George Weigel has weighed in on the controversy in Phoenix over at First Things.

Bishop Thomas J. Olmsted withdrew the Catholic designation in December from St. Joseph’s Hospital and Medical Center there because of a dispute over whether a 2009 procedure performed at the hospital was a direct abortion.
