Biden-gate :-)
About time!
I think this is due at least in part to the leadership of Pope Benedict.
There have always been high-ranking, pro-abortion Catholics in Washington. I’m wondering why now Church leadership is coming out so vociferously against Biden and Pelosi. I’m all for it, don’t get me wrong.
Its long overdue.
Oh slow Joe Biden, this is why Dummies shouldn’t do theology.

you can hear a sermon of Bishop Morlino of Madison, WI quite critical of Biden and Pelosi
I do not know what to make of the bishops finally summoning some leadership. It couldn’t come at a better time.
Pelosi got called called for her comments... so this jerk repeats them. Palin’s gonna’ rip him a new one during the debate!
Amazing. There was a time it would be remarkable for 3 U.S. bishops to respond to this at all, but now we have 3 bishops respond within 24 hours?
try telling that to my Catholic MIL who has been voting dem all her life...........
I’m betting it’s the Pope’s influence. Several bishops have said something before, but it was isolated and sporadic. Giving some of them a shove, though, brings out enough simultaneously to make a much more forceful impression. Keep ‘em coming! ;-)
Maybe the Vatican knows something we don't.
I suspect that his racial/ethnic liberal politics - that only allow him to support Obama (and by extension Pelosi and Kennedy and Biden and Kerry ....) - are more important to him than 43 million aborted taxpayers.
I want to remember this in case I need it for ammo because it is true so by posting it, I can find it again for awhile.
Now there was a thread about a bishop? in WI who scrapped his sermon? s/b homily oh well after Biden's appearance on "Meet the Press", same old tired argument we've heard so much.
My only concern, and I don't do poscast to hear a replay, is that if he brought him up by name in church, I don't know if that crosses the line. I don't want the Catholics to get backed into a corner and risk losing their 501c(3). They have to walk a fine line. Unless you are a liberal church.
This weekend our priest went off in his sermon on how we have to remove the unbeliever from the group, after airing your grievances with him, two or three witnesses, and then The Church.
does kennedy take communion?
i’m a former catholic who did not like the double standard, turn a blind-eye to those “famous” catholics who support abortion and take communion and get an annulment after having children and being married for 20 years.
Biden was speaking in Iowa today. He looked very old, tired, and depressed. How anyone could be inspired by that...It seems like they are bummed out by McCain’s poll numbers in the wake of the convention and the Palin pick.
Pope Benedict would be the reason why we are now getting more action from the bishops about this.
They know they are in for an a$$ whippin'!
