I know some of those same people here. They just don’t get it!!! 50 million dead American children and people think they can continue to vote for the dems without thinking about the abortion issue. I suppose they think if they themselves aren’t effected by the abortion issue,no big deal.

They can speak about issues and people. It’s when it gets to endorsements and specific legislation that it gets tricky.
Sounds like the do-nothing Congress to me. Are Kennedy, Pelosi and Biden's immortal souls in danger or not? Have any of them indicated any sort of willingness to listen to the "dialogue"? Or is the good Archbishop really just preaching to the choir?
