I'm not a bishop so I can't claim any pastoral charism but it seems to me there needs to be a graded and progressive approach to this issue as far as Catholic public figures are concerned. First there should be private discussions on this topic between pastor and politician.

I'm sorry, FRiend, because I agree with you almost all the time. However, God will sift the wheat from the chaff. And, for those who have much, much will be expected. The Archbishop surely knows those lines of Scripture. The Lord will deal with him; all we can do is pray for him each and every day that he is guided by the Holy Spirit and that he is talking to these individuals in a pastoral way behind the scenes.
