Catholics always complain that the Bishops should point blank tell these politicians they are not a part of the Catholic Church, but the Bishops see Catholic voters elect these same politicians year in and year out.

I think this election year the Bishops should all state these politicians are NOT a part of the Catholic Church and see how the Catholic voters will react. Because if the politicians are re-elected with a strong Catholic majority then the Bishops are off the hook.

I agree that the US bishops need to unequivocally admonish Kerry, who daily spouts some new interpretation of Catholic dogma. But, I am not optimistic that they will take the correct course of action. The same spineless bunch that was afraid to confront the homosexual abuse scandal is still in control at the American Conference of Bishops. Consequently the scandal that is Kerry's self serving brand of Catholicism will be allowed to fester. It has become very difficult for me to have any respect for the current episcopal (small e) crowd.
