The below is what Bobby said in 2009.
I wonder how Bobby reconciles what he said in 2009 (highlighted in yellow below) with his proclamation of yesterday regarding his obvious change of heart about the church and her teaching on contraception. Especially in light of his comment on Jesus being the "Truth."
If Jesus is the Truth, and he founded the Catholic Church, then the Church is Truth because he is God and He cannot have founded a lie.
I wonder which is it for Bobby? He, obviously, needs our prayers for him to remain faithful to his Catholic faith and not have bought into what the wolrld (Republican Party) is offering!
Bobby Jindal, Catholic Church disagree on birth control issue

Catholic church leadership in Louisiana disagree with Gov. Bobby Jindal's support Gov. Bobby Jindal's support of over-the-counter oral contraception, the Archdiocese of New Orleans said Friday.
"We disagree with the governor's opinion because, as the Catholic Church teaches, contraception is always wrong," Archdiocese Communications Director Sarah Comiskey McDonald said.
Jindal, a Catholic, came out in support of access to the pill without a prescription in a Thursday night op-ed for the Wall Street Journal.
In the op-ed, the self-described "unapologetic pro-life Republican" governor of Louisiana said over-the-counter access would lower health-care costs, prevent government intrusion into citizens' lives and fight the influence of big pharmaceutical companies.
Jindal, who is in opposition to over-the-counter access to the morning after pill, said since Plan B is available in most areas, then birth control should also be.
In the op-ed, Jindal cited a December committee opinion from the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists which came out in favor of over-the-counter access to the pill "to improve contraceptive access and use and possibly decrease unintended pregnancy rates."

Jindal's Conversion

Many Americans had their first chance to get acquainted with Bobby Jindal on national television last evening, when he delivered the Republican Party’s response to President Barack Obama’s address to Congress.
But they didn’t have any opportunity to learn about the youthful Louisiana governor’s deep Catholic faith, as he didn’t touch on that in his speech.
Jindal’s conversion to Catholicism from the ancestral Hindu faith of his parents was not a simple journey, nor one without a price. Jindal discussed the motivations for his conversion in this excerpt from an article first printed in America magazine in 1993.
“The motivation behind my conversion, however, was my belief in one, objectively true faith,” Jindal wrote. “If Christianity is merely one of many equally valid religions, then the sacrifices I made, including the loss of my family’s peace, were senseless. I was comfortable in my Hindu faith and enjoyed an active prayer life; I only gradually felt a void and stubbornly resisted God’s call from within the church. It was Truth and Love that finally forced me to accept Christ as Lord. ‘Jesus said to him, “I am the way and the truth and the life: No one comes to the Father except through me”’ (In. 14:6). Christ’s redemptive sacrifice proved that God loved me and was lifting me up to Him.”
