The manifesto was principally authored by Charles Colson and Robert George, not the bishops and the others, who came on as signatories. All of them are long-time opponents of abortioon and the gay agenda. The intent, I believe, is to inform and inspire more Evalgelical-Catholic unity on key issues, not to promote a denominational or partisan agenda, properly so called.
In fact, I believe the signatories would strongly object if anyone tried to steer it into a narrowly denominational or partisan direction. This is a call to Christ and a call to principles, which merits fraternal support. I would not disparage it.

Posted on the other thread, but I’ll post it here as well:
A couple of questions:
1. What does this document explicitly require of the signer?
2. Will its prominent signers have to change anything they’ve been doing in the political arena?
3. How well does their performance over the last few years match up with its words?

Can Mr. Colson and Mr. George defend the truthfulness of this phrase?
After the judicial imposition of "same-sex marriage" in Massachusetts, for example...

I should have read your post before saying much the same thing a minute ago!
