AmericanPapist summarized yesterday that 1/4 of our bishops to this date have issued statements stressing the importance of abortion in this election. TWO bishops have apparently made the seamless garment statement to their flock.
IMHO the Faithful Citizenship document leaves itself open to interpretation but it stresses the intrinsic evils, abortion, euthanasia, stem-cell research -- and racism (interesting given the number of "not voting for Obama is racist" arguments out there) ... As of now 3/4 of the bishops have not issued statements.
The USCCB itself has been fighting the "economic policies = reduce abortion = Obama is the more pro-life candidate" case. They even combated the argument that "support for mothers is primarily what we need, not making abortion illegal".
Of course these bishops are increasingly labeled controversial by the press. Did you ever think you would see the day when 1/4 of our bishops would be labeled controversial? It has even caused a VERY Protestant sports forum I visit to stand up and take notice. They say "I wish our churches would do like the Catholics" ...
Meanwhile Amy Welborn writes a very thoughtful post on the pro-life movement; its failures and asks those who think it too focused on "law" excetly what direction it should change?

This is a "fresh" blogroll. It tends to list blogs most frequently updated at the top. It will also drop blogs not updated for a few days. Never fear though, if you post, it will show back up. If you are interested in how I did it see
