Wuerl's stand on lawmakers who back abortion angers some conservative Catholics

Yet Archbishop Chaput gets a free pass. Go figure.

Chaput has taken Ritter on as far as the abortion issue is concerned.

I want to know if Wuerl is ready to explain to Ms. Pelosi, at the general judgment, why he didn't love her enough to help her along the path of truth?

Of course there is a difference between "conservative Catholics" and "traditionalist Catholics." Chaput and Wuerl have been considered "conservatives," and perhaps they are given the far left political spectrum of this day and age. Yet we have seen both of these guys attempt to appease politicians instead of instructing them and their flocks on right vs. wrong, good vs. evil, virtue vs. sin.

This is one of the reasons I've kept my tagline for a while now ... so as to proclaim there must be no hedging, obfuscation, or doublespeak when it comes to God and His teachings. St. Matthew said as much, and we must expect the direct and full truth from local bishops. Nothing more, nothing less.

It's all part of the cafeteria Catholicism practiced even by self described conservative Catholics.
