Bishops fault.
I agree with you. During the 2006 election, the USCCB issued “guidelines” for Catholic voters, which listed abortion as just one of many issues that Catholics needed to consider. One could read these guidelines and conclude that it was okay to vote for a pro-abortion candidate as long as he was good on other issues, such as the minimum wage, immigration, welfare, education, and health care. I thought that the whole thing was ridiculously skewed in favor of Democrat causes while minimizing the importance of life issues.
