To that illustrious record, he can now add Governor Sibelius.
Why can’t we have more Catholic leaders like Bishop Joseph Naumann?
“...someday she’s going to have to stand before God and account for her public service”
Bishop Joseph Naumann of Kansas City, Kansas speaks for all Christians. Bravo to him!
Is this the nutcase that claimed a tornado killed 10,000 in her state when it only killed 5 or 10, and then claimed that the National Guard wasn’t available because it was deployed to Iraq, only to have her own National Guard, issue a statement that they had more resources available than she had requested.
It’s not only liberals who want government to bail them out.
Conservative Bishops also expect government to do their work. If the Bishops directed their teaching charisma about abortion toward women, it would have a greater impact than mandating politicians to pass laws. BTW They could also write a letter or two about shacking up and hooking up which might also have something to do with abortions. If the Bishops convinced women, they would not have to depend on politicians.
It just doesn't work.
Thinking Judas Iscariot, at the moment...
Of course, I don't really expect the press to lift one finger to investigate the connection. They are too busy going after former-State-AG Phill Kline who tried to bring Tiller to justice.
"Brownback, who sought the GOP presidential nomination and is one of the leading anti-abortion voices in the Senate, recently released a statement with Roberts, congratulating Sebelius and expressing an eagerness to work with their fellow Kansan on health issues."
