The church is like a political party.
They want to build up their constituency, i.e., more members more revenue!
This is an easy political positition to stake out.
The reason that they can not deal with the Democratic Catholic Pro Abortion Politicians is that these politicians know a lot more about many of the pedofilia skeletons that are buried in the closets of these dioceses.
If these bishops take a strong stand against the Pro Abortion Catholic Democrats, these bishops will have all of their dirty laundry exposed!
I am not a Catholic, and I have no problem with the Catholic church per se, but many of the people that work for them piss me off on a regular basis.
