Why The Silence?

The Bishops are coming out strong against the Supreme Court dicision on same sex marriage unions, the use of the word marriage and so on.  The Supreme Court made another decision this past week.  They shot down the voting rights act of 1965.  Hours later a group of southern states passed rules that will make it harder for poor, i.e. black and democrat, to vote.  Nothing much from the bishops on this.  But then we are a medieval monarchy in which equality is not a big issue.  Bishops are big on immigration reform because most of the affected immigrants are Catholic.  Not many black Catholics in the south.  Just sayin'

  1. Fabulous observations. I suppose I think they're great because I agree with them but I with I'd thought of them first :-)

  2. Well, Fr. you are quite wrong. The bishops have spoken out against the Voting Rights Act. http://www.zenit.org/en/articles/voting-a-right-and-a-responsibility-recall-us-bishops?utm_campaign=dailyhtml&utm_medium=email&utm_source=dispatch
