What would be the effect if all the American bishops made similar statements this weekend?

Well, for openers, the LeftPressMonopoly would go absolutely bonkers--more than over the homosexual predator-priest story.

Then the IRS would move to lift the tax exemption of the Church.

Then a bunch of "Catholics" would leave the church.

All in all, it would be a very good thing.

It would be an EXCELLENT thing. It's about time all Christians and Jews, clergy and laymen, RC and Orthodox, Protestant and Coptic, Pentacostal and evangelicals, whatever, stood up shoulder to shoulder against this monstrous evil.

I have stood in lines with both Catholics and fellow protestants demonstrating against abortionaries. We have our differences of course, but we were as one on this issue and that's how it should be everywhere. Archbishop Chaput is doing his part, now I'm waiting to hear something as clear and unequivocal from some other quarters. But I'm afraid I'll be waiting a long time to hear it from the mainline protestant denomination leaders, most of them recieved their 30 pieces of silver decades ago.
