A top priority of the new Pope should be getting a spine transplant for bishops like O’Malley, Dolan, and Wuerl, who love to slobber on powerful politicians—especially Obama—and who have not yet had the courage to declare that pro-abortion nominal Catholic politicians must not be given Communion.
Agree.
In "Render Unto Caesar: Serving the Nation by Living Our Catholic Beliefs in Political Life", Archbishop Chaput recounts the story of Archbishop Joseph Rummel of New Orleans, who actually excommunicated three prominent Catholics (a judge, a writer and a community organizer) for "publicly denying the teaching of their church". The issue was racial integration. Pro-abort politicians deserve the same response, yet most bishops weakly pretend that there's nothing they can do to discipline these scandalous, hypocritical Catholics.
