To: Republic If You Can Keep It
What is the church waiting for?
Concensus. You get the idea that a lot of bishops want to present a nationally united front. I'm not sure why, exactly. There's supposedly some committee working on a statement and none of them wants to come out ahead of it and then have to reverse themselves. Not that the answer isn't clear.
Or, they're waiting for the Vatican to say it for them, which is absolutely possible, as wimpy as some of those guys are.
In the meantime, we just keep praying.

Long prior to Archbishop Burke there was a California bishop who denied communion to a pro-abortion (decades ago, I believe) and he was pretty badly attacked over it, and left on his own by his fellow Bishops. Not many who want to be standing out there by themselves. It is nice to see at least a couple though.
