Catholic Bishops are emboldening over abortion following Tuesday’s election: “I cannot have a vice president-elect coming to Scranton to say he’s learned his values there when those values are utterly against the teachings of the Catholic Church,” Martino said.
I think it is time the Church stop worrying about tax-exempt status and start telling people the way they should vote (or, at the very least, lay out exactly how they should NOT vote). It is a grave, mortal sin to support any candidate who supports abortion, and souls are much more valuable than any dollar figure.
Here’s to hoping that the next four years sees a continuation of a newfound political passion by our Catholic Bishops. Clearly, by the exit polling of Catholics, the message has not been getting through.

Interestingly, CBS news points out that Palin has been the most accessible of the four top presidential ticket candidates recently:
In the past two days alone, Palin has answered questions from her national press corps on three separate occasions. On Saturday, she held another plane availability, and on Sunday, she offered an impromptu press conference on the tarmac upon landing in Colorado Springs. A few minutes later, she answered even more questions from reporters during an off-the-record stop at a local ice cream shop.
By contrast, Biden hasn’t held a press conference in more than a month, and Obama hasn’t taken questions from his full traveling press corps since the end of September. John McCain—who spent most of the primary season holding what seemed like one, never-ending media availability—hasn’t done one since Sept. 23.
Considering Biden doesn’t think Obama is qualified to be our next president, one can understand why he isn’t taking questions. He, too, is worried about Obama’s inexperience in the case of an international crisis.
