Name one thing that they've done to discourage it.

Can't answer the question can you? Contraception is widely available in a variety of forms, is even advertised on prime-time TV. Treatments for herpes and what have you are casually discussed on the tube by people hopping from one bed to the other. Divorce has no stigma and marriage is as disposable for Republicans as it is for Democrats and millions of kids suffer as a result. It's even subsidized by the current income tax system. And the GOP has done not a single thing to discourage either. Not one. They dredge up bullshit legislation against same sex marriage and call it "Defense of Marriage Acts" when the real danger to marriage is in the Divorce court and not because two people want to marry. Marriage is a joke, not a commitment. Something to be tossed aside at will, thanks to laws supported by both parties. So you tell me, smart ass, if the Democrats are worthy of condemnation for their embrace of both divorce and contraception then why aren't the Republicans? Can you answer that? Of course not. Not without choaking on your hypocrisy.

Brave man, but suspect that the governor of Illinois will soon try to remove the diocese's tax exempt status.

True enough, however, just as your other comments, none of it is part of the Republican party platform, unlike Dems.

Not yet, but some of the "moderates" are working hard to make it so. Things will only get worse as more and more people reach retirement age in this country.

And yes the GOP is the lesser of the two evils, but if a pro abort Republican is running against a pro abort dem, I will not vote for the Republican just because they are one. I can not in good conscience vote for any pro death candidate.

Today marriage is on par with the relationship between a pet and its owner.

You get in more trouble abandoning your dog than your wife.

"Abortion, buggery, contraception, divorce, euthanasia, radical feminism, genetic experimentation and mutilation, are the seven “sacraments” of “one” US political party says the Bishop of the Catholic diocese of Rockford Illinois. "

>> Perfect!

It IS an appealing list, but I am not quite persuaded that it exhausts the supply of liberal horrors and infamies. One way to check is to review God's Commandments and see how -- not whether -- the liberals break each of them. Another way is to look at the Seven Deadly Sins and see if they liberals have failed to commit any of them (hint: no).

Well the 'Rats could hold their heads up high and insist that they had never coveted their neighbor's manservant -- then John sKerry showed up with his butler on the campaign trail and blew that deal for them.

>"He writes that while looking “askance” at the German people for their historical role in the deaths of 50 million people during the Nazi period, we in North America have blinded ourselves to the deaths of 40 million of unborn citizens since 1973. “No doubt,” he says, “we shall soon outstrip the Nazis in doing human beings to death”"

Rockford citizens
will probably petition
the Pope to recall

this guy for being
"divisive" or some such thing.
How dare he speak truth?!

I think he just looked at reality and put down in words what a lot of us have seen and either overlooked or not connected for some time.

That could be true as well. But God bless him none the less!

He didn't leave out the homosexual agenda, he specifically referred to buggery.

I have no disagreement with this fine gentleman as I find his analysis to be accurate in all respects.

After years of continuous statements from the House of Bishops that are clearly liberal, it is refreshing to see the conservative Bishops beginning to find their voices.

I think the Catholic Church wisely came to the conclusion that when you started debating evolution, all that happened was that people became overly emotional and nothing was really accomplished.

If he wasn't a bishop, I would suggest he run for office!
