The next thing the Bishop might say is to order Torie (not Catholic or even religious at all) to stop posturing himself...

Were you a Catholic, what the Bishop had "ordered" would matter.  Since you're not, what difference should it make to you?  I am not seeing your example as pertinent.

But the Bishop doesn't think Daschle is Catholic either, so Daschle and I in that sense are in the same box. The Bishop thinks neither of us is Catholic, and both are "immoral." And he has not standing to "order" us to do anything. He has standing to give his opinion. That's it.

Torie, if you're not Catholic or religious at all I find it funny that you think you know how to best run a church. Even the most experienced Christians find it extremely challenging. The Church has dual citizenship, in heaven, and on earth. The heavenly authority is foremost, and always takes precedence over our earthly citizenship. So the argument that what a church does is "unAmerican" is rather moot to the church involved, if what they are doing is in obedience to God.
