The Catholic Bishops support net-neutrality rules.
In a letter to Congress last week outlining public policy priorities, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops endorsed the controversial broadband policy.
"True net neutrality is necessary for people to flourish in a democratic society," the letter said.
The bishops said they support federal regulations and legislation that "ensure equal access to the Internet for all, including religious and non-profit agencies, as well as those in more sparsely populated or economically distressed areas."
The letter also addressed marriage, abortion and the economy, among various other policy issues.
WHAT!?
Someone needs to tell ‘em we’re NOT a democracy.
We’re a REPUBLIC.
Man, the Holy Mother Church is in trouble.
Way out of line with this call, Vatican!
Wouldnt believe anything anyone says about the Church. Especially the USCCB.
I bet they were for Obamacare, too.
We have two foreign lead religions working to influence policy here in the US.
One is HQ’d in Mecca.
What was their stance on those issues?
listen, if you don't know the difference between the Vatican and the USSCB you really ought just sit it out and maybe take notes.
A long time ago in a universe far, far away, clergy were actually amongst the most educated in society.
To quote Inspector Clouseau: “Not any more.”
Perhaps the bishops has best try something simple - weed out all the child molesters within their ranks...then they can start with a simple IT class.
(This is coming from a Catholic trained ex-Catholic.)
sheeesh Well that proves it. We live in bizzaro world.
and the other?
nothing is surer of itself than willful ignorance.
>>(This is coming from a Catholic trained ex-Catholic.)<<
Nothing more unreasonable than an “ex” anything.
OH, so you didn’t like my wording? So-o-o-o-o sorry!
Hey, Vatican! Your Yank Bishops are way out of line with this call!
Feeling better?
Christians in name only.
I don’t believe that.
But they are lead by a foreign nation.
Our Founders warned us about foreign based religions.
Yet another reason I’m glad I left that cesspool of a “church”.

Bunch of leftists...........
Ping for later
Hey, if it’s good enough for the Net, then it should be good enough for the Church, right? Let’s hear their take on Church neutrality. Catholic churches will have to open their doors and make available their facilities for gay pride dances, birth control counselling, divorce seminars, and abortion encouragement groups.
