This Is The BEST They Have To Offer?
But because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold, not hot, I will begin to vomit thee out of my mouth - The Apocalypse of St. John, 3:16. Douay-Rheims Bible
I just want to make sure I have this correct. The heavy-hitters in both the Republican Party, and The Catholic Church are there fine fellows ~
Senator John McCain - Who happens to be in favor of embryonic stem cell research, as well as against the overturning of Roe V. Wade. "I would not seek to overturn Roe v. Wade tomorrow, because doing so would endanger the lives of women". This guy's a Republican leader?
Archbishop Donald Weurl, Washington, DC - That brave shepherd who chooses to look the other way while baby-butchers are given Holy Communion at "Catholic" churches. This guy's a Catholic Leader?
Mayor Rudy Giuliani - Well known for his anti-2d Amendment stance where law abiding Americans are suppose to be able to defend their families, homes and themselves. But not if "Big Government" Rudy gets his way. He's also pro-abort and pro-homo union. This guy's a Republican leader?
Roger Cardinal Mahony, Los Angeles - Infamous supporter of the pro-sodomy lifestyle. And just about everything else heretical. This guy's a Catholic leader?
Governor Mitt Romney - Better known as Mr. All Over The Map. Last I heard, he was in favor of abortion, homo-unions, stem cell research, etc. But in all fairness, it's only Saturday. I'm sure his stances will mutate a few dozen more times between now and the primaries. This guy's a Republican leader?
Bernard Cardinal Law - Yet another brave shepherd who not only opened the gates for the wolves to devour the lambs... he also did everything he could to protect the wolves even after they did unspeakable acts of degradation and violence against hundreds and hundreds of children. This guy's a Catholic leader?
Remember folks, just because someone calls themselves a Catholic or a Republican leader, that doesn't mean that they really are. Obedience to error isn't true obedience.
I'm reminded of the quote ~ "Satan's masterstroke is to have succeeded in sowing disobedience to all Tradition through obedience."

Cavie,
These jerks do make things look bleak. But, consider also Archbishop Chaput, Archbishop Curtis, Bishop Olmstead, Bishop Vasa. On the political side it is more sparse but when have Senator Brownback.
My point exactly, Pater.
You mention any of the bishops you cited to your everyday run-of-the-mill Catholic nowadays, and the response you'll get will be a hearty "huh"?
A few are at least somewhat familiar with Sen Brownback, but damn few are even remotely familiar with the likes of Tancredo or Hunter.
Mediocrity and compromise will be the death of us all.
This is why, when I pray the Second Glorious Mystery, I offer it up to pray for upright and courageous leaders in these tough times.
Do we spend nearly enough time praying for the things we really need?
I guess that I am not the run-of-the-mill Catholic. I have actually met Se. Brownback. I am also familiar with the other Bishps & politicos.
Maybe that is because I am active in Right-to-Life as well as advisor to the Loras College Republicans & on the DBQ Co Republican Central Committee.
Unfortunately the average Catholic in DBQ (see any local Franciscan Nun for a prime example) will automatically vote for a pro-abortion Democrat because "I am personally opposed to abortion but we CAN'T IMPOSE our morality on others." & says it while protesting the Iraq War because war IS IMMORAL & we should never go to war & this Democrat will get us out & see that we never do that immoral action again. & all the while never see the 800 lb gorrilla that is their hypocritcal inconsistancy standing right in front of them.
