If this were about souls, how come did the bishops wait until an election year to make an issue out of how certain politicians vote?

Hard as it is to grasp, even politicians have souls. Even politicians that seem to delight in having cameras trained on them in the election season as they take Communion. This is the best 'teachable moment' the Church has had in quite a while.

You know, for all the well deserved criticism over the abuse scandal in the Church, the Bishops can't win. They are damned if they do and damned if they don't.

Ahh....Sinky....the Daschle excommunication was LAST year; the Burke letters were LAST year...

Furthermore, election years are the ONLY time to remind voters of who the baby-killers are.
