative Catholic group in
Virginia, the Cardinal Newman Society, which militates to bar speakers at
Catholic schools who support gay rights or abortion rights.
Kerfuffle: a disorderly
outburst, disturbance, commotion or tumult
