I need to publicly apologize for characterizing Archbishop Gregory as an Obama supporter who refused to speak out on life issues.

"Let he who is without sin cast the first stone", John 8:7.

Many of us are equally guilty of lambasting priests and bishops, thus placing ourselves in the 'judgement' seat. That is why the Catholic Church is like a hospital for sinners. We thank our Lord for bestowing on us the Sacrament of Confession where our souls may be cleansed from these sins.

“Many of us are equally guilty of lambasting priests and bishops, thus placing ourselves in the ‘judgement’ seat”.

Sure enough, let's not make excuses for sin.

But in this day and age with public forums like FR where we laity have the ability to let our Bishops and clergy hear what we SINCERELY think they should be saying or doing, then we, in charity, should let them know.

I have to admit, I'm proud of how they've come up to bat in this election!

You know, they have to fight human respect just like all of us and they are coming through!

God Bless!
