Catholic Bishops Say No to Outside Voter GuidesUnless one is deaf, dumb and blind (or dead) or a spineless bishop of which we have too many, it's quite simple to determine the faithful guides from the pseudo-Catholic guides.
By Daniel Burke
WASHINGTON -- A committee of Catholic bishops has strongly urged fellow bishops not to allow the distribution of outside voter guides in Catholic parishes. As the nation moves toward the Nov. 7 midterm elections, millions of voter guides have been produced by Catholic and other Christian groups. But in a private letter sent to fellow prelates, Cardinal William Keeler, chairman of the bishops' Committee for Pro-Life Activities, said outside voter guides may not present church teachings accurately and may lead to “needless legal entanglements.” Instead, the cardinal urged his fellow bishops to allow only guides authorized by the bishops' conference itself.
Frankly, Keeler and "men" like him are not worthy of being leaders, much less bishops. If only they had the courage of the Apostles! I can only wonder, if we lived in early Rome, how many of these weak-kneed "shepherds" would have rejected the faith and offered sacrifices to false gods rather than suffer martyrdom?
