The atty was probably told that if he didnt recuse himself he would be excommunicated for standing against a papal writ. The Vatican doesnt take well to renegade parishioners.
Should this guy Birnbaum be advising the diocese of Lacrosse in the first place.
"James Birnbaum, who acts as an attorney for the Catholic diocese of LaCrosse, Wisconsin, has given thousands in donations to pro-abortion candidates."
The Hierarchy who hire these types should be refused Communion for giving Catholic collection money to supporters of abortion.
Where the hell are their brains, certainly not in their heads, must be to much communion wine.
The voter's guides should not be distributed ''on your parish grounds or during your parish activities,'' Birnbaum wrote.
Pray tell us where you stand on bubba & kerry campaigning in church, attorney Birnbaum. And what other free speech issues do you wish to censor?
Father Pavone warned watchers that those placing voting guides on cars parked in public places were using their free speech rights, and that priests and others who tried to intimidate them might find themselves in court...
Considering Pavone is a soft spoken guy, he was quite adament that Catholics do not give up their right to expression as private persons in private places just because they oppose abortion...
He can't do it.
The pro-life stance is doctrine, not politics.
If he does so, he is interfering with the free exercise of religion.
There is 2000 years of Christianity behind that culture of life position.
Catholic Ping!
Pinging Catholics ...........
I'm off to work the phone banks to remind everyone in my state to vote!
Oregon was lost to Gore in 2000 by only 6,700 votes, yet 100,000 registered Republicans did NOT vote!
Get out the Republican vote in your state too!
Catechism of the Catholic Church and what it says about those who support abortion
I'm not asking permission for my parish. I just marked the flyers for distribution at the Catholic Churches with the times of Mass and the GOP are going to put them on windshields. While we have 3 private parking lots most of the people park on the street and none of the parking lots are marked as private.
I wish I were be a member of that parish...
So I could resign.
my parish, they snuck the voters guides, without saying anything, into the church bulletin....
Who is the administrative Bishop of La Crosse at this point? Could somebody show him where stage left is so he can escort Mr. Birnbaum out?
Not a very good actor is my humble opinion.

Excommunicate his butt.
Time for that Diocese to find a new lawyer!
I had a woman come up to me a few weeks ago when I was doing a Voter Registration at the back of Church. She said she thought that wasn't allowed. I informed her that not only was it allowed, it should be encouraged at ALL parishes because it is one of our moral duties to become informed and engaged in choosing people to represent us. Turns out, she can't stand Bush, so I'm sure it chapped her that I was doing it, I kept my purse out of view; it has two B/C pins on it! Didn't want to be accused of electioneering!
