For years we have witnessed the slow process of chipping away at our religious freedoms e.g. no more prayer in public schools, the removal of religious symbols in public places, restrictions on Christmas manger scenes etc., and the bishops remained mute all those years.
Now we are expected to pray that God would put some common sense in the mind of the living occupant of the White House, which would be a first in American history.
Wouldn’t it be simpler for all the bishops to gather on the White House lawn and pray to Obama directly asking him to loosen the bonds he has placed? Perhaps he will give them a presidential blessing.
I am not trying to be blasphemous but I think there is something screwy here. Why can’t these bishops get on their pulpits and publicly declare that Catholics must not vote for any presidential candidate who places restrictions on religious freedoms?
Hey you guys, get a spine.
It would be simpler for all the bishops to gather on the White House lawn, raise their fists, and say, with one voice, "We. Will. Not. Comply!".
