[Mrs. Don-o]

Why aren't Catholics grilled on theological and moral points? You know the answer as well as I do.

Catholic politicians aren't grilled on these things by the press and the pundits, because so many of them (those prominent on the national scene) don't believe any of it, neither the faith nor the morals, and everybody knows it.

If their own BISHOP questions their stand on bedrock right-and-wrong issues like, say, the intentional killing of the innocent, or the twisting of marriage to accommodate open perversion, it's the presstitutes and the pundits who cry "foul" and try to make the Bishop and everybody else shut up on these "divisive" issues.

Correct, Mrs. Don-o, I hinted at it with my comment about Catholic politicians saying, "I'm personally opposed to abortion, but . . .," but you gave the point more emphasis - there's kind of a winking going on between the press and most Catholic politicians, because the press knows the politicians don't believe any of that stuff anyway.

And it's the same with Obama, although he's not a Catholic, he professes to be a Christian but he's never grilled about - or asked to explain his position on - anything in the Bible that offends secular sensibilities.
