Please reread the article. The vertebrae are aligning.

Is there a time frame for the Church committee that's developing a uniform policy regarding pro-abort pols?

I'm no expert on cannon law. But, it is my understanding that Bishops are given a great deal of autonomy over their diocese in this and many other such matters.

This explains why you may see a diocese with multiple sex abuse charges where the dioceses surrounding it may be virtually scandal free.

I am blessed to live in a great diocese and pray to hear a pronouncement to this effect from my bishop soon.
