New York Archbishop Timothy Dolan told NBC Meet the Press that the Catholic Church is losing the argument over same sex marriage. He cited being caricatured as anti gay as a factor while noting bishops oppose the legislation and advocate universal health care with concerns over contraception mandates in the Affordable Care Act. The interview follows waves of laws expanding marriage rights in Hawaii and Illinois.
