The House's Catholic Democrats Detail Role Religion Plays

"Some of us are pro-choice pro-death and some of us are pro-life," said Rep. William J. Pascrell Jr. (D-N.J.).

Some are Catholics, and some are wolves in sheep's clothing.

Their blather about "poverty" and supporting the "poor" is such B.S. -- there is nobody poorer than an unwanted, unborn child.

All their ideas on helping the poor are . . . shall we say idiosyncratic? IIRC, there was one year when John Kerry (vaunted champion of the poor) reported -0- in charitable donations (I don't think he's ever reported more than $300). Called on it, he said he had two kids in college. He didn't mention -- but Howie Carr found out -- that he also had to buy an $8,000 motorcycle.

Those who blabber the most about giving to the poor (which we are in fact enjoined to do) seem to be the most reluctant to reach into their own pockets!

My guess would be Archbishop Michael J. Sheehan of the Diocese of Santa Fe. Was the bishop of Lubbock, and I had the distinct pleasure of growing up around him. I saw him on the O'Reilly factor the other night; O'Reilly said he was the only bishop who would talk to him on camera. Hopefully there is more to come!
