A VERY mushy letter from the Cardinal.
He should have been MUCH stronger with his words on the Democrat stances on abortion, homosexuality, and assaults on religious freedom.
But I suspect the Cardinal is too respectful of Obama's positions on immigration and social justice to make such a strong statement. Very disappointing.
Parish priests and bishops were speaking puffy evasive palaver, and writing mush on these critical life-liberty issues all over the country. A big reason for is that -- if demographic trends hold steady ---- 70% of the U.S. church will soon be Hispanic. The Hispanics were strongly pro-Obama, and neither pastors nor bishops wanted to alienate them.
Nor would they try to educate them.
It's amazing how long it took me to realize this.
