Much has been made over the supposed indifference of Protestant churches over abortion on the one hand, and the acceptance of contraception on the other. There is an ugly little fact that seems to be hidden in all this piety. I refer to the canard over the difference between personal accountability and public responsibility that has been used by those involved in politics to excuse their participation in the establishment of immoral public policy.

The USCCB is hardly beyond reproach. For all the noise and smoke you would think that bishops had actually done something. You would think maybe someone has actually been refused communion, but no we’re still just starting to commence to begin to get ready to do something.

Since the Episcopal Church abandoned my principles, I have sought a Church home. Because the Catholic Church will not actually match action to words, I have not been able to settle there, though I long to do so.

Dear delacoert,

“The USCCB is hardly beyond reproach. For all the noise and smoke you would think that bishops had actually done something.”

Oh, then you agree with me, as in what I said to RobbyS in post 25:

“You're right. As much as the Catholic hierarchy have done for life, they have also done many stupid things that have worked against life. Regrettably, many of our bishops have been and are feckless.

"Which is why we should remember to pray for them even more."

I will add that there are many things that they have not done, as well, the failure to do which have worked against life.
