Honk If You're Holier Than Thou

Here's a sentence we might have expected in the newspapers this year, and sure enough! "...never before have so many bishops so explicitly warned Catholics so close to an election that to vote a certain way was to commit a sin."

Big article in today's NYTimes about how certain Catholic Bishops are preaching that a vote for John Kerry this year is a vote for Satanic rule over the United States. The Southern Baptists aren't the only church to sell out to Caesar.

It's all about abortion (natch!) and homosexual marriage (big irony, that, considering recent scandals in the church over boy-buggery) and some bishops are throwing in stem-cell research for extra measure. Meanwhile, nothing gets said about preemptive war and the death penalty, from the church that preaches that all life is sacred in God's eyes.
