Hooray for these Bishops. The list keeps growing.

I'm thinking that these Bishops need to receive messages of encouragement. Your thoughts?

Catholic Ping!

Here is a word cloud of the bishops statements created by @prolixpatriot:

I don’t know why they are speaking out now.

Just because it’s now on their doorstep?

Couldn’t they think even a day or two ahead?

Why didn’t they speak out when the Stupak ‘fake out the pro-life churches’ move was introduced to the House for a vote? Back when this could have been stopped cold in it’s tracks?

Please ping me to note-worthy Pro-Life or Catholic threads, or other threads of general interest.

Bishop Supich of the Diocese of Spokane (Seattle Province, I believe) is conspicuous by his absence from the list, and by the total silence from the pulpit here. Like it never happened. 2+ weeks of crickets chirping.

I thought he would be a most-welcome breath of fresh air after his predecessor. And our pastor is a retired USAF chaplain!

Yet, they have the temerity to push for more donations to the Annual Catholic Appeal...my encouragement will consist of engaging their wallet.

How many of these voted for Obama?

Archbishop Peter Sartain, of Seattle, WA (disputed)

What does that mean -- disputed?

Unfortunately, Socialism seems natural to people of the cloth. Now about breaking that deal with Satan — it ain’t gonna be that easy. Good news, however, that they’re trying.

Yet these bishops were fine with the Democrat Party over other issues like illegal immigration and "helping the poor". They neglected to realize that the Dem Party is a package deal.

Hooray for these Bishops.

And yet Roman Catholics overwhelmingly voted for him. Where were these Bishops during the last election?

I am very happy The Church is fighting this unconstitutional law on 1st Amendment grounds. Every angle eats away at the monstrosity.

But I wish we would have heard from them when the issue was simply liberty. Heck, I get the impression that if you pulled all birth control and abortion out of the bill for them that they'd then be OK with it.

Still, bravo for the balls.
