a controversy most of them would rather see go away.

Let's see -- they don't want to deal with soi-disant Catholic politicians who support abortion, they don't want to deal with enabling bishops and homosexuals in the clergy, they assume papal directives don't apply to them . . .

Of course, they have more important things to do, like having their own commission on Peace and Justice, offering cement-headed economic pomposities and foreign policy inanities. What, do you expect them to do everything?
