So none of your Bishops condone Gay Priest?
None of your Bishops have endorsed Pro-abortion canidates?
Anulments for rich Catholics are not a function of answering a few questions the right way(wink,wink)?

>> So none of your Bishops condone Gay Priest?

None condone a priest disobeying his vow of celibacy, under any circumstance. If they do in their heart, they keep quiet about it on the record, which is what we're discussing.

>> None of your Bishops have endorsed Pro-abortion canidates?

None should endorse any candidates. (I do remember a case of the Bishop of Hartford endorsing Joe Lieberman the first time he ran, precisely because Lieberman *claimed* he was pro-life.)

>>Anulments for rich Catholics are not a function of answering a few questions the right way(wink,wink)?

If so, the couple who receive the annulment are guilty of lying to the church, and their annulment is invalid in the eyes of God.

I remind you, I'm not saying there aren't disobedient bishops, or bishops who wink at immorality. One only needs to look at Cardinal Law to find a bishop who professed orthodoxy but tolerated all manners of evil. But when it comes to teaching the Catholic doctrine, they will not contradict it, or they will be disciplined.
