HA! Catholic News Service is left-leaning. It’s a tool of the US Conference of Catholic Bishops. They love illegal aliens and unions. They don’t represent conservative Catholics.

But they do represent CATHOLICISM. As a matter of fact, by your own admission they represent the US Conference of CATHOLIC Bishops.

Thus, they represent Catholicism.

Conservative Catholic vs. liberal Catholic.

So much for unity in the ranks.

Oh, and if you're going to split Catholicism into *conservative* and *liberal*, what are you going to do about the number of 1.2 billion members strong that keeps being bandied about when someone wants bragging rights on how big the Catholic church is. You aren't seriously going to try to convince anyone that that's the number of *conservative* Catholics out there, are you?

Seems that FRoman Catholics are more than happy to count the liberals that FRomans Catholics claim they denounce when it comes to counting them for membership roles.

Can you say *hypocrisy*?

I suggest you read up on the strife between the Vatican and the USCCB. It is a rather tumultuous relationship.
