A far more serious concern for the Roman Catholic church ought to be politicians in high places who espouse allegiance to the church and vote against what it teaches, such as the scantity of life. You can make a long list of such "Catholics" just in the U.S. Senate-- Patty Murray, Maria Cantwell, Ted Kennedy, Barbara Mikulski, Paul Sarbanes, Mary Landrieu . . . who not only go along with the party leadership but are leaders in formulating it.
In fact, the only two Catholics in the Senate I can think of who follow the teachings of their church in their public life are both white guys-- Peter Fitzgerald of Illinois and Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania.
