Cardinal George of Chicago has just given his opening address.
It is a testimony to the bishops’ good manners that the place didn’t explode in guffaws.
Here is a Cardinal held hostage by one of his own priests and parishes - Father Pfleger and Saint Sabina’s - giving the entire National Conference of Bishops a challenge to be true leaders?
What a pathetic charade.
Funny, our racist, extremist, liberal archbishop down here from Atlanta is scared not to /afraid of not making/proud to make EVERY statement he can praising Obama and illegal immigrants.
No, it wasn't a repudiation. It was the result of nearly four decades of mixed signals, timidity and fawning at politicians' feet from AmChurch. You reap what you sow. That won't be reversed with one month of intense anti-abortion rhetoric. The damage is by now systemic and deep-seated.
The correct response to the pro-Obama Catholic vote is not to throw in the towel and clam up. Quit the opposite. It's to roll up the sleeves and get to work to educate lapsed, indifferent and liberal Catholics.
