Many Catholic Bishops but not all opposed the Health Reform Bill. The supporters are elderly and soon will be gone. Notre Dame as did most Jesuit Universities legally divorced themselves from Catholicism in 1968 with the Land Of the Lakes Agreement. Many of the priests and especially nuns when discussing health reform or immigration speak for themselves and not the Church. These people are mostly over 60 years of age and it will take about 20 years for the misguided individuals to leave this life.Death is a wonderful cleansing agent
The gospel of “Social Justice” was preached since Vatican II when many Catholics dreamed of being just like the mainline Protestants. This thank God has been slowly filtered out of the Church. If these priests and nuns had any sense of decency they would be attending mainline Protestant services and treating the Protestants to their " Brilliant" ideas.Republican stickers abound in my church parking lot on Sunday.

I know that patriots support those who work AGAINST them daily...hoping against hope that things will change.

And the evidence shows that things are getting worse for us in this country.

And I see ZERO signs of the Catholic Church actually working or succeeding in our interests.

Mainline Protestants have always been to the right of Catholics, and still are, until recent years, they were way, way to the right.
